5 HOTTEST TRENDS FOR GROOMS THIS SEASON

5 HOTTEST TRENDS FOR GROOMS THIS SEASON...!!!

An extremely heated summer is on our lap. This is the time when all soon-to-be grooms worry about choosing the correct wedding attire that will not be too flashy, and comfortable as well, which can be tricky. Also, most grooms play safe and go with the typical red, maroon or beige sherwani, or the regular black blazer.

However, this season comes with a bunch of stylish options for a groom who is trendy and traditional, both at once.

So, if you are still deciding on your wedding outfits, we have for you the 5 trends to choose from this season, to look classy and feel comfortable.

1. White is the new black !!

Yes, white is a must-have for men, this season! So, when you are selecting outfits for your pre- or post-wedding functions, or even for your wedding, make sure you have at least one outfit in white. Gone are the days when wearing white was taboo in most Indian weddings. These days, when even brides choose white lehengas , grooms cannot ignore this new trend! In fact, it is now being embraced as the new black for men.

From white sherwanis to crisp white pantsuits, grooms are choosing from a range of silhouettes in white. Not only is white soothing in the sultry heat, but it also gives you many options to play with a little colour here and there. Like, a white bandhgala teamed with coloured Jodhpuris is an extremely fashionable choice for your bachelor’s party or even the sangeet. If you choose to wear white on the main wedding day, make sure it is not over-embellished. Stick to a very subtle and basic, tone on tone (same coloured) embroidery to get a regal look. To make it look even better, you can add little splashes of colour in the stole or the border, or even the buttons or cuff-links.

2. The tie and dye effect !!

Seen on international as well as Indian ramps, two-toned outfits are the new rage for men! This trend has moved from women’s wear into menswear, and is catching on as an extremely ‘summer ready’ trend for grooms. The trick lies in not overdoing it. Stick to basic effects such as red or maroon blending into black, white blending into sky blue, orange or mustard blending into brown, or a simple black into white.

But make sure that you balance the look. For example, if your jacket or kurta is tie and dye, then go for simple, monochrome pants. To add another level of style, you can wear a solid colour jacket or stole with your tie and dye outfit. Mehendi and sangeet are the best functions where you can opt for this style.

3. Play with some candy colours !!

There was a time when candy colours were synonymous with women; but that doesn’t hold true anymore! Candy colours have now infiltrated men’s wardrobe, and how! The soothing and fresh feel that these colours have, has made them a summer must-have. Waistcoats in candy-coloured linens, or even shirts or kurtas in these colours look fantastic at summer weddings.

Choosing from baby pink, coral, peach, sky blue, faded yellow, mint green, etc. would make you look super trendy on your engagement or cocktail party. Team a candy-coloured jacket or waistcoat with a neutral shirt in white or beige, or wear a dark jacket over a bright kurta, and you will look no less than a showstopper!

4. Thread embroidery is in !!

Heavy embellishments are out and silk thread work is in. So, let go of the Swarovski crystals, cut danaand heavy pearl work on your sherwanis this season. Stick to thread embroidery that makes yoursherwani not only lightweight, but also very stylish. Overall thread work on the sherwani with a little zari is a great choice this summer.

Choose the kinkhab fabric (a brocade variety), wherein motifs can be highlighted by thread, or can be stuck to plain fabrics to give a rich or heavy look. Heavily embroidered stole and jootis can add to the style quotient. This can be a perfect choice for the wedding day, or a pre- or post-wedding function.

5. Block-prints for a instant Indo-western twist !!

Although a trend that dates back to many generations, block-printing is making a grand comeback into the men’s wardrobe this season. Block-printing is a great way to give an Indo-western touch to your look. You can wear a block-printed jacket with a pantsuit, and look very stylish.

Wearing anything with block-prints will immediately give an interesting twist to your look. This look can work great for your engagement, bachelor’s night, cocktail party, or any post-wedding gathering.

Be it choosing from traditional Indian block-prints or contemporary soft, candy hues for your wedding wear, these latest trends cannot fail you on your big day. Take your pick and be a real showstopper.
