Let’s face it: wedding receptions are no longer just about showing up, shaking a leg, and grabbing dessert. It’s a stage where style speaks louder than ever. 

Did you know that men’s ethnic fashion is one of the fastest-growing segments in India’s fashion industry? The reception dress for men isn’t just about tradition anymore; it’s about making a statement. 

And today, we’re diving into seven outfits that promise to bring the perfect blend of elegance and edge to your reception wardrobe.

1. Kurta Sets: 

Ah, the evergreen kurta set—simple yet so versatile! But here’s the twist: opt for a kurta with intricate embroidery or asymmetrical cuts paired with slim-fit trousers or churidars. Add a pair of embroidered mojris, and you’re ready to charm every guest.

When I attended my cousin’s reception last year, I wore a pastel kurta with a floral motif, and the compliments kept coming! The secret? The balance between understated elegance and eye-catching details.

2. Bandhgala: 

There’s something inherently regal about a bandhgala jacket. Whether you choose velvet for a winter wedding or linen for a summer soiree, this look spells sophistication. Pair it with tapered trousers and loafers for a modern vibe.

One of my friends nailed this look by opting for a midnight blue velvet bandhgala at his reception. The attention it garnered? Priceless. He joked it was the outfit’s fault he couldn’t sit quietly for a minute without someone pulling him into a photo!

3. Nehru Jackets: 

A Nehru jacket is perfect for men who believe less is more. Layer it over a kurta set for an effortlessly stylish reception outfit for men. Pick one in brocade, raw silk, or even jacquard to elevate your ensemble.

At a friend’s beachside reception, I spotted a guest wearing a mint-green Nehru jacket over a white kurta-pajama set. It looked comfortable, breezy, and stylish. Plus, the pockets came in handy for him for stashing those mithai.

4. Dushala: 

A dushala (shawl) is more than just a layer; it’s a statement. Draping a finely embroidered dushala over your kurta or bandhgala can take your reception look from simple to stunning. Opt for one with Kashmiri embroidery or intricate zari work.

I still remember borrowing my dad’s vintage dushala for a friend’s wedding. It felt like carrying a piece of family heritage on my shoulders, and the compliments? Oh, they were endless.

5. Stoles: 

If a dushala feels too grand, a stole is its younger, funkier cousin. Choose a lightweight silk or velvet stole to drape stylishly around your shoulders or tuck into your bandhgala. It adds a touch of flair without overwhelming your look.

A few months ago, I paired a deep maroon stole with a cream kurta set for a day celebration, and it was the perfect accessory to tie the look together. Subtle but striking!

Taroob’s stoles are designed to bring out the trendsetter in you.

6. Jackets:

Fusion jackets with bold prints or intricate embroidery can be a game-changer. They strike the perfect balance between contemporary style and traditional charm. Pair one with a plain kurta-pajama or trousers for a statement-making look.

I once spotted a friend at a wedding in a black jacket with gold threadwork—a perfect mix of dapper and daring. Trust me, his photos are still circulating in our group chats as ‘outfit goals.’

7. Long Coats: 

Long coats exude grandeur and sophistication. Whether it’s a sherwani-style coat or an Indo-Western piece, these are perfect for winter receptions. Choose one with intricate embroidery or velvet fabric for a royal finish.

My brother’s reception outfit was a wine-colored long coat with minimal gold embroidery. He looked like he walked straight out of a royal portrait, and the family album photos? Chef’s kiss.
