Print Precisions

While bright florals are reserved for women, men can also give a slick touch to the print incorporating a subdued tropical take. Moreover, handwoven ikat or tonal block printing looks refined with well-tailored ethnic staples like kurtas and Bundi jackets. Go for a monotone ensemble with tonal highlights to treat the trend with a more polished appeal. Nail the trend for a daytime soiree or even at pre-wedding get-togethers for an added impact.

Peppy Pastels

Pastels are a sartorial asset owing to its timelessness and season-transcending essence. Find a leeway from the perennial beiges and blues embracing the subdued flair of peaches and icy hues. Pair pastel-hued separates with solid neutrals or pull off a head-to-toe monotone for a svelte glare. The sombre statement is sure to make you look class apart from the bevvy at any wedding occasion.
