So, you’re getting married. Exciting, right?

Now, while everyone's busy planning decorations, food, and photography, you’ve got one job - to look your absolute best. And when it comes to Indian weddings, nothing beats the charm of a classic Mens Sherwani.

But let’s be real: picking the right Mens Sherwani? That’s a task. Sherwanis come in all colours, cuts, fabrics, and fits. And with every store claiming theirs is “royal” or “designer,” it gets overwhelming quickly.

How to pick the right Mens Sherwani

No worries. Let’s break it down. Here's how to pick the right Mens Sherwani for your big day without losing your cool (or your money).

• Know Your Style First

Before you step into any store, ask yourself one simple thing — What kind of groom do you want to be?

• Do you want to go traditional and royal, like something you’d see in a historical movie? 

• Are you more into a simple, classy look with soft colours and modern cuts?

Some guys like it full-on embroidered, buttoned all the way up, and with the turban on. Others need something that fits well, looks clean, and is not too flashy.

There is really no right or wrong. But knowing your style will save you tons of time when selecting a Mens Sherwani.

• Think About the Weather

You’re going to wear this outfit for hours — maybe even dance in it. So, let’s not ignore the season.

• Winter weddings: Rich fabrics in velvet or silk are the way to go. Heavy embroidery is absolutely permissible.

• Summer weddings: Lighter is the way to go-cotton-silk, linen blends, or light brocade. Your future self will reward you.

The last thing you want is to sweat through a heavy Mens Sherwani while smiling for group photos in the sun.

• Fit Matters — A Lot

It doesn’t matter how expensive or fancy the sherwani is. If the fit is off, the look is ruined.

What to check:

• Shoulders should sit right — not droop or pull.

• Sleeves should stop at the wrist, not cover half your hand.

• The length should usually be just below the knee.

• You should be able to sit and walk comfortably.

Get it tailored if needed. And always try it on twice — once before buying, and again after alterations.

• Choose the Right Colour

Gone are the days when Mens Sherwani meant only cream or maroon. Today’s grooms wear everything from pastel pinks to deep bottle greens.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Fair skin: Emerald, navy blue, maroon

• Wheatish tone: Cream, rust, gold

• Darker tone: Ivory, wine, deep blue

And hey, you don’t need to match the bride exactly. Just coordinate a little. If she’s wearing red, maybe a hint of red in your dupatta or safa.

• Look at the Details

Sometimes, what makes a sherwani special isn’t the colour or cut — it’s the little things.

Look for:

• Hand embroidery or zardozi work

• Unique buttons or collars

• Neat stitching around the cuffs and hem

• Matching or contrast dupatta (stole)

The right Mens Sherwani doesn’t need to scream for attention. Subtle details speak louder.

• Complete the Look

Once your sherwani is picked, it’s time to finish the look.

Add-ons you can try:

• Turban or safa – Traditional and regal

• Dupatta – Worn over one or both shoulders

• Brooch or kalgi – A small accessory that makes a big difference

• Mojaris or juttis – No sneakers, please!

Don't pile on too much. Pick 2–3 accessories that complement your Mens Sherwani and your personality.

• Buy or Rent?

Not everyone wants to spend ₹30,000+ on an outfit they'll wear once.

So, should you rent?

• Renting is smart if you want a stylish sherwani for one day and don't plan to reuse it.

• Buying makes sense if you want custom fit, unique design, or plan to wear it again.

Many shops in Delhi, Mumbai, and other major cities now offer designer Mens Sherwani rentals too. Just be sure to check the fitting and return policies.

• Try Many, Then Decide

Don’t settle for the first one you try. Visit at least 2–3 shops. Try 5–6 sherwanis. Take your time.

Take someone you trust — a sibling, friend, or even your fiancée. Someone who’ll be honest.

When you find the right Mens Sherwani, you’ll feel it. It won’t just fit your body — it’ll feel right in your gut, too. That’s the one.

Final Thoughts

Your wedding is once-in-a-lifetime. Your sherwani should reflect that — not just in price, but in personality.

So skip the pressure, ditch the trends, and wear what makes you feel like you. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just an outfit — it’s a memory stitched into photos, videos, and hearts.

The perfect Mens Sherwani isn’t about what others say looks good. It’s about what you feel good wearing.
