What you wear at your wedding is of utmost importance not because of the obvious reason that it is your big day and an important occasion, but for the simple reason that it will stay with you forever. All your life you will have to deal with the documented evidence of all the sartorial choices that you make on this day, in the form of numerous pictures, videos, blogs, vlogs, social media posts of your family and friends. And that should be reason enough to motivate you to look your best!
Make sure you choose the right clothes and silhouettes that flatter your physique. Fashion designers say that this wedding season, the formidable suit is all but gone and in its place grooms will be seen in a much softer, casual look that brings forth the real personality, without the pretense of the formal, no-nonsense stiff wedding wear.
Cooler is the buzzword with rolled up sleeves, looser tie knots and and overall relaxed look that can withstand Mumbai’s heat and humidity.
Tips a groom must follow
Ace the cool look – A perfectly-groomed beard or a silk turban or a specially designed haircut can notch up your cool quotient.
Let your clothes spell grandeur – Intricate hand embroidery, embossed brocades, pintucks, expensive fabrics spell grandeur.
God is in the details – Little details can literally make your look, so do not ignore accessories. The perfect pocket square, the matched-to-your-ensemble watch, the head gear that adds to your outfit, the shoes (mojris, oxfords, cap-toe shoes) etc all can add to your overall appeal.
Stay perfectly groomed – A few visits to a professional salon, two-three months in advance, will make sure you are perfectly groomed for the big day.
Stand out of the crowd – The shawl collar single-breasted dinner jacket in black or midnight blue is a classic and will never go out of style. Avoid flap pockets and belts and go for a cummerbund.
