Styling Tips for Engagement, Reception and Sangeet Outfits

Even the most expensive outfit can lose its impact without the right styling. Following key styling tips ensures your entire look is polished and makes a lasting impression.

Never Compromise Your Fit

One of the most ignored yet important things is a proper fit. An outfit which is too loose may look sloppy. Similarly, a tight kurta or sherwani can leave you uncomfortable. Therefore, you must choose an ensemble which is apt for your body measurements.

Experiment with Colours

The colour options are very limited for the main wedding, like gold, cream, ivory, or red. However, who’s stopping you from donning that Ombre colours, pastel shades or dark colours during Engagement, reception and sangeet? Explore the wedding collection at Mirraw to find that perfect outfit for any of these occasions.

Wear your Accessories

Men’s accessories are equally important to a man’s look just like a bride’s accessories. You can invest in real gold chains, or something quirky like an Emerald necklace, brooches or designer watches. These go perfectly with Indian mens clothing and the vibe of the occasion.

Pay attention to Footwear

The design of the shoes or mojris you are wearing should complement your outfit. They should also be comfortable as you will be dancing and standing around for long hours.
