Wedding Fashion Accessories

So your best friend's getting married, and you've been asked to stand next to him in every photo for the next three days. Cool. Now, what are you actually going to wear, because "whatever's clean" is not a plan. Here are 10+ outfit ideas for groomsmen that are actually trending right now, not the same tired suggestions every wedding blog copies from each other.

1. Pastel Kurta with Contrast Nehru Jacket

This one's everywhere this season, and for good reason. A soft pastel kurta, think sage green, dusty blue, muted lilac, with a darker Nehru jacket on top. It photographs beautifully in daylight functions like the haldi or a daytime mehndi. The contrast between the soft base and the darker jacket keeps it from looking washed out in outdoor light, which is honestly where a lot of pastel outfits fail.

2. Printed Bandhgala

Save this for the dance night. A bandhgala with a subtle geometric or floral print, in a jewel tone like emerald or maroon, gives you main-character energy without trying too hard. The structured collar does a lot of work here, it holds the shape even after hours of dancing, so you still look sharp at 11pm the way you did at 7.
