This is not your traditional wedding wardrobe. The groom of 2025 is confident, expressive, and unapologetically himself, a man who understands that his wedding ensemble is more than fabric; it’s storytelling, personality, and heritage stitched together.
“The groom of today is no longer afraid to express himself,” says Sarab Khanijou. “He wants his wedding ensemble to tell a story—of heritage, of confidence, and of timeless craft. He’s dressing for a moment that reflects who he truly is, not just for convention.”
Structured bandhgalas in velvet and zari embroidery in shades of wine, emerald, and ivory define the Modern Maharaja look, while tonal layering ensures a seamless transition from mehndi to cocktail events. Fusion tuxedos with hand-embroidered lapels, ivory sherwanis with subtle metallic threads, and kurta sets paired with cropped jackets reflect a balance between regal tradition and contemporary sophistication. Rich textures like velvet, silk, and metallic embroidery dominate, while intricate zardozi, resham, and aari work give each ensemble a luxurious artisanal feel.
“The groom thrives in a fast-paced world yet remains deeply connected to his roots,” explains Keshav Gupta of JORAH Men. “Every piece is bold yet graceful, modern yet timeless. The wardrobe is designed to make a man feel confident in his individuality while honoring tradition.” This translates into versatile wardrobe choices: open jackets, contemporary sherwanis, and embroidered tuxedos that work for intimate ceremonies as well as grand celebrations. Minimal separates for smaller gatherings are paired with statement ensembles for the main event, reflecting a groom who curates his look with intention.
Embroidered bombers, layered kurtas, and printed jackets are emerging as fresh alternatives to conventional festive wear. “FANAH is not just a collection—it’s a feeling,” shares Mahima Arjun. “Each piece reflects a journey of presence, emotion, and truth. It’s soft yet structured, light yet meaningful—a memory you can wear.” Vibrant prints, tonal layering, and unexpected silhouettes are giving grooms the freedom to embrace individuality, whether it’s a mehndi sundowner, sangeet, or cocktail soirée.
Colour palettes are bolder than ever: deep jewel tones like emerald, royal blue, and wine dominate, often contrasted with soft ivories or muted metallics for a sophisticated edge. Mixing textures is a key trend—think velvet bandhgalas with silk lapels or metallic threadwork paired with tonal layering. Accessories are also making a statement: embroidered stoles, hand-crafted buttons, and brooches or cufflinks with symbolic details allow grooms to personalize every aspect of their look.
His wardrobe is curated, intentional, and expressive. Every stitch, print, and layer tells a story of individuality and confidence. From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, he is no longer in the background; he is the hero of his own sartorial narrative, blending heritage, craft, and contemporary elegance in every thread.
