Experimental Groom Trends We Spotted on Grooms in 2018
Flared Sherwanis and Kurtas
This Men kurta style that dates back to the Mughal Era became a rage among grooms in 2018 and undoubtedly a much-needed one. Taking groom fashion a notch higher, these flared kurtas were a breath of fresh air and our grooms didn't shy away from donning them. Pairing them with either Nehru jackets or a long bandhgalas, they looked royal and crisp AF! Such kurtas and sherwanis undoubtedly made up for one of the best groom outfits of 2018.
