January 5, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): The Sherwani and the Kurta are two of the greatest innovations that recent times have seen in terms of mens fashion attires in the traditional Indian section. There was a time when only the plain cotton white starched kurtas and dull sherwanis were considered to be mens attire.

Gone are the days when men only wanted to be suited and booted at traditional occasions like weddings and festive occasions.

The modern Indian designers have greatly changed the perception and mind sets of people all over the world regarding the Sherwani and the Kurta which has become almost patent attire for men at even formal occasions these days. The sherwani and kurta is normally worn with pyjamas or even the dhoti. Some even pair it off with an Aligarhi, or a pyjama with narrow endings.

The Sherwani and Kurta have seen an amazing transformation over the years and with great innovative designs, embellishments and embroidery the entire look of these garments have revolutionized the fashion scene for men.

There is almost every color that is being launched in this traditional attire for men and what was once considered a taboo in terms of mens fashion has now become a rage. Colors like pale green, pink and even mauve have become quite common with the whites, off whites, creams and beiges along with an array of shades of black remaining the perennial favorites.

So, if you happen to be one of those men who still havent invested in the sherwani or the kurta pyjama or the dhoti, this is the time, go get it!
