“Listen, dude, you must get this safa to match your girl’s lehenga.”
“Bro, you’ll set the night on fire with this tux on.”

“Bhai, yaar ye sherwani dekh. Iska color match kar raha hai bhabhi ke lehenge ke sath.”

If your wedding bells are tolling, you will surely hear these kinds of statements from loved ones and acquaintances. After all, you’ll be embarking on a new journey to begin a new phase of life. All ladke wale want that the groom steals the show. For an Indian groom, it is equally important to be the sparkle of the evening while taking the Million Dollar Walk down the aisle with his bride.

Regardless of the physique, every Indian groom gets cautious of his appearance. Obviously, no man would like to appear like a clown. That’s a key reason why fashion police get super agile during the wedding season. Whether it is an Indian groom or any other groom, a dapper look for the night is staunch. We’ve decided to vouchsafe some details for Indian grooms to look handsome, no, dapper. Read on the tips.

1.Blending With the Bride’s Outfit Color
Hanji, this is a trend that wouldn’t get off the track for at least a millennium. A soft blend of the color of the groom’s outfit with the bride is just AMAZING. Just by taking some cues from your better half, you can make the best (and investment-worthy) decision while selecting the wedding outfit. The biggest advantage will be the memories that you both will cherish. Everything will look perfectly in sync.

2.“Pagg Wala Munda Kehndi Bada Jachda”
In Indian weddings, be it with the trends of Hindu, Sikh, or Islam- Indian grooms always wear their headgear along with a sehra. Without the turban or safa, every Indian groom’s wedding outfit is incomplete. However, one should be careful while selecting the headgear or pagdi. The traditional feather shouldn’t be adorned. It makes a groom look like a magician. The new headgear can be worn like a hat, but make sure it remains comfortable. Such turbans are already embellished with brooches. Never experiment with the headgear; choose to keep it simple.

3. Accessorizing It Right
Gone are the days when Indian grooms wore simple wedding attire decorated with garlands and moved along with the celebratory procession. As per a survey conducted, many wedding planners emphasize accurate accessorizing of the groom. Whatever dress you’ve decided to don for the D-Day, make sure you look sharp. For the Indo-Western attire, the pearl necklace and brooches are dazzling accessories. If you’re in with a tux then embellish your attire with cuff links, bow-tie, and belt matching the color of footwear.

4.Fitting Is Mandatory
Never risk your D-Day attire fitting lightly. Although it will be worn only for One Day, it should be worth wearing at that moment. Ill-fitting sherwani or tuxedos not just look bad, they look pathetic. Hanging cuffs or too tight arms are simply a no-no. Whether you purchase the ready-made wedding attire or get it stitched, assuring its fitting is mandatory. Double-check everything and make sure you have your finalized dress beforehand, say a week before the day arrives.

5.Loafer Liners
What if you wear those regular socks with loafers or jutti? We can’t even imagine the blunder. Moreover, risking the whole look with ankle socks popping out can spoil the look, just a bit of it. So, keeping things intact, an Indian groom must-have loafer liners in the wardrobe. They’re the perfect pair for the evening. The dapper factor for grooms will upsurge if they have loafer liners. The advantage of wearing loafer liners- they act as socks and prevent shoe-biting.

6.Personal Hygiene
Trimmed nails, trimmed/styled beard, an incisive fragrance, facial/face clean up, and threading- make sure you check them on the list and assure your freshness while others (and your bride) gaze at your charm.

Final Words
Right from head to toe, a groom must be well-dressed at his wed

ding. Profess your love for the better half, not just by words but in a way that makes everyone say “Awe, they look so cute together.”
