1. Jodhpuri Suit

Even though you are not required to show up in traditional attire, you can pick something classy like a suit. Whether you are looking for something which is unique, consider a jodhpuri suit, a blend of an ethnic suit, and a classic western suit.

2. Classic Western 3-piece Suit

Just like a Jodhpuri suit, another look that you can try on is the western 3 piece suit. Look your best in a formal look, and it doesn’t matter whether it is traditional or fusion.

A 3 piece suit is, by and large, the safest choice yet ultimate in style, but at the same time doesn’t call for a lot of attention. To accentuate your suit, complete the look with a pair of nice-looking formal shoes.

3. The Classic Black Suit

An Indian wedding suit that you can never go wrong with, which exudes elegance and style. Pair it up with a well-tailored and solid-colored (probably white) shirt.

You can choose to complete the ensemble with or without a bow tie, formal scarf, or a slim tie, and you’re good to go!
