Wedding season is here, and if you’re the groom (or shopping for one), you’ve probably already been asked this question a hundred times — “Bhai, kya pehenega shaadi mein?”
The truth is, groom fashion in 2026 has changed quite a bit. It’s no longer only about heavy, over-embellished sherwanis. Today’s grooms want to look royal, but also comfortable and stylish at the same time.
Here’s what’s actually working this year.
1. Classic Sherwani Still Rules (But With a Twist)
Sherwani is still the number one choice for most Indian grooms, especially for the main wedding function. But the style has become cleaner.
Instead of very heavy work all over, grooms are preferring:
- Subtle embroidery
- Rich fabrics like raw silk, velvet, and textured silk
- Better fitting (not too loose, not too tight)
Maroon, bottle green, ivory, and deep navy are looking really good this season.
2. Indo-Western Is Growing Fast
Many grooms, especially younger ones, are choosing Indo-Western outfits for the reception or sangeet.
Why? Because it’s stylish, lighter, and feels more modern. A well-fitted Indo-Western with a waistcoat can look extremely sharp without the weight of a full sherwani.
3. Jodhpuri Suits Are Making a Strong Comeback
Quietly, Jodhpuri suits have become a favourite for many grooms who want something different from the regular sherwani. They give a royal yet structured look and work very well for both day and evening functions.
4. Colour Trends for 2026
This year, these colours are standing out:
- Deep Maroon
- Emerald Green
- Ivory & Gold
- Navy Blue
- Soft Pastels (for daytime functions)
Black is also being worn more boldly now, especially for evening receptions.
5. Comfort Is No Longer Optional
Earlier, grooms used to suffer in heavy outfits for hours. That’s changing. Grooms are now asking for lighter fabrics and better breathability — especially for destination weddings and long functions.
Final Advice:
Don’t just follow trends blindly. Choose an outfit that suits your body type, the wedding venue, and your personal style. A well-fitted, good quality outfit will always look better than something heavy but poorly made.
