The traditional Indian wear for men, sherwani signifies elegance and style. The Sherwani is the most
traditional of Indian garments. It is a close fitting jacket like garment, of knee length or longer,
and has a opening in front with button fastenings, a Nehru collar. They are usually teamed with tight
fitting churidar and Jodhpurs, which are a combination of churidars and trousers in a contrasting color.
With a khes or long scarf or a shawl draped over one or both of the shoulders. Sherwanis look really
regal and elegant because they fuse the best of eastern and western styling. They are the perfect
attire for the wedding and also the reception party. They are available in a staggering variety of
colours with varying degrees of embroidery from minimal to absolutely gaudy - whatever suits your
style of dressing!
Sherwani is a typical attire of the North Indian and Punjabi weddings. Sherwani is a long coat,
buttoned up in front with Nehru collars. The sherwani looks good on tall and well-built people.
Traditionally, the sherwanis worn are off-white. But other colors are also worm nowadays like
black and other darker shades. Sherwanis can be of various types like the Peshawri and the
Baloochi, and are usually embellished with embroidery and zardozi work. The groom's sherwani
is incomplete without the ghatcholas, flowing kurtas with churidars and jooties or Indian
sandals.
