1: Sherwani

Sherwani is one of the best and most traditional dresses for the groom as it not only gives him a unique look but also increases his features. Sherwani contains a streamlined crown that increases its beauty. It also has a stylish neckband. A simple kameez is usually worn under the sherwani.

The sherwani also contains decent yet attractive embroidery on mostly the chest portion. It is usually used with churidar pajama and a traditional khusa. Sometimes, the groom also wears a shawl draped over his single or both the shoulders.

Sherwani is mostly worn by the Pakistani grooms on the first day of wedding that is the baraat. And now we have a large variety in sherwanis including different colors, mostly embroidery matching to bride’s dress. One can find very stulish Sherwani houses in Pakistan.

4: Some Tips and Suggestions

The grooms may select his wedding dresses in collaboration with the bride as it will give them both an attractive look. For instance, if your bride is wearing a red lahnga on her first day of wedding then you may go for an off white or golden sherwani with maroon kulla and embroidery. Black sherwani also looks elegant with red.

Secondly, the grooms should also concentrate on the color of the wedding dress as dark or bright colors do not look good on men so it’s better to choose lighter shades of brown, grey etc.
