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.
