What to wear this wedding season - by Rezwan Islam

Don’t we eagerly await for the announcement of the wedding season every year! A rather short-lived season filled with series of events, dance, masti and mouth-watering food has always been our most favorites. Months of preparation and planning we put into a single wedding, especially when it comes to selecting appropriate outfits. Every time a wedding bell rings, we rummage through our wardrobe looking for that perfect outfit. Unlike ladies having a plethora of choices to glam up and flaunt; we the gentlemen rather struggle finding appropriate outfits to make some impression and turn those heads around at the wedding occasions. Keeping it as simple and elegant as possible, we are here to guide you through to select the best outfits to wear for every occasion in this upcoming wedding season.

Shagun/Roka/Tilak
Wear a well-tailored, simple, yet classy silk or linen kurta with straight or tapered legs trousers, or churidaar. Jazz it up with a well fitted ethnic half jacket or half-sleeved Nehru jacket or a full sleeved Nehru Jacket. Wear a nice pair of leather shoes or sandals.


Brunch/Bachelor Party/After Party
Tailored separates work best for such occasion. If it’s a outdoor event, keep it simple, but elegant. Wear a pair of beige or white trousers with a crisp white, baby pink, lilac, powder blue or pale yellow slim fit shirt. Throw in a tailored made linen, silk linen, bamboo blazer in shades of solid or check. You can opt for double breast, wide peak lapel blazer to make a 2019 fashion statement.
