Indian Formal Clothing Types

While the events are traditionally Indian, guests can wear Western Formal or Indian formal attire. Refer to your RSVP for specific guidance for each event!


For Women:


Lehenga (or Lehenga Choli): A skirt + blouse + scarf (dupatta). Very popular and the easiest to wear formalwear.


Saree (or Sari): A long, elegant pleated and draped fabric worn over a blouse and skirt (great for formal events like the ceremony or reception).


Salwar / Anarkali: A tunic-style top with pants and a scarf. Comfortable and easy to wear.


Indo-Western: Fusion outfits that mix Indian and modern style. Common styles include sharara, gharara, palazzo, and gowns!


For Men:


Kurta Pajama: A long tunic with fitted pants. Simple, comfortable, and perfect for most events.


Nehru Jacket: A vest-style jacket worn over a kurta or even a dress shirt for a semi-formal look.


Jodhpuri Suit: A tailored, structured Indian suit. Think of it as the Indian equivalent of a Western blazer and trousers!


Sherwani: A more formal, structured long coat worn over pants.


Tips

Bright colors are encouraged. Don’t be afraid of color!


Comfortable shoes are a good idea (there may be standing/dancing!).


When in doubt, western formal (dresses, suits, etc.) is always welcome.

Note from the Bride and Groom

You generally don’t need to worry about matching specific outfits to events unless noted. More importantly, with wedding season always in full swing, please feel no pressure to wear something brand new! To whatever extent possible, we'd love for you to come dressed in something you already own and love. We're excited to celebrate with all of you wearing whatever wardrobe staples you feel most confident in.
