THE MODERN RISE OF INDO-WESTERN FOR MEN
Until a few years ago, Indian men's clothing existed at two extremes—deeply traditional or entirely Western. But walk into any sangeet in Mumbai or a reception in London today, and you'll notice that fusion has taken charge. And right at the centre is the Indo-Western dress for men—a category that blends finesse with familiarity.
It's not just about blending aesthetics. It's about shape, structure, and sentiment. Imagine a sharply tailored jacket in Japanese silk layered over a draped kurta or an asymmetrical sherwani finished with metallic threads. These aren't hybrids. They're modern classics.
They're Indo-Western, built for men who want tradition without repetition.
WHAT MAKES INDO-WESTERN OUTFITS STAND OUT?
Indo-Western outfits for men are built on the foundation of duality. Picture a Bandhgala jacket with metallic buttons worn over a cowl-draped kurta. Or a structured asymmetrical sherwani layered on trousers instead of churidars. These aren't just fusion; they're carefully curated ensembles that reflect craftsmanship and comfort.
At Bharat Reshma, we've refined this fusion through details you don't see elsewhere:
- Indo-Western suits with angular cuts
- Indo-Western kurtas paired with Bandhgalas or open jackets
- Suits crafted from Japanese blends with Indian lapel work
- Hand-embroidered layers inspired by Mughal and modern art forms
These aren't samples. They're part of our studio collection—built in small batches and styled with precision.
SIGNATURE INDO-WESTERN STYLES FROM BHARAT RESHMA
INDO-WESTERN SHERWANIS FOR GROOMS
Made for receptions under chandeliers and destination vows under palm trees, our Indo-Western sherwani line delivers structure with surface drama. Expect pleats, panel embroidery, and one-off pieces featuring siroski beadwork—many of which require over 100 hours to finish.
DRAPED KURTAS & JACKET SETS
Perfect for Mehendis and evening sangeets, these Indo-Western kurta for men come in breezy fabrics—Tussar, cotton-silk, and pastel jacquards. Designed to allow movement and ease, the asymmetry in the cut gives shape without stiffness.
INDO-WESTERN SUITS & STRUCTURED ENSEMBLES
For black-tie weddings and art gallery openings alike, these Indo-Western suits blend formality with cultural recall. Picture slim trousers paired with longline jackets, or impeccably tailored jacket-only ensembles crafted from Japanese crepe. Those with a taste for craft use them for Diwali parties in Delhi. Others have worn them in Florence.
CELEBRITY EDIT: EMRAAN HASHMI X BHARAT RESHMA
Wearing a black zigzag-cut jacket detailed with muted siroski and an olive Tussar kurta set, Emraan's appearance in our Indo-Western collection for men drew praise from many connoisseurs. The outfit was produced only once, never repeated.
OCCASIONS PERFECT FOR INDO-WESTERN STYLING
WEDDINGS & RECEPTIONS
Whether you're the groom or just on the guest list, a structured Indo-Western dress for men gives you poise. We recommend charcoal jackets with embroidered cuffs for evening receptions, or ivory jacket sets for early-day weddings.
COCKTAIL PARTIES & AWARD NIGHTS
For events that demand sophisticated dressing, an Indo-Western suit for men is the answer. Tailored fits, dark hues, and sleek embroidery pair perfectly with mood lighting and champagne toasts. They're refined, photogenic, and comfortable enough for a 6-hour gala.
SANGEET & MEHENDI FUNCTIONS
Lightweight kurtas with a drape jacket are ideal for such functions. Vibrant tones, softer silhouettes, and minimal embroidery strike the right balance of festive and functional.
CULTURAL OR HIGH-PROFILE GATHERINGS
Whether it's Diwali parties in Dubai or an international wedding celebration in Italy, Indo-Western clothing carries the Indian heritage forward without compromise.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT INDO-WESTERN LOOK
MATCH THE MOOD
If it's a sangeet, bring colour. Yellows, bottle greens, rust orange. If it's a formal dinner, we suggest charcoal, navy, or emerald in velvet or Tussar silk.
FIT OVER EVERYTHING
No matter how ornate the embroidery, the silhouette must lead. Our jackets are tailored with shoulder slope in mind, designed to sharpen posture.
PLAY WITH FABRICS & LAYERS
Mix matte with sheen. Try a dull-silk kurta with a mirror work jacket. Or contrast lining in inner hems for subtle drama.
CHOOSE COLOUR STRATEGICALLY
Neutrals, such as ivory and beige, work best for the day events. In contrast, jewel tones—emerald, wine, navy—shine at night.
