Let’s be real, the bride gets all the attention when it comes to wedding looks. Everybody is there to see what she is going to be wearing. And that’s mostly because Indian men, for the most part, like to keep things classic, and more often than not, predictable. However, there is that one percent of grooms that come from the Ranveer-Singh-school-of-style. The kind of groom who likes to take the roads less taken. These men will wear brooches on their shoes, two ties together, and handwritten letters as pocket squares! If you are a groom-to-be who falls in the latter category, we’ve put together our suggestions for the coolest shoes you can invest in for your wedding festivities, so you don’t have to resort to the boring kind of shoes most grooms end up wearing (sorry, not sorry!).
If you’re the kind of groom who is too cool for a traditional kurta-and-mojari look, we might have something for you. This super cool hybrid shoe from Kunal Rawal is a cross between a mojari and a sneaker! We would suggest wearing it with an oversized draped kurta and a pair of statement sunnies for a haldi (cool grooms only)!
When it comes to dress shoes (or shoes, in general), there is nothing more elegant and sophisticated than the oxford shoe. Every man should own at least one great pair of oxford shoes. However, if you’re a groom who’s looking for something more statement than the classic oxford shoe, we would suggest this one from Berluti. It comes with little scribblings of Berluti's signature Scritto motif.
Or, you can opt for this beautiful tan oxford shoe from Jimmy Choo that comes engraved with vines with roses, and an ombre effect on the tip of the shoe. It looks beautiful, sleek, and super elegant!
If you want to swap your traditional derbies with something more playful, we suggest this fun shoe from Bottega Veneta that comes with an exaggerated angular point-toe shape. It’s quirky, unexpected, and super dramatic.
Dress shoes with little decorative perforations, brogues are a great pick if you want something more fun than oxford shoes or derbies, but something more formal than loafers. If you want to give your classic brogues a fun twist this wedding season, we would suggest this pair from Banjaaran Studio, that comes with a beautiful floral print.
Loafer fans, if you’re looking for a fun variation of the shoe, we would totally suggest this pair from Christian Louboutin that comes with holes of different sizes all over its surface. How interesting is that! We would suggest styling it with a cool tuxedo for a cocktail.
Grooms, another great shoe to invest in if you wish to upgrade your loafer game, is a Tabi loafer from Maison Margiela. It’s classic, but not really. We would suggest this one!
