I think these will look really smart if the bride wears a White Lehnga-Choli (Skirt-Blouse), they are a far more handsome and dignified attire compared to the Flamboyantly-Effeminate and Archaically-Ancient Sherwani.
In other Muslim societies (Arab, Persian, Turk, Afghan) the men wear suits/tuxedos at their weddings like the rest of the world, it’s only us Pakis who still wear the hideously ‘Indianised’ Sherwani accompanied with silly headgear and tinsel.

only john abraham can pull it off:love:
Re: White Tuxedos
I think a white tux with black shirt, silver/white/striped tie looks hot (or a pink and whit estriped shirt with a pink tie) :k: It’s a plus if ur fit (then again anything looks nice when ur fit)..Suit is more of a “valima” type outfit tho…I know alot of guys who wear suits on their wedding but only because they’re taking the more practical route (unlike for bridal lenghas, it’s really quite difficult for a man to re-wear a sherwani and not look like a dork!)
Re: White Tuxedos
oh gross - white tuxes are so 1980's. bleh.
Re: White Tuxedos
Massive, thanks for appreciating.
Shona, the "John Abraham" look is very common in Pak and its neighbouring countries. In Peshawar, Lahore, Tehran and Kabul every second bloke has the "John Abaraham" look (probably because John Abraham is of Iranian descent) just like in India every second man looks like Mithun Chokroborti or Ajay Devgan.
Sara, cool suggestions, pink tie sounds nice and I think tie/trimming colors on the suit can be correlated with the brides dress/lehnga if she wears a colored one. You're right about the Sherwani being impractical and wasteful, in addition to that it's ugly (zari, glitter and tinsel just don't go on a man). Fit or not I think any man would suit a tuxedo better than a Sherwani and the ridiculous headgear (traditional Sherwanis are not so bad, it's these Bollywood Indianised ones which look gay).
Somegroovychick, lols, lots of people say I have 80's tastes (I listen to Mariah Carey and Nazia Hassan!!!), my parents have a lot of 80's movies and watching them I always thought white suits looked really regal.. They're actually coming back in though, my Persian friends' relative recently got married and he wore a white suit.
Re: White Tuxedos
i like sherwani's i think there cute, i don't think there ugly or ancient when done right men can look really smart in a sharwani, and yup i know a lot of guys who wore sharwani for there weddings and suits/tuxes for their valimas.
Re: White Tuxedos
No Ramsha, Sherwanis look gay.
Pakistanis need to start moving away from this "Indian-centric" culture to a universal 'cosmopolitan' one like the rest of the world.
Re: White Tuxedos
ok well she has her opinion, you have yours- no need to flame other people's choices.
Re: White Tuxedos
Personally im not mad keen on the whole white tux thing...i couldnt imagine my hubz eva wearing one of them. Im glad he wore a dark coloured suit.
Re: White Tuxedos
the suit is a more valima thing as the guy looks smart and is supposed to look more ermm kinda grown up and mature and smart .
i think sherwanis only look nice when they are nicely fitted , by that i mean some men wear sherwanis ten timez bigger in them and tend to look stupid . when the sherwani is fitted and smart it gives a neat and nice look.
however dont like white tuxes , they wud just clash with all the desi get up of the wedding :)
Re: White Tuxedos
the all white tuxedo and the white bridal gown is a bit too much WHITE! however i do like some of them with a little color thrown in.
another option for the sherwani, is the indian style suit...i think its called jhodpuri or sumthing...u can do it modern but it has a desi touch
Re: White Tuxedos
I don't like Jodhpuri, it looks worse than Sherwani, especially when they wear their red/orange funny shaped turbans with them.
A lot of Paki men only wear suit on the Walimah but I think they should wear it on the Nikaah/Rukhsati day too.
Paki weddings are more of a clown circus than a wedding, completely overdone, they need to sober up a little.
Re: White Tuxedos
err white on white just looks nasty.
Re: White Tuxedos
I think the white tux/suit is coming back in too, people wear the white one day and then a darker suit the next…maybe something like this pic below…
Re: White Tuxedos
shervanis r not gay.
Re: White Tuxedos
i dont know but for some particular reason i like the groom wearing sherwani's it looks more traditional ...still would white do any justice to red or maroons ....
Re: White Tuxedos
White tuxedos can be very classy if worn properly. I am not a fan of white sherwanis … black with embroidery looks much nicer. :love:

confuzzled that is a bit harsh , how shud pak weddings sober up , be like gora weddings ? where every bride is the twin of each other n u cudnt tell her apart if she wasnt wearin dt white dress . also all bridesmaid are dressed identically n same for all the men.
i think pak weddings r fab it is a happy day and everyone gets dressed according to the occasion . sobering them up would totally loose the flavour of our pak weddings.
however i agree everyone hs deyre own opinion bt i love pakistani weddings .. so much fun !! :)
