Menswear This Eid
The very mention of Eid gets us excited and happy. An occasion where we get to indulge in shopping for new clothes unapologetically- what could be better? For the most part, trends are defined when it comes to women's' wear. We are bombarded with images, tips, ideas and new silhouettes months ahead of Eid so we can plan ahead. But the men ought not to be left out and these days there are more options for the not-so-fairer sex than ever before! With this in mind, Lifestyle has put together a comprehensive guide for the latest trends in menswear this Eid, so read on!
Dressing for Eid can be divided into two categories- formal and casual. Panjabi is the outfit of choice for men, and it is an incredibly versatile article of clothing that can be worn as both formal or casual wear.
For Eid mornings at the mosque followed by a cosy breakfast at home with family, a panjabi in comfortable fabrics such as endi cotton, linen and cotton are perfect. Soothing colours such as white, cream, beige are popular choices. Pastel shades look stylish and feel comfortable too.
For evenings, a panjabi in a slightly heavy, opulent fabric with embroidery or embellishments is ideal, especially when there are parties to go to. White, beige and cream are perennial favourites, but rich colours such as copper, black and navy look elegant too.
For a different look opt for Nehru vests over short panjabi and fitted pants. These vests could be in a basic colour such as black, grey or brown. Alternatively, vests in offbeat fabrics such as brocade, Chinese silk or printed satin can be a fabulous option. Paired with plain panjabi and fitted pants, they look ethnic yet modern.
In terms of casual wear, jeans will always rule for men. Blue denims are classics, but the trendy new denims in bright colours are also gaining popularity pretty fast. Mustard, brown, muddy red, cerulean, sea green and purple are favourite shades this season. Brightly coloured denims look best when paired with a neutral colour shirts or t-shirts. In terms of shirts, plaids and checks are cool and comfy. Floral shirts are one trend that the bold of heart can carry. Try small, subtle prints at first, if you wish.
Polo shirts are fashionable as ever, and colours such as light pink, orange, bright blue and green are quite hot this year. With these tips in mind, Eid this year is likely to be a fashionable affair for men, that too with ease. Happy shopping guys!
