    all you needed for that cocktail party glam!The Brand

    We are two functions down, grooms, but here comes the real glam time. While Haldi and Mehendi required a minimal shine cocktail demands that you go all out. The cocktail evening marks a shift from ritual to revelry. Think modern glamour—sleek, sculpted, and unapologetically chic. Retire your pastels and drapes for razor-sharp tailoring: midnight tuxedos, velvet blazers in burgundy or ink-blue, double-breasted jackets, or even classic black done with impeccable structure. This is the night to accessorise with intention: a standout watch, a jewelled lapel pin, cufflinks that signal quiet sophistication, immaculate grooming, and polished shoes. Remember, the magic is in the details. As a groomsman, you set the tone—you’re not just a part of the party, you help kickstart it.

    Cocktail dressing is also where personality steps out from behind tradition and takes centre stage. This is the hour to play with texture—velvet against satin, matte wool paired with a subtle sheen, soft drapes offset by structured shoulders. Midnight blues, inky blacks, deep burgundies and charcoal greys dominate the palette, but it’s the unexpected detail that does the talking: a sculpted cuff, a hint of embroidery catching the light, or a flash of metal hardware peeking from beneath a sleeve. The look should feel intentional, effortless, and quietly commanding.


    So, what you should remember is that cocktail style is about confidence. It’s the ease with which you move through the room, the way your outfit complements rather than competes with your presence. Whether you lean toward classic tailoring with a modern twist or embrace contemporary silhouettes with bold proportions, the goal remains the same: to look composed, elevated, and unmistakably yourself. As the night deepens and the mood shifts, cocktail dressing ensures you remain perfectly in step with the rhythm of the evening—refined, magnetic, and ready for what comes next.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
