Trendy Indian Ethnic Wear for Men: Must-Try Festive Looks of 2025
When it comes to celebrations, there is nothing more elegant and traditional than ethnic wear for men. India has a colorful cultural heritage and unique modern fashion sensibilities that made festive clothing evolve beautifully. Sanwara, transforms traditional techniques into modern looks offering collections that will allow you to turn heads at each and every event. The collection of Indian ethnic wear for men will ensure that you are dressed flawlessly, whether it is for weddings, Diwali parties and gatherings, or festive celebrations.
Now that we are well into 2025, let’s review some of the latest festive trends in men’s ethnic wear and styles you simply cannot live without this season.
1. The Classic Kurta for Men – Timeless Yet Trendy
Men have always relied on kurtas for festivals and special occasions. What is exciting about 2025 is the new ideas that a designer will bring to this timeless piece of clothing. We expect you will see pastel shades, earthy tones, and the slight embroidery that brings versatility to kurtas for day and evening wear. At Sanwara, we have an engaging selection of kurtas in breathable fabrics, such as cotton and linen for casual cool, and silk blends for festival drape and drama. Style them with churidar or straight pants for your new smart-casual wear.
2. Men’s Kurta Pajama – Perfect for Every Celebration
A men's kurta pajama set is an essential part of any festive wardrobe. The easy duo of kurta and pajama has taken an evolution of the traditional format the previous years while staying true to loose-fitting cut and paired bottom half. The kurta pajama sets can range from highly embroidered kurtas with contrasting pajama bottoms or kurta pajama sets with minimalist styles, where men's kurta pajama sets are an essential component of a festive wardrobe. In 2025 men will still be transitioning their inner layers using a variety of attire. There will be an increasing number of slits and cuts of kurta styles that will allow for the kurta to be paired with pants, denim, or even jacketing for a modern transition. Our offering at Sanwara, as always, will leave you feeling festive, while keeping you rooted in your desired traditional and trendy styles.
3. Sherwanis – The Regal Choice
For all things grand, there is nothing quite like a sherwani. Whether it's for weddings, engagement celebrations or any kind of festival where you want to make the biggest splash, sherwanis are where it is at. This season, layered with embroidery and zari, with rich jewel tones, layered sherwanis are trending. At Sanwara, we create sherwanis that combine a royal aesthetic, with a contemporary fit, so you can feel just as majestic, as you feel comfortable. And don't forget to complete your look with churidar, dhoti pants, or even Jodhpuri trousers.
4. Nehru Jackets – Effortless Layering
Nehru jackets are stylish accessories that add a unique flair to your festive look. They can be worn with kurta pajamas, or just a basic shirt and trouser. Textured fabrics, printed jackets, and understated embellishment will be particularly in vogue in 2025. At Sanwara, our Nehru jackets offer you the potential to elevate even the simplest kurta into a very stylish offering, which undoubtedly is a necessary part of your ethnic wardrobe.
5. Fusion and Contemporary Ethnic Wear
Fusion fashion is on the rise in Indian ethnic wear for men in 2023. Designers are putting their own spin on traditionally-constructed looks via draping, asymmetric hemlines and cuts that take an overall traditional look and present it in a more contemporary fashion. This can be seen in kutas, hybrid design construction and Indo-western combinations where jackets are styled with trousers. The Sanwara range infuses elements of modernity into the collection as the designer still finds and embraces its traditional roots. It is an exciting opportunity to play with fashion whilst still remaining part of that culture reference point.
6. Fabrics and Colors in 2025
Festive fashion this year brings together style and comfort together, with flattering, fun and flattering lightweight fabrics too. The trend is lightweight fabrics like linen, cotton-silk blends, and jacquards. What are the colours? Earthy colours like sage green, rust, beige and terracotta are sprouting up, while the evening market is very much dominated by jewel colours like emerald, royal blue, and maroon. Our newest collection at Sanwara captures this moment for you, with the finest lightweight fabrics and better colours!
7. Accessorizing Your Ethnic Look
The right accessories are essential to achieve an adorable festive outfit. From embroidered mojaris to stylish stoles or pocket squares, accessories complete your ethnic look. Put a pair of juttis along with your kurta pajama, or style your sherwani with a statement brooch. At Sanwara we strive to put complete looks together so you never have to worry about a detail!
