Durga Puja is a celebration where you can spend time with your family and friends checking out the pandals and Goddess Durga’s idols. They make some very creative pandals in West Bengal, I must say! The whole ambience is magical. You should visit Kolkata during this special festival. You will experience something very new and would love it too!
Aristocratic Male
Traditional suits for men Durga Puja 2012 Indian Festival
The royal vibes that would emit from the brocade sherwani you will be wearing for the Ashtami evening will take you a notch higher in style. Narendra Kumar, Shantanu & Nikhil, and Manish Malhotra are all vouching for the baroque look in Indian Menswear. Rich brocades, bandhgalas and dhoti-styled pyjamas are seen across the ramps.
Ways to Wear the Aristocratic Male look:
- Choose a bandhgala brocade kurta in colours like off-white, midnight blue, magenta, ochre yellow, coal grey or maroon
- Well-fitted clothing will see you through the evening looking gallant and stylish
- Pair the kurta with a dhoti-styled pyjamas. There has to be a lot of fabric fro the dhoti pyjama. The crotch will preferrably be lower and will be easy to wear
- Carry an embroidered shawl or men’s stole for that royal aura. Look at the picture above (extreme left). Imtiaz Ali carries off the sherwani really well
- You may choose a pipe-edged kurta where piping will be done at the lapel edges and hem to give a striking look to the garment
- Wear embroidered or velvet Nagra shoes with this look
Tip: You will love the opulent vibes that your look will emit. Gold buttons on the cuffs and front flap will simply up your style quotient by three-folds. Wear that strong attitude and groove the night away!
