fashion - SHERWANI 2.0
Shorter, sharper versions of this traditional attire are being picked up by men in vogue
Sherwanis are back as the tuxedos of Indian weddings.After a flurry of bandhgalas and waistcoats dominat ing the Indian wedding scene, sherwanis are once again the apparel of choice for the groom. The short er and sharper sherwanis, available in psychedelic and floral prints, innovative embroidery patterns, bright colours and quirky accessories are driving the stylish `ghar wapsi' of desi grooms. Fashion designer Rohit Bal says, “Our desi dulhas apart, I'm seeing a lot of foreign-returned boys fascinated by the garment. A lot of young men who have worked or studied abroad are opting for it.“
Designer Rohit Gandhi attributes the growing popularity of sherwanis as an extension of the bandhgala trend. “Just as a bandhgala, a sherwani has also become a must-have garment. With options now to sport it in shorter length, with a Patiala salwar, Jodhpur pants or breeches, men are wearing it for fun and formal functions alike,“ he says.
Among all the detailing and designing innovations, designer Raghavendra Rathore feels it is the fit that's driving this fad. “The achkan which is much shorter than the sherwani, seems to be the outfit in demand this season. These outfits in brocade silks in bright colours are becoming mainstream. They'll be here for a while,“ asserts Rathore.
1. A masculine-styled achkan worn with Jodhpuri pants, accessorised with the right turban, neck jewellery and stylish buttons completes the look. For matching the outfit with your bride, get small accents in the pocket square.

2. Indo-western fitted sherwanis in innovative prints are the ones to go for. These can be worn with fitted pants and look stylish with traditional footwear.

3. Match your accessories with the look of the bride to complement each other. A saafa, belt and shoes can be matched with the colour of the bride's trousseau.You can get embroidery or motifs as well that match the bride's look.

4. A jamawar shawl can light up even the simplest sherwani. Polki or metallic buttons, tone-on-tone embroidery and a bright saafa are very trendy.

5. Keep the sherwani simple and stylish.Nothing beats the charm of a wellstitched cream, beige, off-white or white sherwani. Rather than too much of contrasting heavy embroidery, embellish the look with antique buttons, tie and dye prints, self-embroidered fabrics or customised shoes. Velvet, brocade, cotton and silks are ideal fabrics to go for while the length should be till the knee.Colourful pants are the latest trend.
--Rohit Bal
6. The simplest way to get the look and fit right is to treat the sherwani as an extended bandhgala. Keep the fit straight rather than the traditional flared one.Indian embroidery is the best way to get the opulent, ethnic look.
