While heavy lehengas with layers and layers of can-can feel like second skin for most women, sherwanis sometimes tend to feel like an unfamiliar territory to men. Unlike kurtas and even bandhgalas, sherwanis can feel a little too stiff and heavy. Its long silhouette can also make you feel like it’s weighing you down.
For most grooms, the garment translates to an unexplored space, after years of having worn bandhgalas and suits.
