Luxurious Yet Lightweight Kurtas Every Groom Will Love

We don’t call weddings a once-in-a-lifetime milestone for nothing. Décor to catering, everything is a grand affair. But when it comes to the wedding wardrobe, heavy, over-embellished or OTT no longer means memorable. As they say, God is in the details. Not just limited to brides, but grooms today are no longer conforming to tried-and-tested ivories and silhouettes either. They prefer pieces that speak to their personality and ones that lift the weight off. It's why the classic kurta will never lose its charm. With the silhouette being appropriate for most wedding-related events, be it a pre-wedding puja, a playful mehndi party or a traditional civil ceremony, picking a versatile one can ensure that you get the most out of your investment even after the big day.

If you are a groom who gravitates towards a more minimal yet timeless aesthetic, you’ll appreciate the recent drop by Republic by Omar Farooq. The Pakistani designer is renowned for bringing class and style to the groom’s wedding wardrobe. For his latest edit, Omar “takes a pragmatic concept, a nod to cultural heritage balanced by a lively narrative of what's to come.” Think kurtas featuring light embroidery, featherlight fabrics and sophisticated colours.

Ahead, we have put together our favourite kurtas for the 2023 groom.


Incredible Ivory

Perfect for the groom who loves versatility, this ivory silk set is meant to be worn and re-worn. It also makes for the perfect piece to layer with a sherwani. Wear it with a coloured stone necklace for some colour.



Red Alert

What could be more striking than a red kurta! And this look is proof. Perfect for a day ceremony or evening, this crimson creation is crafted using rich jacquard cotton fabric and accented with emblem badge detail and golden buttons.



Get Rusty

This rust orange kurta is the perfect alternative to jarring reds. It features organza patches on the yoke that is enhanced with mid-century floral motifs in delicate embroidery. A matching trouser completes the look.



White Magic

Part of Republic by Omar Farooq’s Collection Volume-I comes this classic white kurta set. Although a timeless design, delicate work in a geometric pattern elevates it. We love how it is paired with a drape instead of the usual churidars.



Pristine & Perfect

Another white creation we are swooning over is this set. The powder white slub cotton kurta and trousers set showcases contemporary floral and geometric organza flock printed placket detailed with gun-metal buttons.



Terrific Teal

If you’re looking for a unique shade, you’ll appreciate this Lafayette green version. Although heavily embroidered, this set is made in a light cotton with a running stitch band collar and hidden placket, detailed with geometric and mid-century floral motifs.



Blue Sky

Ditch traditional blue kurtas in favour of this stylish version by Republic by Omar Farooq. Made with cotton and with a Mandarin collar, it beautifully mimics the sky, making for a perfect daytime look.
