A Manifest-approved guide to mastering every look—one celebration at a time.

As the celebrations culminate in the wedding ceremony, tradition takes centre stage. Standing by the groom as he steps into a new chapter, the groomsmen's outfit calls for an ensemble that is timeless, poised, and regal without overwhelming the groom himself. Traditional bandhgalas, finely-structured sherwanis in brocade or raw silk, and achkans with understated zardozi or resham work offer a balance of heritage and refinement. Stick to sophisticated neutrals and jewel tones—ivory, gold, charcoal, ruby, or champagne. The mantra here is graceful grandeur: regal enough to honour the occasion, but effortless enough to carry through long baraat processions, blessings, and ceremonies.

Attention to detail elevates the look further—think well-tailored silhouettes, tonal embroidery, and fabrics that move easily rather than feel stiff. Accessories should be chosen with restraint: a classic safa or turban in a complementary hue, heirloom cufflinks, or a simple brooch can add character without distraction. Footwear, too, matters—polished mojaris or classic juttis in leather or silk ensure comfort while staying true to tradition. When styled thoughtfully, the final look feels dignified, celebratory, and perfectly in sync with the gravity of the moment.
