Make way for the trendy baraatis
Groomsmen! Take style cues from these designer outfits and elevate your wedding guest look.
While the groom is always the highlight of the wedding procession, the groomsmen too have to put their most stylish foot forward and show the wedding attendees that the groom squad is trendier than thou. “The modern-day groomsman wishes to make his silhouette an extension of his personality. He wants to embrace heritage with a dash of avant-garde,” says designer Shantanu Mehra. Break the monotony of predictable tuxedos and bandhgalas by taking inspiration from these menswear looks from couturiers and shining as a wedding guest. “Groomsmen no longer wish to be a spitting image of each other by dressing up like bandwalas; they want to highlight their individuality,” opines designer Kunal Rawal. We curate some edgy menswear looks fit for\ the groomsmen. Have a dekko.
