Much influenced by movies and Bollywood, the sherwani is a sure style garment for traditional occasions among men.

The length is usually depending on the height of the person. The main component seems to be the long dupatta that again transforms the entire personality.
Marriage times are perfect for achkans and sherwani. Though many people use it as a regular wear, urban trends consider it as exclusive wear. The groom is surely to have a niche personality and the turban completes the ready wears in the shops. Malls, designer lines and shops are full of discounts and new releases during the festive times and special marriage season in India.
Many tailors also offer ready on the spot altering for perfecting the measurement and fit. Plus size sherwanis are also tailored which gives comfort and room for people who usually find it difficult to go for ready made shopping. Sherwani styles are the Chinese collar ones though one can also go for the usual round necked pattern if that is more comfortable. The net odhni can also be replaced with tie and dye patterns in silks.
Cotton sherwanis is perfect to beat the summer heat. Beige or coffee shades would seem comfortable with a red and green bandhni odhni that can be the crinkled pattern. Orange is surely a rage these days but another point to be noted is that the juttis or turban should match the odhni and not go totally contrast. For people who love colors there is style in going for a mauve or light green turban in the traditional pattern and embellishments with brooch and pins.
