Give a Try to the Royal Outfit – Bandhgala Suits

The Bandhgala Suit is a classic formal menswear in India. Over the time, it has evolved into a mainstream festive wear. Even today, you will find almost every guy comfortably putting it on when he is out for a wedding.

A Bandhgala suit is nothing but a formal Indian evening suit. Since, it originated from the state of Jodhpur, some people even address it as a Jodhpuri suit. The set includes a blazer and a pair of matching or contrast trousers. This formal wear can have long sleeves or even be sleeveless. The sleeveless form was favourite wear of our former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, hence it is at times also referred to as a Nehru Jacket.

While choosing a Bandhgala Suit, there are several things you should consider like:

• Choose the right fabric – For special occasions, you can go for rich fabrics like velvet, silk brocades and for semi-formal occasions choose finer silks, crepe, cotton silk,georgette and satin.

• Try the ever gorgeous color – Black has always been the favourite of most people irrespective of whatever outfit it is. When it comes to Bandhgala, black has always been a hit. For the best look try pairing it up with a white shirt, a polka-dotted pocket square and Chelsea boots or black oxfords.

• Pair it up well – In the winters, go for a velvetBandhgalain rich colours like royal navy or burgundy. Dark colours lend a rich look. Pair these rich colours with light-colouredJodhpuri trousers, solid coloured pocket squares and a pair of black Chelsea boots or tan oxfords.
