When the holiday or wedding season arrives, we get to see an influx of style and trends in the making. If you are someone who loves to keep up with the changing trends, you need to seek some styling tips from the leading Bollywood celebrities.
These days, men have a lot of options to choose from, especially in traditional wear. If you have a number of traditional events coming up, make sure you keep up with the latest styles by putting your best foot forward. From ethnic to Indo-Western to going back to the basics, make sure whatever you choose, wear it with swag.
If this festive season will see you wearing a lot of kurtas and suits, we suggest you amp it up a little by changing your bottoms. Trousers and pyjamas are not the only bottom wear that you have to wear. There are several options to choose from, but the best one remains a dhoti. A dhoti is an evergreen men’s fashion wear that can be paired with a couple of tops this festive and wedding season.
We have a couple of styles up our sleeves, which means you will not feel basic wearing dhoti pants on a festive occasion. So, let’s take a look at a few different ways to wear dhotis.
- Pair it with a kurta: To keep your look simple in a traditional outfit, you can pair a dhoti with a simple matching kurta. If you are attending a puja, you can opt for a low-key look, such as pairing a white dhoti pant with a matching plain kurta. You can choose to wear cotton here to keep your look easy and breezy.
- Layer your look: If you think wearing a simple white kurta and pyjama is boring, amp up your style with layering. A nice long, colourful jacket, maybe adorned with mirror work, will be an ideal look for your festive occasion.
- Nehru jacket: A longline jacket isn’t the only way for you to style your dhoti pants with. You can also wear a Nehru jacket over your kurta and dhoti pants, which will give you the best style this wedding season. A pocket square is the best and most minimal way to accessorise your look.
- Suit up: When Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother told us to “suit up”, he literally meant it. Take his words seriously because the suit style is here to stay. If you want to really bring your A-game to any festive occasion, you need to own up to your look. The best yet most offbeat way to style your navy or indigo-coloured dhoti would be to pair it with a nice solid black long kurta and layer it with a matching blazer. You can keep the buttons open for a suave look.
- Wear the right footwear: These ethnic looks will require you to wear either mojaris or juttis or even loafers if you bed to differ. You can even stick to the classic Kolhapuri chappals if you want to rock a comfortable look.
With so many ways to style a dhoti, we bet you will create a bang-on impression on the ladies at any traditional event.
