Apart from the sherwani, the groom can sport a look by trying out for chic tuxedos, embroidered kurta dhoti, kurta pyjama etc. in the Sangeet ceremony.

Sherwanis are very much similar to coats but they are long and are usually worn over a Churidar or kurta. There are indeed various designer Sherwanis like baloochi and peshwari which are most in demand among the Indian grooms. The groom can also very well add on and accessorize his look with a kalangi or kantha. The dresses usually have a close body fit and have a lining which is beneath the sherwani. Some of the wedding sherwanis are designed with outstanding crystals and hand embroidered thread work while the others have some really spectacular mirrors, stones, beads and sequins work which makes them look really beautiful and gorgeous.

At earlier times, the sherwanis usually had hand embroidery whereas with the changing times, the machine embroidery is highly in fashion. Various materials are being used for the making of the dress such as the tussars, crepes, crinkled tissues, woven silk, zardozi etc. To match up with the gorgeous sherwani, one can also buy accessories like a groom tikka or a groom turban.

But today many grooms wants to look different and also chooses colors like off-white, brown, blue, green, grey or cream color.
