Until recently, floral for men wasn’t preferred as much as colour-blocked ethnic outfits were. Owing its lineage to classic spun Sherwanis, and tuxedos that often don’t turn out well for a great number of Indian men, ethnic styles have slowly but surely transcended to subtle detailing, floral motifs, Chikankari jackets, and the shift has been a breath of fresh air. Indian men have shown some great sense of fashion in these traditional wears.
Now, Indian men don’t just rely on a black pant-suit but have a plethora of options from floral jackets to Bandhgalas, longer jackets, to quirkier prints and the latest trend of Manarkalis. Here are some Kurta with jacket for men #OOTD for inspiration!
Raw-silk Jacket

Silk is a heritage weave that looks classy, owing to its subtle sheen. A neutral kurta and a silk jacket with delicate motifs is a fresh take on the traditional silk ensembles for men. The subtle Aztec self-design running through the jacket reigns on this raw silk Nehru jacket. It can be paired with a pastel or subtle coloured silk kurta and amped with a quirky printed pocket square, a Safa and printed cuffs too.

Who said quirky is casual? Take cues from actor Ranveer Singh’s Mehndi look! He looked fresh and put together in a pastel kurta-pyjama set paired with a floral Nehru jacket. So simple and tasteful, isn’t it? Another great option to take inspiration from, is his pink Nehru jacket with floral motifs. keeping it aesthetic, Sabyasachi's creation is a masterpiece.

Those of us who cannot get enough of blue in their wardrobe, the good news is – the official Pantone colour of the year is Classic Blue! Try experimenting with a mix of darker tones and pastel colours. Go for a plain kurta-pyjama, and colour block it with a deeper hue jacket. We love the subtle look with the Bandhgala from Aviraj Saluja.
Subtle Self-designs in pastel

A self-design running through the jacket with intricate handmade pin-tucks is an offbeat choice for men who love to experiment, with the pastels shades being a cherry on top. Pair it with a silk Safa and a printed cotton kurta that goes perfectly with the summer wedding vibes. Voila, you are ready for the day ceremonies to roll!
