Traditional Indian clothes have always been a charm, haven’t they? Their demureness, the fineness of the lines, the colour and the sparkle as well as the modesty – Indian tradition, be it any corner of the country that it spans, never fails to amaze. Bandhgalas are one such type of traditional Indian garment that are gradually gaining acceptance and love from all corners of the world.
Bandhgala suit is a type of Indian men’s clothing, which has its roots deep in the land of the kings – Rajasthan. The bandhgala suit can be best described as a band-collared jacket that is usually worn by men on formal and festive occasions. The bandhgala is symbolic of masculine perfection and timelessness, for it adds a very smart, appealing look to the wearer.
It cannot be denied however, that western styles have taken over the native Indian men’s clothing, and especially so when it comes to traditional items like the bandhgala suit. Perhaps people find it difficult to style the bandhgala in a way that it seems fit for all occasions, but we do have some tips for that.
- The one with the Bandhgala
The factor that can make or break one’s bandhgala suit look is definitely what you choose for the bottoms. Who says a bandhgala is fit only as an Indian men’s clothing for weddings and not a red-carpet look at Cannes? The key lies in the pairing – Jodhpur bottoms and breeches, dhotis and pyjamas and even a tone of the west with slim fit or harem pants. Also, the variety of footwear that you could rock the look with is also harmonious to the occasion and vibe – Kolhapuris, tan boots, formal shoes and even Oxford shoes!
- Know the fabric for the occasion
There is no doubting the fact that textures, colours and surprises can add tons to your look in a bandhgala. Indian men’s clothing does come in a variety of textures – silk, velvet, satin, crepe or georgette. The decision is yours to make. If it is a festive and formal occasion you are looking to work it out at, do go for more sleekness in your look with softer smoother textures. Else, if the occasion is semi-formal, or anywhere closer to a party than a festivity, a body-hugging light-weight plain texture would work wonders.
- Black, black and some more black
This is one tip a fashion-lover can never stop talking about – the black magic. Black and Bandhgala suits are a pair made in heaven. The bandhgala suit can be complimented with a lighter colour bottom and our minds are seeing white. A simple broach and a contagious smile and lo! The best Indian men’s clothing feels complete and serene.
