Grooms redefine wedding wardrobes with comfort, tradition, and reusability in mind
The question of what to wear again is entering the wedding wardrobe surprisingly early. Dubai-based designer Varoin Marwah hears it from grooms who want to know how a jacket might work at another celebration, or whether the pieces of a ceremonial outfit can be worn separately.

Weddings in Dubai are prompting grooms to rethink their wardrobes, focusing on comfort, tradition, and reusability. Varoin Marwah, a Dubai-based designer, notes that grooms are now considering how a jacket might fit into other events and whether the pieces of a ceremonial outfit can be worn separately. Comfort has become a top priority for grooms, who want clothes that are easy to move in and feel good over several hours.
Marwah emphasizes that the best wedding look is one where the groom's personality shines through first and the clothes second, without feeling like a different person for the occasion.
Roshin Rahman, Carelli Bespoke's creative director, sees that grooms bring specific concerns to their fittings, such as lapel width, cloth mills, and jacket construction. Weddings in different countries, like Italy, Turkey, and India, introduce additional factors like weather, venue, and travel. Rahman's clients now inquire about the jacket's construction details, such as canvassing and the cloth's origin.
Designers like Kanika Mehra of VAVCI focus on fabric weight, personal touches, and the groom's preferences, sometimes incorporating family textiles into the design process to create a modern outfit with a touch of family history.
