Also known as achkans, they are highly embroidered and are made of costly fabrics. Colors vary from pastel shades to lighter tones while some come in very bright hues like sky blue, maroon, mauve etc. The price varies with the amount of work done on a sherwani.

As far as preference is concerned, the groom can either go for a round necked sherwani with heavy zardosi work all over the body for a glam feel or a straight cut, Nehru coat type sherwani with minimal stitch work but cut out of silk or poly silk fabric for a shiny look. To complete the look, he can take a crushed stole draped around his neck or simply a well pleated one on one side of his shoulder. A turban wrapped in a fashionable way can add more glitz to the entire look. Often, a stylish kamarbandh compliments a sherwani. Even if sherwanis are available in long and short sizes, the long sherwanis are the common picks of the grooms. Other grooms’ accessories that go well with a sherwani include cufflinks, chained buttons, etc.
