How to Follow the Dress Code for Wedding Guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to know what kind of wedding you’re going to before you pick out your clothes.  What kind of Hindu wedding is it? Either the wedding day or a pre-wedding celebration like mehendi or sangeet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Why it’s best to wear traditional clothes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 Many customs are used in Indian weddings.  It might not look good to wear jeans or western suits.  Wearing traditional men clothes<\/a> shows that you care about the culture and helps you fit in with the fun.  You’ll also feel like you have a bigger role in the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Style of Kurta Pajama<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 The kurta Pajama<\/a> is one of the most stylish and comfy clothes for men.  People wear it with either straight or churidar pants.  For casual events, a kurta made of cotton or linen works best.  For wedding events, wear a jacket or skirt with a silk or embroidered shirt.  Complete the look with mojaris or juttis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 The Royal Touch of Sherwanis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For dinner party and the big day, sherwanis <\/a>are the best choice.  People wear these long coats over a kurta and churidar.  You can get sherwanis in silk, satin, brocade, and clothing with a lot of stitching.  They make you look powerful and are great for close family members of the bride or groom.  For a full look, wear your sherwani with a stole and shoes that match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Add a modern touch to your Nehru jackets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 Put on a Nehru jacket over a kurta pajama for a classic look that isn’t too heavy.  This short, made jacket makes you look smart and classy.  It’s good for young people who want to keep things easy but stylish.  Pick bright colors for events during the day and darker colors for events at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Chic Achkan Look<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 Though it fits better and is lighter, an Achkan is similar to a sherwani. For events like parties and drink nights, it looks best.  An open front and a Mandarin collar make it look nice.  It looks good with both churidars and slim pants.  North Indian weddings use this style a lot, and it looks great on tall guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Indian suits that make you feel royal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 This suit is a mix of Indian and western styles.  It comes with a coat and pants.  It looks official and old-fashioned at the same time.  You could wear it to a lunch or an engagement party.  To improve your look, add a pocket square or pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Wear a Dhoti Kurta to Make a Traditional Statement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 One of the oldest Indian clothes is the dhoti shirt.  A lot of people wear it, but not everyone does. It has a lot of traditional value.  These days, ready-made dhotis make this style simple and up-to-date.  The clothes in this post will help you look great at a South Indian or Bengali wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Pathani Suit for a Tough Look<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 Pathani clothes are a mix of styles from North India and Pakistan.  The shirt on them is straight, and the kam pants go with it.  These clothes make you look strong and manly.  Pick dark colors like navy blue, red, or black.  You can wear them to social events like mehendi or haldi before the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Clothes That Really Matter<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 What you wear is very important for both ease and style.  Pick linen, cotton, or light silk for a summer wedding.  Choose satin, brocade, or tapestry for winter or evening events.  Make sure the fabric is right for the weather and the level of seriousness of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Colours that go with the event<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 Every color is important at an Indian wedding.  Don’t be afraid to wear bright colors.  Pick soft colors like cream or light pink for the day.  You can choose deep blue, red, green, or gold for events at night.  People often think that wearing white or black on the main wedding day is bad luck, so don’t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Tips on How to Accessorize Right<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 Accessories can make an outfit look even better.  For royal style, wear a safa or crown.  When worn with a stole or scarf, sherwanis and kurtas look chic.  Put on shoes from your culture, like mojaris or juttis.  Remember to take care of yourself, because that’s the last part of a happy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Customized vs. Ready-Made Clothes<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 It’s easy to buy clothes that are already made, but clothes that are customized fit better and are more comfortable.  Get your clothes sewn if you have time before the wedding.  It always looks better and more stylish when something fits well.  Many shops, both online and off, now also make ethnic clothing to fit you perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 How to Shop for the First Time<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

 Don’t buy Indian native clothes from just any store. Instead, go to one that you know you can trust.  Try on a few different styles to find the best fit for you.  Get help from someone in the shop or a friend.  Don’t go over your limit, but don’t skimp on quality either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In conclusion, dress to party.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Going to an Indian wedding is a happy event.  If you want to wear a kurta pajama, sherwani, or Nehru jacket, you should be proud of it and feel good about yourself.  You can pick comfort, style, and history all at the same time.  Dress in a way that makes you feel like you’re a part of the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
