If you've been looking for the perfect outfit, this article presents you with 7 contemporary - yet traditional - options from Troob showcasing exquisite handcrafted kurta pajamas and Nehru jackets that elevate luxury menswear.

Wedding Outfit Guide for Brothers of the Bride

Step 1: Start with a Beautiful Traditional Kurta Pajama

As the bride's family member, you should start with the traditional kurta pajama set. A kurta is essentially a long shirt, and the pajama is loose and comfortable pants. Pick a kurta pajama set organized with rich fabrics.  

The best fabrics are silk or velvet. If you want your kurta to look extravagant, look for great hand-embroidered patterns and designs known as embroidery on your kurtas. The embroidery on the kurta pajama set may look extravagant, but since it's handcrafted, it conveys elegance.

And the best part is it is tasteful to the occasion. Your priority when dressing for the event is to look handsome, but not overshadow the groom's appearance, whose wedding it actually is.

Taroob makes designer kurtas with spectacular hand-embroidered motifs that are suitable for all events associated with a wedding, including pheras (the wedding ceremony), mehendi (the henna party), and the wedding day.

Step 2: Add a Special Nehru Jacket to Look Extra Fancy

To further enhance your outfit, a Nehru jacket over your Kurta would be a wise sartorial decision. A Nehru jacket is similar to a vest or waistcoat style (without the collar). It can change the look from more casual to formal and childlike to grown-up. 


You can choose jackets with flower prints, designs inspired by an ancient Indian style called Kalamkari, or jackets made from wool or velvet. These structured jackets will give a more elegant and royal look to the outfit, no matter what.


Taroob's Nehru jackets are known for their traditional embroidery and designs inspired by Mughal Empire (ancient Indian rulers of the subcontinent). These robust and classy jackets would be best worn to fancy events like the reception party and cocktail parties.

Step 3: Try Modern Fusion Clothes for Fun Events

For dancing events like sangeet nights and cocktail parties, modern fusion clothing can be worn. Fusion means a mix of traditional Indian wear with Western styles. For example, that can mean wearing a structured jacket (like a blazer) with fitted pants, or a draped kurta (with flowing fabric) for a more striking outfit. 

The beauty of fusion wear is that there is no formal structure so you can have fun and express your style.

Step 4: Choose Bold Colors Instead of Just Yellow and White

Most people wear mustard yellow and white to Indian weddings, but you can be different and choose deeper, richer colors. Try emerald green (like a precious stone), bright red, maroon (dark red), or navy blue (dark blue). These colors look amazing in wedding photos and are especially good for winter weddings when darker colors feel more appropriate.

Taroob makes kurta pajama sets and jackets in many different colors. You can choose from bright, festival colors that are cheerful and energetic, or royal, dark colors that look sophisticated and classy.

Step 5: Pick Comfortable Fabrics for Long Wedding Days

While mustard yellow and white are typical colors worn to Indian weddings, you can go against the grain and wear unique colors (like darker, richer colors!). Emerald green, bright red, maroon, or navy blue are excellent colors to choose. 


These colors photograph beautifully at weddings, especially in the winter months when darker colors are more appropriate.

Step 5: Pick Comfortable Fabrics for Long Wedding Days

Wedding ceremonies can last many hours, and you'll be walking around, greeting family members and friends, and dancing. This means comfort is super important. 

Choose fabrics that feel good on your skin and let air flow through them. Silk-linen blends are great because they're smooth but breathable. Light-weight wool is also good because it's elegant but not too heavy or hot.

All Taroob clothes are made to be lightweight, comfortable, and luxurious at the same time. This means you can wear them all day during your sister's special wedding without feeling uncomfortable.

Step 6: Add the Perfect Accessories Like a Gentleman

Your outfit is not complete without the right accessories. These are additional items or small things that help you look more polished. 


Choose to wear embroidered juttis or kolhapuris or any other traditional shoes that are in line with your outfit.  Add a subtle stole and a nice watch.  Keep it classy and elegant. Remember, your job is to just look good and support your sister, the bride. What your job is not is being a good distraction as well.

Step 7: Make Your Look Personal and Unique

Each wedding is unique and special, and your outfit should be too.  Ask for custom sizing, which means the clothing or garments that were made will be made to fit your body. Look for handcrafted features and artisan embroidery (designs made by skilled artisans) that feature both your personality and style.   


Taroob offers custom tailoring as well, which means they make clothing for you specifically, and heritage-inspired embroidery connected to Indian history and culture. That way, you can wear a look that is truly yours and a representation of you.
