“It’s always nice to wear something traditional for the wedding. Suits and tuxedos can be kept for the cocktail and reception. If you are attending a day wedding, pick something in pastels. Fabrics like chanderi, silk and satin will flatter your look. Don’t forget to layer the look with a matching jacket, bundi or even a shawl to exude that stylish appeal,” suggests stylist Vikram Seth.

Men shouldn’t be afraid to experiment with bold prints, florals and even heavily embellished outfits while attending wedding festivities. “We see a lot of men pushing the fashion boundaries and wearing striking designer ensembles which otherwise won’t fit in the conventional style of dressing up. However a crisp white kurta and pyjama set can also leave the onlookers spellbound if you style it neatly with a fitted black bundi and pair of classic oxford shoes and a pair of sunglasses to round off the look,” suggests designer Siddhartha Bansal.
