Men: 1. **Sherwani**: A traditional and regal outfit, the sherwani is a long coat-like garment, often embellished with intricate embroidery or zari work. It is typically worn over a kurta and paired with a churidar or a slim-fit pant. 2. **Kurta-Pajama**: A classic and comfortable outfit, the kurta-pajama is a simple yet elegant ensemble. The kurta is a loose-fitting shirt, and the pajama is a drawstring trouser, often worn with a dupatta or shawl for added flair. 3. **Bandhgala**: A sophisticated, tailored jacket, the bandhgala features a stand-up collar and is often worn over a kurta or shirt. 4. **Achkan**: Similar to a sherwani but lighter, the achkan is a long, knee-length coat worn with a churidar or straight-cut pants. 5. **Saafa/ Pagdi**: While not clothing in itself, the saafa (turban) or pagdi adds a royal touch to the groom’s or guest's outfit.
