The traditional Indian wear for men, sherwani
signifies elegance and style. The Sherwani is the most traditional of
Indian garments. It is a close fitting jacket like garment, of knee
length or longer, and has a opening in front with button fastenings, a
Nehru collar. They are usually teamed with tight fitting churidar and
Jodhpurs, which are a combination of churidars and trousers in a
contrasting color. With a khes or long scarf or a shawl draped over one
or both of the shoulders. Sherwanis look really regal and elegant
because they fuse the best of eastern and western styling. They are the
perfect attire for the wedding and also the reception party. They are
available in a staggering variety of colours with varying degrees of
embroidery from minimal to absolutely gaudy - whatever suits your style
of dressing!
Sherwani is a typical attire of the North Indian and Punjabi weddings.
Sherwani is a long coat, buttoned up in front with Nehru collars. The
sherwani looks good on tall and well-built people. Traditionally, the
sherwanis worn are off-white. But other colors are also worm nowadays
like black and other darker shades. Sherwanis can be of various types
like the Peshawri and the Baloochi, and are usually embellished with
embroidery and zardozi work. The groom's sherwani is incomplete without
the ghatcholas, flowing kurtas with churidars and jooties or Indian
sandals.
