Mens Sherwani -v- A Penguin Suit

I have an insane passion for Sherwani’s.  It’s not because they look particularly good on me either!

I guess i just love the glitter, the twinkle, the sparkle of the traditional Indian long dress for men.  Yes, a dress for men!

Sherwani’s, in the Western hemisphere, are usually worn on special occasions.   Mostly weddings and festivals, where colour and glamour of the Eastern persuasion is celebrated through dress, dancing and delights.

The ladies have many reasons to accessorise themselves in glitzy clothing (that is; if they even need a reason!).  With their technicolor shalwars, sari’s, head-to-toe jewellery and the many accessories they adorn themselves with on a daily basis.

On the other hand, the Western men require a far more rational excuse to go to such lengths.  Men will choose to wear a sophisticated Sherwani on extremely special occasions.  Such occasions tend to, more often than not, be their own wedding.

Not every man can pull off a “penguin suit”, but in my mind, any man can look awesome in a sherwani  Not only does the mens sherwani reflect the glamour of the occasion, it reflects style, charisma and elegance.  Some men will hunt for a “3-peice by Hugo Boss” at a time like this but a true Asian Groom will re-define his culture and re-energise his roots by plucking for a Sherwani and show the woman of his dreams that he too looks good in silk & gold.

Sherwani coats are tailored to hug the body and drape to the knees with feature-rich heavy or light embroidery in gold, silver or whatever colour you desire.  The detaling of embroidery can be quite intricate and flowery, but with the ever-increasing number of designs available on the market, a perfect match for your size and design will always be waiting somewhere.

There are many styles and fabrics available and if the colour isn’t dictated to you by “your intended”, a vast array of bleak, bland, bizarre is also available amongst the plethora of colours to choose from.

Silk is the number one choice for many grooms due to it’s luxury, easing your movement and is extremely light, allowing your body to breath on that special, yet difficult day.

For a more glamorous appearance, find a Sherwani that comes with ornate embroideries, sequin, zardosi and stone work. You can even find these beautiful wedding clothes decorated with expensive and absolutely ritzy Swarovski crystals.

Complete your wedding Sherwani with the right flowing kurtas with churidars, jodhpurs, ghatcholas, Indian sandals or jooties. It is usually worn with a matching sash or scarf and a turban to complement the attire.

A sherwani is a real must have for your wedding and the key driver of cost for such an emotional choice is:
What are you willing to pay for your perfect match? Value of men sherwanis can appear high, but to look perfect on your special day for you and your Mrs is priceless.

I’d plump for a sherwani everytime.
