35 Sherwani that Prove Floral is Masculine

Few years ago grooms or other men in a traditional function could only be seen in solid color kurtas or at most off-white sherwanis. But today, Indian men proudly flaunt something as experimental as the floral sherwani. And if you are thinking that floral and masculine are two contradictory concepts, the floral sherwanis you are about to see will definitely change your mind!

When it comes to fashion and personal style, there are always two broad kinds of people – those who stick to classics and those who like to experiment. Men’s fashion has been dominated by ‘the classic’ code throughout centuries. Colors like white, black, grey, navy and the like are considered to be more masculine than others.

Moreover, single toned monochromatic looks are all time favourites with men. Men usually don’t like to wear shades and prints stereotypes as feminine. Men wear big floral prints only while they are holidaying on the sea beach and how many men have you seen in a bright pink attire?

Though these rules still apply, especially in case of formal wear, in some smaller arenas of fashion they are being bent a bit, allowing the incorporation of newer elements! Take for example the case of Indian ethnic wear for men! Though this is a very small sector of men’s fashion, it has served as fertile soil for the seeds of many new ideas in the past few years.

From experimental cuts like the Jodhpur bottom wear to use of jackets like achkans and Nehru waistcoats; from the inclusion of traditional art forms like zardozi, gota patti etc to using floral motifs on attires – men’s ethnic fashion has come a long way.
