Men’s Ethnic Wear Looks That Steal the Spotlight This Navratri

Navratri is more than just a festival; it is a hallmark of culture, unity, and tradition. While it is common to have emphasis placed on the women and their lovely lehengas and sarees, what does men's ethnic wear look like? It is also evolving into an arena of styling and statement. Since it is Navratri season, it is the time to talk about clothing with a classic, yet modern consideration to ease into your festive wardrobe that still respects tradition.

At Sanwara, we feel that Navratri is the quintessential time for men to be comfortable in their ethnic clothing that reflects time honor tradition, culture and charm. Each night is a luxurious opportunity to flaunt a different facet of your style; whether it be dancing the night away at dandiya, or attending puja with family. The right outfit makes all the difference.

Let us look at what festive traditional wear trends for men will be taking the limelight this Navratri with Sanwara

1. The Classic Kurta for Men

Kurtas for men have stood the test of time and are sophisticated, versatile and festive-ready. From a casual evening out to a wedding, kurtas come in a variety of fabrics — breathable cotton, classy silk and trendy linen. This Navratri, you can step out in festive colors like mustard yellow, emerald green or royal blue. Pair your kurta with a churidar, straight pants, or even denim for a fusion-styled look. At Sanwara, our embroidered kurtas with detailed threadwork or mirror embellishments will ensure you look dapper while staying true to tradition.

2. Men’s Kurta Pajama – Effortless Festive Dressing

The kurta pajama is a classic festive outfit you can rely on. It's comfortable, stylish, and a perfect fit for an evening of revelry and dancing. 

At Sanwara, we have embraced pastel shades and earthy hues this season, as they lend themselves nicely both to a daytime puja and an evening of garba. You can add a touch of elegance to your kurta pajama by pairing it with a silk stole or dupatta. It's the easiest way to elevate an outfit from basic to festive chic and a timeless choice in men’s ethnic wear.

3. Nehru Jackets – Elevating Every Outfit

No ethnic style is complete without the elegance of a Nehru jacket. With these layering jackets, you can always upgrade any kurta pajama combo instantly!

You can also choose the Nehru jacket with a print or textured pattern for a fun festive flair or you can go royal with a plain silk Nehru jacket. Finally, going with a cream kurta pajama to pair a deep maroon Nehru jacket is an effective way to go with a powerful touch.

At Sanwara, we provide you with multiple styles of the versatile Nehru jacket so you can continue to re-style them beyond Navratri for weddings, office party gatherings & semi-formal parties.

4. Sherwanis – Making a Grand Statement

When it comes to elegance, the sherwani is the ultimate piece in Men’s ethnic wear. Once only worn to weddings, sherwanis have made their way into festive wear, as well. 

At Sanwara, our sherwanis are made of silk, brocade, and finely made embroidery, and are a statement piece. They are perfect for the big garba nights, or for the celebrations on the last day. Pair a sherwani with a pair of mojris or juttis for royal charm. If you prefer lighter weight, our modern day sherwanis feel regal, but yet don't overdo the weight.

5. Accessorizing Men’s Traditional Wear

Accessories are the perfect finishing element to festive wear. They're understated, but they can add impact to your outfit in no time.

•      A watch or bracelet with a touch of elegance for modernity.

•      Mojris or embroidered juttis to complete the look.

•      Pocket squares, brooches or a turban, to finish off your outfit with a personal touch.

At Sanwara, we believe that while you can definitely wear accessories with your ethnic outfit, try to think of them as complementary and additive to your overall look, not something that needs to overpower it.

6. Balancing Tradition with Modernity

Festive attire does not strictly have to be traditional. At Sanwara, we commend taking a risk in an Indo-western option, such as an asymmetrical kurta or a fusion jacket that merges modern shapes and traditional textiles.

The great thing about Navratri, is that you have nine nights of fashion experimenting! From light weight cotton kurtas to exciting kurta pajamas to complete sherwanis, you can wear a whole range of men's festive fashion.
