Summer weddings in India are a stunning mix of grandeur and challenge. While the long daylight hours, floral themes, and bright décor make summer weddings feel fresh and vibrant, the high heat and humidity can make traditional attire a real burden especially for grooms. With multi-layered sherwanis, heavy embroidery, and long hours in public view, discomfort can become a real issue.

That’s where Rajwada’s expertise in men’s ethnic fashion truly shines.

At Rajwada, we believe that elegance should never come at the cost of comfort. Our summer groomwear collection has been thoughtfully designed for both style and season blending breathable sherwani fabrics, lightweight tailoring, and versatile designs suited for every pre-wedding and post-wedding event.

Why Summer-Specific Ethnic Wear for Grooms Is Essential?

While traditional groomwear in India is usually about grandeur, summer calls for a more mindful approach. Heavy velvets, brocades, and dark tones may look royal, but they often fail when tested against real-world summer conditions sweat patches, restricted movement, and overheating.

Top Summer Complaints from Grooms:

  • “It looked good in the trial, but I was drenched by the baraat!”
  • “I couldn’t move freely while sitting on the mandap.”
  • “My outfit felt suffocating by the end of the pheras.”

These are real challenges that Rajwada addresses through its summer groom outfit collection, combining style with smart design.

Fabric First: The Secret Behind Summer Groom Comfort

When it comes to summer weddings, fabric choice is everything. At Rajwada, we’ve curated an exclusive selection of breathable sherwani fabrics that are light, elegant, and designed to keep you cool without compromising on regal flair.

1. Cotton-Silk Blend

A crisp, luxurious option ideal for day events like haldi and mehendi. Lightweight and naturally breathable.

2. Modal Silk

This sustainable, soft fabric drapes effortlessly and adds a rich sheen to sherwanis and bandhgalas. Rajwada offers modal silk in pastel tones like ivory, champagne, mint green, and blush.

3. Jacquard Weaves

Textured yet light, these sherwanis add visual depth without additional bulk.

4. Pure Linen

Perfect for pre-wedding brunches or intimate rituals, Rajwada’s linen bandhgalas offer breathable comfort with effortless polish.

Event-Wise Style Guide for Grooms

Haldi & Mehendi – Light, Playful, and Functional

Your outfit for haldi or mehendi needs to move with you. Expect lots of rituals, playful moments, and the occasional turmeric stain. Stick to pastel kurtas in cotton-silk blends, paired with slim pyjamas or churidars.

Rajwada Tip: Add a floral printed safa or an embroidered stole to elevate the look.

Top Pick:
Lime Yellow Luxe Resham Embroidered Kurta– pastel-perfect and breathable.
