Q + A

Where to Buy Indian Attire

PSSST! If you're looking for clarity on the dress code, check out <a href="https://www.theknot.com/us/shaila-gupta-and-chris-duzan-jul-2025/q-a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Q&amp;A tab.</a>

We're excited that you want to wear Indian attire to the wedding! Here's some guidance on what to look for: Men: festive kurta-pajama, sherawani, or Jodhpuri/bandhgala suitWomen: lehenga, anarkali, gharara, or churidar kurti. Please note that a saree can be difficult to style and manage if you’re not used to wearing one, so we encourage you to explore other options. We want everyone to enjoy the day without worries! Most of the websites below have attire for all genders and offer both fusion and traditional Indian options. If you have questions, send Shaila an email shailagupta@icloud.com.
