A Punjabi suit, also known as a salwar suit, a kurta suit is a traditional Punjabi outfit that's gaining popularity in the west. It's essentially a suit and trousers that have been traditionally worn by men in the state of Punjab in India. They're also a great option if you and your groom are both of Indian heritage and want to celebrate that aspect of yourselves. But what about if you're not from India or you and your groom don't want to wear traditional Indian clothes? That's okay, we've got you covered!
What's a Punjabi suit?
The pants of a Punjabi suit are also an essential part of the classic Punjabi suit. They're a pair of loose-fitting, baggy trousers that are often pleated. They can be paired with Punjabi traditional Indian leather shoes, or with Western shoes. Although the pants are usually very baggy, they're still form-fitting enough to slim down the legs and accentuate the wearer's figure.
The Punjabi suit is worn either with a turban or
with a patka, which is a brimmed hat. The turban is worn by men of certain
communities, such as Sikhs, while the patka is traditionally worn by rural
farmers. However, both are commonly seen as wedding accessories.
Best For Indoors
The classic look of a Punjabi suit is best
suited for indoor occasions. It's formal, structured, and will look beautiful
against a neutral background. The Punjabi suit large buttons and embroidery are
really what set this outfit apart.
If you're getting married at a wedding
venue or reception hall, you can easily change into a salwar suit as soon as
you arrive. If you're getting married at a courthouse or another government
building, you should bring a change of clothes so you don't have to wear the
same clothes twice.
Best For Outdoor Weddings
For an outdoor wedding, you can go with a
bit more colour in your salwar suit. Khaki, grey, and beige are great colours to
pair with red, orange, and yellow salwar. These colours will blend well with
both Western and Indian florals.
If you're getting married on the beach, you
can go with a more casual salwar style. Khaki, white, and light-blue salwar are great for outdoor weddings. You can even go with a rash-guard style jacket
if you and your groom both participate in scuba diving.
Complimentary With Western Attire
A western suit is a perfect complement to a salwar suit. It has the same formality as a suit but is worn without a tie.
The salwar and western attire really bring out the best in one another.
The salwar embroidery and large buttons
really stand out when worn with a western suit. And the western suit fits in
nicely with both formal and casual settings.
If you're wearing a salwar to a courthouse
wedding, you can simply change into a western suit once you exit the building.
