Sherwani, for men’s wedding, has evolved over the years and has been incorporated with several contemporary designing techniques. Whether it is a unique silhouette or a distinct kind of print or embroidery, a wide variety of sherwani designs are available now that you can pick as the groom-to-be or just as the guest attending someone else’s wedding. 

We have curated a list of contemporary sherwani styles with different silhouettes and prints that you should bookmark to stand out. 

The Printed Sherwani 

Heavily embroidered sherwanis have ruled men’s ethnic fashion for several years. However, as elegant and classy as they might look, embroidered sherwani is unsuitable for every occasion. On the other hand, a printed sherwani is not just an alternative to traditional style but is also very fashionable, lightweight and versatile. This Trish Sherwani from ace designer Anita Dongre’s collection is an ideal pick that can be worn at weddings as well as other festive occasions. The sage of the sherwani is offset by bold red prints, and it can be worn over a kurta pyjama set. 

The Bandhgala Style Sherwani

The Bandhgala style sherwani is a traditional Indian garment which has been created as per contemporary tastes. It features a high collar and a buttoned-up front. This sherwani is often paired with a pair of well-tailored trousers. Take inspiration from this navy blue bandhgala featuring tone-on-tone embroidery. This sophisticated style can be worn on numerous occasions, and paired with various accessories to create a unique and personalised look.

The Nehru Jacket Style Sherwani

The Nehru jacket-style sherwani is a modern take on the traditional sherwani. It is named after the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was known for wearing a similar style of jacket. This sleek sherwani usually features a mandarin collar and a buttoned-up front. Depending on the fabric and pattern of the jacket, you can style it for both formal and casual occasions. This blush pink jacket created in silk Benarsi brocade is timeless and can be worn over a contrasting or matching kurta set. 

The Hand-Painted Sherwani

As your partner picks the latest designer lehengas for distinct occasions, it is only fitting that you match up to her style, and a hand-painted sherwani is just the right pick for it. This sherwani style looks effortlessly sophisticated on whichever occasion you choose to wear it. This white Chandran Sherwani from Indian designer Anita Dongre’s collection is an exemplary garment featuring traditional pichhwai hand-painting. The sleek silhouette is further accentuated by detailed embroidery. 

The Indo-Western Style Sherwani

The Indo-Western style sherwani is the perfect fusion and it features a shorter length coat with a Western-style collar, often paired with a pair of chinos or jeans. This sherwani is perfect for casual occasions, and it can be dressed up or down depending on the event. This green sherwani resembles a suit but at the same time has several traditional features such as metallic prints.
