1) Breezy Cotton Looks

Sound Indian groom’s outfit trends

Comfort over style is the mantra of 2022 wedding fashion trends. Clearly, fabrics
like rayon, cotton and linen are the best to assure a cozy look if you are someone who
prefers comfort over fashion. To point out, several experiments are ongoing to make
the most fashionable grooms outfits out of these cozy, high-demand fabrics.

When it comes to South Indian weddings, we see a lot of lightweight paper-thin
attires for grooms’ outlooks. Evidently, loose cotton dhoti pants and printed kurta
outfits make the best comfy outfit for pre-wedding functions. Not to mention, a vast
variety of hand-printed materials are available at the market to customize your own
festive looks!

1) Twinning with Bae

Twinning with your bae is never going off the trends anytime soon. Be it the Haldi
ceremony or a smashing Sangeeth night or the actual d-day! every event is perfect to
pair your festive look with your partner. Sticking to the same color palette is the
easiest way to coordinate your South Indian groom’s look with your partner.

At times, couples often go for outfits crafted from the same material. At some other times,
they try to keep the fabric same for uniformity. Significantly, keeping the same color palette
can help you include different design elements that are linked with the legendary South
Indian wedding culture. Authentic jewels and dhoti draping styles are good examples.

2) Royal Blacks

Going all black may sound quite a cliche. Regardless of that, it always manages to top
the best South Indian groom’s outfits, especially in Christian weddings. Often
spotted at engagement parties and after wedding bashes, a full black attire never fails
to steal our glances as it’s quite a showstopper.

From sherwani outfits to classic suit attires, its impossible to mismatch with your
partners looks if you are in a monotone black look. Though full black outfits are
rarely seen in South Indian Hindu wedding rituals, Christian weddings of Kerala and
Chennai have welcomed the style with so much love.

3) Designs of Difference

Who doesn’t love going a little extra with your wedding look!? The latest South
Indian groom’s outfits have been loaded with contemporary futuristic designs. No
matter how traditional or subtle the attire is, the designers are trying their level best to
include something unique and never-seen-before to it. It not only diversifies your
outfit but also makes you feel special on your big day!

We have been observing unique handwoven patterns and statement elements in ethnic
Indian suits, Western formals as well as classic South Indian Mundu-Veshti looks.
Tinted dhotis or mundu, printed silk shirts instead of classic crisp whites are some
great examples for what we have been quoting!

4) Motifs & Prints

South Indian groom’s attires are quite famous for their monotone minimalistic looks.
But how about we mix some masala into those outfits to create something out of your
own ideas? Though we see a lot of prints and motifs in the bridal ensembles, it’s
highly rare that you spot some quirky prints on the groom’s attire no matter how jolly
or underrated the ceremony is!

Going for bold prints can completely change your wedding fashion aesthetics by
bringing some radiant energy into the event. From antique floral motifs to new-gen
abstract versions, we have a variety of options to explore.

5) Velvet Beauty

Outfits with a dash of velvet tend to own a special charm, especially due to their
decades-old legacy and history! South Indian wedding season mostly occurs in
scorching summers of the year. And, choosing a full velvet attire might feel a little
overwhelming to the majority of us. But, how about using it as a design element to
create a classy statement look?

Viral Muslim grooms’ outfits of 2020 come with a dash of velvet in their ethnic
kurta looks. Waistcoats, dupatta or throw, lining and border elements etc are some of
the most commonly found places where we incorporate velvet in South Indian
Muslim and Christian grooms’ looks. Hindu grooms are often spotted wearing these
royal looks for their reception dinners and pre-wedding bashes like Haldi and
Sangeeth.

6) North Indian Roots

We have discussed a handful of ideas that revolve around ethnic kurta-pajama attires
for Indian grooms. As we can see, the vintage wedding fashion trends from the 60s
and 70s are making a string comeback this saeson. And, 2022 viral grooms outfits
are mostly about recreating those attires from decades ago. Hence, we have been
observing a lot of traditional outfit ideas for South Indian grooms. The most
recreated looks include Mughal wedding styles and classic North Indian attires from
the 70s.

In the remodeled vintage styles, kurta-pajama attires with matching dupattas are
paired with traditional jewels and sometimes even a turban. Definitely, the styles from
Northern states have had a great influence on the South Indian grooms-to-be ever
since the wedding fashion industry began to expand. And the current trends in
wedding fashion are sweeping our minds away with the viral Rajput royal ensembles
and Mughal-themed attires!

7) Earthy Tints

A neutral color palette is the signature element of grooms’ fashion in South Indian
weddings. Guess what! It still remains the same in the majority of weddings we
captured. Irrespective of the type of celebration, most South Indian grooms stick to
their earthy neutral colors. Recently, we have been seeing an exchange of this pattern
with the Northern states as well!

Notice the Ranbir-Alia celebrity wedding? Anushka-Virat destination wedding? Yes!
neutral palettes are the new crown bearers in grooms’ fashion choices as per the 2022
wedding season trends! Evidently, the grace and elegance of natural tones are super
soothing and relaxing to our nerves. And it serves us a good break from the vibrant
colors of Indian wedding decor essentials!

8) Classic South Indian Touch

As discussed earlier, the vintage wedding outfits for grooms are making a strong
comeback. And, the official wedding outfit for grooms in Tamil wedding tradition has
never been so popular and attention-stealing! To point out, the outfit consists of a
Mundu (a white cloth piece for dhoti), a crisp white cotton shirt and Veshti ( a small
piece of fabric for adorning shoulders).

The most catchy element of this outfit is defenitely the comfort factor. The shiny
golden Kasavu border of the mundu holds so much grace and elegance and is as
powerful as a multipiece luxe festive wear.

9) Colorful Ethnic Fits

Shirts with brocades and hand-dyed fabrics are slowly getting popular in Kerala.
Instead of choosing the classic white palette, we have been seeing colors that twin as
well as contrast with the bridal attire. And it is indeed a treat to the wedding fashion
enthusiasts! The half sleeve shirts have been switched to long-sleeved colored kurtas
with quirky traditional prints all woven in shiny silk threads. Added to that, we see a
lot of antique patterns from Kanjeevaram fabrics.
