The Engagement Dress Code for Men

We asked India's ace designer duo, Shyamal & Bhumika, to share their insights on the current engagement dress for men trends, and this is what they have to say:

• Nothing beats a well-fitted sherwani for an Indian engagement; timeless, elegant, and always in style. Right now, I’m loving velvet and silk with subtle embroidery, especially in ivory, beige, or soft pastels. It’s understated luxury at its best.
• A sharp, tailored suit is the way to go if you're going Western. My top picks are Navy, charcoal, and deep green, with a slim-fit silhouette and a well-defined peak or notch lapel. Don’t forget a pocket square or boutonnière; it’s all about the details.
• Nick Jonas nailed it with a dark velvet jacket at a family wedding in India. That mix of classic and contemporary is exactly what works.

Choosing the Right Fabric and Color

Shyamal & Bhumika also shared their expert tips and suggestions on choosing the right fabric and color, along with the ideal accessories to pair with the engagement dress for men. Here's the expert advice that they shared:

Tip: Dressing for the season ensures both comfort and style. For summer, opt for silk or cotton in pastels or neutral tones; they are light, breathable, and effortlessly chic. For winter, choose velvet or brocade in deep hues like maroon, navy, or emerald green; they are warm, regal, and statement-making.

Right Accessories: Accessories play a crucial role in refining the overall aesthetic. Cufflinks, mojaris or juttis are your best bet; a floral boutonnière on your lapel is a subtle yet stylish touch to your outfit.

Formal Engagement Dress for Men

Check out our top suggestions, ff you want a formal engagement dress:

• Safari suits are at the top of the Indian wedding fashion radar. Look dapper in a jet-black bandhgala suit set, tailored to perfection. The look below includes a well-fitted pair of pants and a button-down jacket with pockets. 
• Ditch the monotonous blacks and blues and switch to vibrant shades for your engagement's western formal look. The jacquard woven textured jacket and pants set by Dash and Dot can be paired with a plain shirt, sneakers, or Oxford shoes.
• Designer Varun Chakillam's Japanese polyester khaki shirt in thunder print on brown and black tones comes with well-fitted black pants. All you need is a pair of black patent Oxford shoes.
• Bedazzle in beadwork and shine with a velvet jacket set by Gaurav Gupta. For the evening of the engagement ceremony, followed by cocktails, a black jacket with a peak collar and refracted embroidery will be nothing less than a showstopper.
• To keep up with an ivory wedding theme, suit up in a monochrome tuxedo set for a dapper look at your engagement celebrations. The textured ivory shirt by Sarab Khanijou with a black velvet bowtie paired with an ivory jacket with white pearl and silver beads paired with black tailored trouser pants is one of our absolute favourites.
• Opt for a teal velvet tuxedo set for a winter engagement ceremony, like the Qbik design featured here. The straight teal velvet trousers have been paired with an embroidered shirt and jacket with mechanical artwork embroidery.
• You could also opt for a three-piece suit set for a summer engagement look. The Shantanu & Nikhil crisp white shirt with mandarin collar has been layered with a navy blue sleeveless waistcoat, a pocket square and tailored fitted trousers.
• If you want Mauve for menswear, check out the Rohit Gandhi Rahul Khanna embellished mauve velvet jacket featured below.
• Consider a shimmering jacket set if you are considering a cocktail or after-party for your engagement ceremony. Keeping the trouser pants matte black and the shirt sheer, the focus is on the jacket, which has heavy sequin work in grey-to-black shades to create an ombre look.

Style Tip: Quirk your formal engagement look with smart accessories like lapel pins, wristwatches, and pocket squares. As far as footwear is concerned, you can choose from a variety of derby shoes, loafers, oxfords, chelseas, brogues, and even monk strap shoes to match your outfits. The rule with formals is to keep it simple, subtle, and effortless. You can choose muted to neutral tones when picking the colour palette and limit prints and any embellishment to maintain the simple, formal look.

Indian Traditional Engagement Dress for Men

Want to keep your wardrobe traditional for your engagement day? Check out our top wardrobe suggestions below:

• The teal button-down sherwani set from Aza Fashion will make your engagement look effortless. The delicately woven motifs in similar hues poetically match plain gold dhoti pants.

• If you wish to wear something silver for your engagement dress, pair a silver tissue pattu kurta with a baby-blue dhoti and chunni set. The kurta by Groom2B featured below is decorated with minimal embroidery, and the dhoti and the chunni are decorated with heavy border lacework.
• Adorn an ivory colour-blocked suit to seek the gods' blessings and have them by your side for the auspicious occasion. Paarsh's ensemble includes a full-sleeved Nehru jacket with a delicate hand-embroidered scene of goddess Radha and god Krishna in resham and sequin work. This has been collaborated with an asymmetrical kurta and straight pants.
• You can also go all out in the embroidery department with a heavily embroidered sherwani set for your engagement look. For the groom, a raw silk deep maroon jacket with silver embroidery has been paired with churidar pants—the perfect Manish Malhotra look.
• You can also jazz up a simple dhoti kurta set if it aligns with your personality, with antique gold metal embroidery work across the shoulder and dhoti border. The pleated dhoti and mandarin-collared full-sleeved kurta set by Qbik is decorated with thread and beadwork to create an eclectic style. 
• If Ranveer Singh's fashion personality speaks to you, check out the fiesta tangerine orange kurta set from Abhinav Mishra for your engagement. This tailored-to-fit orange kurta set has been matched with stark rasham and mirror embroidery work in hues of silver and gold.
• You can also look regal and royal in an olive-green Choga kurta set. The inner striped kurta from Torani has been layered with Jeni, a muslin silk Choga jacket with golden Dori, thread, sequin work, and plain churidar pants.

The textured khadi trouser pants and kurta with a bandh gala collar have been teamed with a muted ivory raw silk bandi jacket with tonal thread embroidery and crystal highlights.

Style Tip: Keep it traditional with a pair of Kolhapuri Chappals, Mojaris, Juttis and Sandals to match these Indian attires. If you wish to add extra bling, a pearl necklace, an embellished brooch, gold rings, or gold or stones will be a great match. And for those who prefer minimalism, a Kadha or a watch will be a great match. You can also keep a stole instead of a chunni and pin it around your attire to keep the style intact and hands-free!

• If minimalism is your style, you can opt for that in the embellishment department and adorn a three-piece suit set like the one featured below from Jatin Malik Couture. It includes tapered trousers in red ochre, a plain round-neck kurta with zig-zag pintuck border detailing, and a long shrug jacket with intricate floral zari handwork.
