For the Grooms: Modern & Timeless Looks
Your wedding look matters just as much as the bride's. From choosing the right safa to nailing modern color combinations, I help you create a sharp, confident look that feels authentic to your personal style.
Grooms, your big day look is just as important. A common mistake is choosing a safa that clashes with your sherwani. In this guide, I explain how to select the right safa, whether to go monotone for a classic look or play with contrast, ensuring your entire ensemble is balanced and makes a statement.

About For the Grooms: Modern & Timeless Looks
A common mistake I see is letting your accessories fight for attention with your sherwani. Whether it’s choosing between a monotone or contrast safa, or deciding which color palettes like violet and cream work best for a daytime ceremony, the secret is in the balance. I don't believe in rigid rules; I believe in making sure every detail, from your pocket square to your silhouette, reflects who you actually are.
Refining the Modern Groom’s Look
Being a groom in 2025 means moving past the standard, muscle-fit templates. Fashion is becoming more fluid, and your wedding look should reflect that comfort. My approach to styling focuses on three core pillars: fit, color psychology, and accessory curation.
The Shift in Silhouettes
We are moving away from the era of tight, restrictive fits. Whether you are wearing a bandhgala or a classic sherwani, the fit should offer ease of movement. For modern events, I often suggest looking at relaxed or tailored cuts that feel more contemporary and less like a costume. If you are opting for casual pre-wedding events, swapping joggers for tailored cargo pants or moving from ankle socks to crew socks can immediately update your aesthetic.
Color Theory for Men
Many grooms stick to the safe route of black or navy, but there is so much potential in unexpected pairings. I work with color analysis to ensure your outfit complements your skin tone. Some of my favorite, sophisticated combinations for the upcoming season include:
- Teal and Brown: A rich, earthy pairing that feels grounded and mature.
- Violet and Cream: A bold choice for those who want to stand out during daytime functions.
- Taupe and Brown: A monochromatic, tonal look that is effortlessly sleek.
Coordination is Key
If you have a partner, we don't just style you individually. I specialize in joint color mapping, ensuring your pocket square or safa subtly references the bride's outfit colors without looking like a uniform.
Whether you are based in Pune, Mumbai, or planning from abroad in Dubai, my process involves a detailed digital mood board followed by assisted shopping sessions. We will handle the logistics, from quality control on embroidery to ensuring your accessories—be it watches, brooches, or jewelry—are selected with purpose. Let's make sure you walk out on your big day feeling like yourself, only sharper.
