This father of the bride outfit is among our top picks. The printed Sherwani will suit you very nicely. It will go well with any wedding theme your daughter has picked because of the neutral colour. To add more character to the look, you can style it with a dark coloured dupatta or a shawl in the winter season.

It can be red, green, blue or any colour that matches your wife’s outfit or the theme of the venue decor. If there is a plan to colour coordinate outfits, a shawl is a great way to incorporate it while keeping the rest of the outfit simple.
