Choosing a perfect Sherwani for your Body Type
Men’s body types can be of different forms and shapes. Knowing your body shape and its characteristics will help you to decide the type of sherwani that will suit you perfectly. To augment your appearance and create confidence in what you wear, here is what you need to know:
Rectangle body shape
Men with rectangle body shapes have their shoulders, waist, and hip the same width. With this shape, you should aim to widen your shoulders and make the lower body part look narrow. The ideal sherwani option for these men is with structured blazers or jackets. Ensure to have padded shoulders to widen the shoulder and chest part. An embellished work of the neck and shoulder will also help enhance the upper body. You can choose bold print and color or opt for a statement embroidered sherwani to add visual depth.
Triangular body shape
When you have a triangular body shape, then your waist is wider than your shoulders and chest. In this body type, the bottom torso is larger than the upper portion. With this body shape, you should focus on getting a well-tailored sherwani with straight-leg pants or pajamas. Choose a darker sherwani kurta or blazer, such as a classic black sherwani for men, to create a slimming effect. Avoid wearing a garment having horizontal stripes on the upper body portion and tapered bottoms, as it will make the central body part wider.
Trapezoid body shape
This body shape is one of the most desirable types. A trapezoid body shape means broad shoulders and chest with a narrow waist and hips. The good news is, you can choose all types of Sherwani. You can go for light colors such as cream and beige or even a refined white sherwani for men for a timeless wedding look. You can also choose bold designs and heavy materials. Consider wedding dresses for men like the MLS VELVET SHERWANI or the MLS EMBROIDERED SHERWANI. Your day, your choice!
Oval body shape
In this body type, men have an oval or slightly circular middle part. The shoulders and chest are narrow. Make your shoulder more defined. Go for the black color to give more shape to your central part—making a black sherwani for men an excellent option. Be careful in choosing sleeve length. Loosely fitted pants can make your legs appear thinner. Avoid wearing a very heavy kurta or jacket, even if it is heavily embroidered.
Inverted Triangle
An inverted triangle is a body type with broad shoulders and chest with narrow waist and hips, like a trapezoid. But in this body type, the upper part is much wider than the lower. This is also called an athletic body type. You need to create a balance between your top and bottom part with your wedding ensemble. Get a sherwani in a straight-cut design while avoiding puffed shoulders. A subtly embroidered sherwani with a relaxed fit works well to balance proportions.
