Introduction
The Indian wedding season of 2025–26 is set to redefine men’s ethnic fashion with a refreshing mix of heritage craftsmanship, global influences, and modern minimalism. From bold sherwanis to sustainable fabrics, the trends are shifting in a way that bridges tradition and contemporary elegance.
At EDWAN by Rushab Khandelwal, we’ve been closely tracking these fashion changes to help men make confident style choices for weddings, sangeets, and festive occasions.
1. Bold Colours with Modern Undertones
While pastels ruled the 2022–24 seasons, 2025 brings deep jewel tones like emerald green, midnight blue, wine, and maroon — balanced with modern neutrals like beige and ivory.
- Ideal for evening receptions and grand weddings.
- Perfect for Indo-Western jackets and bandhgalas.
2. Minimalist Sherwanis with Statement Accessories
The modern groom is leaning towards lightweight sherwanis with clean cuts, ditching heavy embroidery for subtle textures. What elevates the look? Accessories: layered malas, stoles with zari borders, and handcrafted footwear.
3. Fusion Wear Takes Center Stage
The line between ethnic and western wear is blurring. Expect to see kurtas styled with blazers, bandhgalas paired with trousers, and asymmetric Indo-Western cuts at cocktail events.
-Office-to-wedding versatility makes this trend big for 2025.
-Urban grooms are embracing “one outfit, multiple occasions” styling.
4. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Fabrics
With growing awareness, eco-conscious fabrics like linen, organic cotton, and handloom silks are becoming a must-have. Grooms are choosing brands that emphasize sustainability and artisan support.
5. Personalization and Bespoke Tailoring
Custom embroidery, initials woven into stoles, and personalized design elements are dominating 2025–26 weddings. Men want their ethnic wear to reflect individuality while staying rooted in tradition.
6. Accessories & Grooming to Match the Outfit
From embroidered juttis to bejeweled brooches and grooming routines designed for weddings, men are going beyond just clothing. A polished look now includes hair styling, beard care, and fragrance pairings.
