There is a huge variety of menswear for every kind of culture in India. All the ethnic menswear is unique in their cultural ways and often easily available in India’s marketplace.  A few examples are Dhoti kurta commonly worn in West Bengal, Jodhpuri suit in Rajasthan; Kurta Pajama usually wore in almost every other culture. Pathani suits are mostly worn by Muslims and people in Delhi. Finally, the Sherwani is commonly wore in weddings in different cultures of India.

Sherwanis are a common choice for South Asian men to wear. They are definitely traditional for Indian men and are richly designed. They are often worn over a kurta and may also be worn with a dhoti or stole. The new generation of Sherwanis also known as the Indo Western Sherwanis are a coat like attire of knee length and body fitted. You have to get proper measurements done to ensure that the Sherwani is flattering to the body.

There are unique ways to wear the Sherwani as they have also been a mark of prestige and nobility for men and are mostly worn by men on formal events and weddings. The work done on Shervanis also differs as they are made with embroidery work to give them a lavish appearance.  There are also brocaded patterns added to them to enhance the decorative appeal.  They can also be simple or printed depending on what you like the most. These Sherwanis can look elegant and luxurious when accompanied by some traditional accessories such as jewelry, dhoti or stoles.

The fabrics used to make these Sherwanis also vary depending on personal preference. The most popular ones are silks, satins and jacquards. Eventually the costs of these sherwanis also depend on the material and the decorations. The method of sequin or embroidery work may also affect the price.

Most of all you need to learn how to take care of them as they are not like your normal casual wear; they need more care. They have to be dry cleaned to preserve any fabric or ornamentation from damage. More pricey Sherwanis, such as the silk ones, cannot be worn in rain without adequate protection and avoid spot damages. They may be ironed to smooth out the wrinkles and finally stored in a way that does not fold the material.
