Dapper and Desi: Fashion Tips for Grooms to Slay Their Wedding Look
When it comes to weddings, the spotlight is usually on the bride—but hey, that doesn’t mean the groom can’t steal a few glances too! Today’s grooms are not afraid to experiment with fashion, mix tradition with trends, and bring their unique flair to wedding outfits.
So if you're a groom-to-be or helping someone get ready for the big day, here are some top fashion tips to make sure you look nothing less than royal!
1. Choose the Right Outfit for the Right Ceremony
Weddings are not just one-day events anymore. From mehendi to sangeet, haldi to the big day, each function calls for a different vibe.
● Mehendi: Keep it light and breezy with a pastel kurta and Nehru jacket.
● Haldi: Go for something simple like a yellow kurta-pyjama or dhoti-kurta.
● Sangeet: Go bold with Indo-western fusion or embroidered jackets.
● Wedding Day: A sherwani, bandhgala, or regal achkan with a dupatta and stole will never fail.
● Reception: A well-fitted tuxedo or designer suit is a classy way to end the celebrations.
2. Focus on Fit Over Flash
No matter how expensive or designer your outfit is, if it doesn't fit well, it won’t look great. Get your outfits tailored to your body type. Structured shoulders, proper sleeve length, and trousers that don’t bunch up are musts for a sharp look.
3. Play with Colors (But Wisely)
Gone are the days when grooms stuck to beige and maroon. Don’t be afraid to try:
● Pastels like mint green, peach, powder blue
● Bold colors like emerald, wine, and navy
● Metallic tones like gold and silver—but in moderation!
Just make sure your color complements your bride’s outfit and the overall wedding theme.
4. Accessorize Like a King
Accessories can make or break your groom look. Think of:
● Safa/pagdi with brooch or feather
● Dupatta or stole with embroidery
● Kalgi (turban ornament)
● Statement neckpiece (haar) or layered pearls
● Mojaris or juttis with detail
● A brooch or pocket square for the reception suit
5. Groom Your Grooming
Looking good isn’t just about clothes—it’s also about self-care!
● Get a haircut a week before the wedding.
● Don’t skip skincare: cleanse, moisturize, and try a facial.
● Beard or clean-shaven? Make the choice early and maintain it.
● Ensure nails are trimmed and clean—yes, they do get noticed!
6. Coordinate But Don't Copy
Matching your outfit with the bride’s is cute, but don't become her twin. Instead, pick complementary shades or use a similar accent color in your dupatta, safa, or pocket square.
Final Word:
Remember, confidence is the best outfit. Wear your look with pride, own the stage, and walk like a king. This is your day too, and with the right styling, you’ll be just as unforgettable as your bride.
