The
recent years have seen the limelight of wedding
fashion focus on Asian menswear and so the
choice of wedding attire for Asian men is no longer
limited to Armani and Versace suits. Indeed more
and more Asian men are dumping the suit and tie
combination in favour of the chic Asian menswear.
Gone
are the days when Asian menswear was limited
to a shapeless kurta pyjama which said nothing about
the groom's personal style. Today, in the era of
ethnic designers, Asian menswear has taken
on a more glamorous avatar and on offer is an impressive
range of sherwanis, nehru suits and kurta pyjamas
to suit all tastes and personalities. So if you
are getting married, it is time to indulge in some
serious ethnic styling.
If
you are not familiar with the world of Asian
menswear, read on to find out what is on offer.
Asian
Wedding Sherwanis
The
sherwani is a long coat-like garment with a Nehru
collar with buttons all the way down to the front.
It is usually worn with well fitted "churidar"
trousers in contrasting colours and is accompanied
by a long scarf or shawl draped over one or both
the shoulders.
The
sherwani signifies the rich traditional fashion
style of India and Pakistan and is the favourite
choice for a wedding outfit for men. It is a perfect
blend of the best of eastern and western styling
and is available in many colours and varying degrees
of embroidery. You can take your pick from the minimal
to gaudy, depending on your personal sense of style.
Nehru
Suits
A
Nehru suit or Jodhpuri suit is a perfect blend of
Western cuts and Indian embroidery. It is very similar
to the western suit except that it has a short jacket
and Nehru collar. Many Jodhpuri suits come with
waistcoats, which are carefully coordinated to complement
the outfit. The suit can be worn with a shirt underneath
in a matching or contrasting colour or even a round-necked
close fitting top. Like sherwanis, Jodhpuri suits
are also designed using varying degrees of embroidery
from gaudy to minimal.
Kurta
Pyjamas
Kurta
pyjamas trace their roots to North India and Pakistan
but now commonly worn all over the sub continent.
They are long tunics of knee length worn over trousers
in a matching or contrasting colour. They are usually
complemented by a long scarf in contrasting colours,
draped over one or both the shoulders. The pyjamas
or the trousers also come in varying styles, the
most common being the churidar, a very tight trouser
that is cut longer in length than required with
excess cuffing at the bottom.
The
kurta can also be teemed with a dhoti, a very long
piece of cloth, wound around and in between the
legs.
