There is something infinite in the color white. The color refuses to be categorized. It sheds off all associations with age. It can work equally well as the color of grandeur or the color of respectability or the color of masculinity. So, it would be wrong to say that if you want to dress royal at your wedding, or any other function, going for white is definitely the safest and perhaps the best color choice you can make. Though a neutral shade, the white sherwani looks royal enough if not more, at a big fat Indian wedding.
Before we delve into the 50 white sherwani looks, it should be noted that we are encompassing in this list all shades that fall under the ‘white category’ – like off white, ivory, cream etc. We will also talk about options in which a white sherwani is used but it is paired with colourful bottom wear or accessories.
