Ideal for various wedding ceremonies, from sangeets to receptions, this style of sherwanis offers a vibrant array of colours and patterns, allowing grooms to express their unique personality while honouring cultural heritage.
As fashion trends evolve, this guide delves into the latest styles and inspirations in mirror work sherwanis, helping grooms choose the perfect ensemble for their big day with confidence and flair.
The Rise of Mirror Work Sherwanis in Fashion
Once upon a time, shisha work was the domain of women's lehengas and cholis. But in the last few years, this centuries-old craft has found a new canvas: the mirror sherwani. Designers have been experimenting with incorporating glass work into sherwani for groom, creating pieces that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. And grooms have been quick to embrace this trend, realising the style potential of a mirror work sherwani.
Why Mirror Work Sherwani is a Must-Have
So, what makes a shisha work sherwani such a must-have for the fashion-forward groom? For one, it's a sure-fire way to stand out. In a sea of plain and basic sherwanis, a shisha work one is a beacon of style. It's also a great way to add some personality to your wedding look. Whether you opt for a subtle touch of glass work or go all-out with an intricately embellished piece, a mirror sherwani allows you to express your unique style.
But it isn't just a pretty face. The unique embroidered ensemble is also a testament to the rich craftsmanship of Indian artisans. Each tiny mirror is painstakingly hand-crafted, creating a piece that's as much a work of art as it is a garment. By wearing a mirror sherwani, you're not just making a fashion statement - you're also supporting and celebrating Indian crafts.
Top Mirror Work Sherwani Designs for the Modern Groom
Take a look at some of the most popular shisha/mirror work sherwani trends of current times.
Classic Shisha Work Sherwani
For the groom who wants a timeless look with a twist, the classic shisha work sherwani is a perfect choice. This style features a traditional sherwani silhouette with mirror work embellishments on the chest, shoulders, and sleeves. The shisha work is usually tone-on-tone, blending seamlessly with the sherwani's base colour.
This Cream Sherwani Jacket Set with Mirror Work is a stunning example of this style. The cream base colour is elegant and understated, while the glass work adds just the right amount of sparkle. Pair it with a matching churidar and a regal safa for a look that's fit for a king.
Contemporary Mirror Sherwani
For the groom who wants to push the style envelope, the contemporary mirror sherwani is the way to go. This style plays with unconventional colours, patterns, and placements of shisha work. A midnight blue sherwani with silver shisha work, or a maroon one with gold mirrors form an abstract pattern which is a great choice for a sangeet or cocktail night.
The key to pulling off a contemporary glass work sherwani is to keep the rest of your look relatively simple. Let the sherwani be the star of the show, and pair it with a sleek churidar and minimalist accessories.
