Do Your Homework
It is important to do your research about the number and the kind of outfits you’d want to wear for different occasions. When you are clear about what it is that you would want to wear, it saves you from randomly choosing from the readily available options and blindly following a trend.
Accessories a Necessity
Accessories are extremely important especially for the men. Some of the accessories that go great for wedding attire are haars, watches, brooch and matching footwear or jootis. Make sure your footwear complements your outfit. Be it by having similar work or by matching it according to a color scheme or color blocking, instead of simply trying to find a footwear of the exact same color as your outfit as it looks very monotonous.
Shape is Important
While buying the outfits, women especially need to take care that they buy their outfits according to their body type and shape. While buying jewelry they must pay attention to the shape of their face as well. Girls with curves should choose dresses that highlight their best curves and use different kind of drapes to their advantage. A choker necklace looks great on longer necks and long Raanihaars look gorgeous on women with shorter necks.
Pay Attention to the Season
This is especially important when you are choosing the color of your outfits. Different colors look good in different weathers and seasons, due to the nature of light and the nature’s colour palette in that season. For example the colors that would look fabulous in a summer wedding might look drab in a winter event.
