Rewearing our mother's wedding saree is a tradition that has been followed for generations. Women do it for their wedding day or to wear their mother's saree for a special occasion. Sometimes, they upcycle it to give the ensemble a modern touch or to immortalize it. However, few want to do the same with their father's wedding look. However, Niveshi, a digital creator, changed the narrative when she picked the suit her father wore for his wedding day and revamped it for herself.
Woman revamps her father's wedding suit
The video titled ‘While girls are revamping their mother's wedding looks, I wanted to do it with my father's’, begins with pictures from her parent's wedding and then shows how she revamped the outfit for herself and totally slayed it. Niveshi's father wore an oversized brown two-piece suit for the ceremony, reminiscent of the retro styling when baggy silhouettes were quite popular. The ensemble features a sheen element to it, making it a dressier version of the classic men's suit.
To upgrade the two-piece suit, Niveshi kept the oversized length as it was. She tailored the double-breasted coat to fit her frame and pulled the full-length sleeves back to add more edginess. The padding on the shoulders added structure.

The accessories added a feminine touch to the masculine vibe of the two-piece suit.
