Wedding Sherwani trends for 2019

We have all seen Virat Kohli do it and then even M.S Dhoni did it along with some international cricketers. No, we are not talking about some one-day cricket test match. We are talking about how these sought after Indian cricket players who are celebrities in their own rights have been flaunting ethnic wear as the garment to wear when the occasion is an Indian wedding. The very first word that crosses your mind when we say men and Indian wedding is Sherwani. Royal and elegant, the Sherwani has rightfully earned its place among the list of ethno-cool looks for men.

Indian men with their good height and broad shoulders can carry a dhoti kurta, a kurta pajama, and a Sherwani really well. But, this traditional couture has also gone through its metamorphosis phase where the traditional look of it has been fused with a western one. This has given it a completely different look from when it was made in the style of Nawabs. Let’s see what trends are going to rule the fashion circuit in 2019 when it comes to Sherwani.

• Keep it short– This season is going to see Sherwani that is not too long like it traditionally is but knee length. This length makes it look trendy and adds to the comfort of the groom during the wedding festivities. If you are the groom’s friend sporting the Sherwani, the length is just right for you to shake a leg easily in the baraat.

• Brocade and Banarsi are here to stay– The Sherwani adds another level of regal touch to it when crafted in Banarsi Jamawar. Brocade in dark hues has made a comeback in a big way not only in women’s bridal attire but it has taken over the men’s ethnic collection as well.

• We love the velvet, yet again– Velvet Sherwanis with colored pants are as trendy as it can get, giving you the fusion look.

• The color palette– The hues that are going to dominate the Sherwani this year include maroon, burgundy, navy blue, graphite, charcoal black, dark brown and beige, according to Manish Malhotra, the leading fashion designer of India.

• Embroidery is what is trending– Right from intricate Jaal work to Resham work, embroidery depicting floral and bird motifs is what the fashion gurus are swearing by this wedding season. Leave the all over embellishments and sequins this year for your bride’s ensemble. If you really are an embellishment fan, add a thin line of it around the collar but not on the rest of the Sherwani.

• Dhoti Kurta sherwani trio– A look made popular by Manish Malhotra, this one pairs the traditional plain dhoti-kurta combo with an embroidered open Sherwani.

• The cuts and hemlines– Asymmetrical is the new symmetry for this year with high low hemlines and collars ruling the charts at most fashion weeks.

• Despair not the Nehru jacket and the Bandhgala lovers– Nehru Jacket and Bandhgala are evergreen trends that are going to stay in for a long time to come. The only difference here being the addition of mirror work on the collar and the choice of fabric being from silk or brocade.

• Twinning with the bride is so in– This trend will work for you if both you and your bride decide to go the printed way. You can have the wedding Sherwani and the bridal lehenga matched in printed fabric and garner those likes when you post your twinning pictures on social media.

• The pairing– You can pair your Sherwani with a churidar or jodhpuris which are evergreen choices. Looking for what’s trending? Go in for a dhoti salwaar if you feel confident about carrying this look with confidence.
