Here Comes The Groom
GET SMART BEFORE YOU SHOP
Men's wear is available in three basic categories, and understanding these can go a long way in helping the groom make the best choice to suit his style, and pocket.
Ready-to-wears are factory-made in standardised sizes and quality. Even though they offer a lesser degree of control to the customer, it is by far the most budget friendly option.
Made-to-measure menswear, on the other hand, is produced from an adjusted pattern block where patterns are not made for the customer, but rather, stored patterned pieces are assembled together to match the customers' need. Made-to-measure clothes are capable of providing the perfect fit.
Bespoke offers a man full control! Literally made from scratch, they are individually patterned and crafted for the customer and are known to fit flawlessly. Needless to say, the exclusivity of bespoke clothing makes it the most expensive of the lot.
ZURHEM
One of the pioneers in men's fashion in the country, Zurhem designs are perfectly geared to a man's needs. You cannot go wrong with their tailored-to-fit suits and tuxedo collection for the engagement, or reception. Whereas their Maharajan collection is perfect for the holud and the wedding ceremony.
A fusion of modern and ethnic, the Maharajan collection is intricately tooled to ensure that every groom is on-point on the trend meter. As the name suggests, this regal looking collection consists of handsomely tailored Nehru suits, vests and jackets along with classy kurtas and richly decorated sherwanis.
The Zurhem range of suits and tuxes, as well as their Nehru suits, range between Tk 15,000 to Tk 30,000. Although their ready to wear vests and kurta sets start off at Tk 15,000, solo kurtas are available at Tk 8,000.
