‘Velvet’ – what comes to your mind when you think of it? It is a tufted fabric, made primarily with silk yarns. Velvet sherwanis is one of the richest styles that can be flaunted by the groom or groomsmen or others during an Indian wedding! Evenly cut threads are equally distributed to make it the softest of fabrics that you will ever put your hands on. The fabric is associated with luxury, class, decadence and style! Often a highly pleasing experience or an extremely soft object is described as “velvety smooth”.
They say, all that a girl needs is simple velvets and basic diamonds! We don’t disagree. But like women, men can also befriend velvets when it comes to luxurious wedding styles!
Though the velvet sherwani is considered the most suitable outfit for the groom in that winter wedding, improvisations in the fashion tech sector are resulting in silk yarn alternatives to create lighter velvet fabrics that can also be worn during the summer. Most importantly, velvet is so rich and luxurious that it neutralizes the need for embellishment, making the solid monotone look come back into the ethnic fashion scenario.
