This is a silhouette that perhaps only really tall guys will be able to carry off, so take care about that. But looks quite unique!

Dhotis are back in vogue with a bang, and doesn't it look nice with that floral embroidered sherwani?

Instead of the kurta, you can also let the stole steal the limelight in the Mehendi, either draping it differently or getting a unique stole like the ones above! Jacket over Short Kurta

A slight deviation from the classic, this fresh new fusion silhouette is also really catching on, especially for casual functions like the Mehendi. Whether it is a Nehru jacket or a full one, looks good either way! Pastel Embroidered Sherwani

If you're looking to coordinate outfits on the Mehendi, then this subtle powder pink Sherwani with thread work would work very well with any pastel or pink theme for the Mehendi, without looking OTT.

Gone are the days when floral prints were only for women. Floral embroidery or prints totally go with the Mehendi theme, so pick something fun like this one with thread work all over to really stand out in the crowd!

Use a motif you like and block it in different colours - we love how the guys at SVA knew how to keep the motif simple and then add layers to it!
