The era of only maroon and beige for men is long gone. Today’s groom and wedding guest are embracing a wider colour palette while keeping silhouettes sleek and sophisticated. From mirror-work silk kurtas to ombré pintuck details, men’s ethnic wear now plays with tone, texture, and mood.
Below, we break down six key colours ruling the men’s festive wardrobe this season — and match each one with a handpicked kurta set from our Fabilicious curation.
1. Green: The New Festive Classic
Green has moved from “traditional” to trendsetting. Deep and mid greens feel rooted yet fresh, especially when paired with mirror embroidery or antique gold detailing. This shade works beautifully for Mehendi, Sangeet, or even a day wedding where you want richness without going too dark.
Green Mirror Silk Kurta Set
Silk, mirror work, and a rich green base create a look that’s festive yet refined. Ideal for Mehendi or Sangeet, this kurta set pairs well with tan loafers and a minimal watch.

Soft pinks and rose tones are no longer “experimental” — they’re front-row favourites for modern grooms and groomsmen. Mirror-embroidered pink kurtas offer that perfect balance of playful and polished, especially for engagement parties, rokas, and pastel-themed weddings.
Pink Mirror Silk Kurta Set
This pink silk kurta brings in intricate mirror work without feeling loud. Pair with ivory churidars and muted juttis for a look that is soft, stylish, and camera-ready.
Shop Pink Kurta3. White & Ivory: Minimalist Royalty
Nothing spells “effortlessly regal” like a clean white or ivory kurta set. With subtle mirror work and a dupatta, this palette is ideal for grooms who prefer a classic, stripped-back aesthetic — think roka ceremonies, daytime pheras, or temple weddings.
White Mirror Work Kurta DUPATTA Set
A pristine white base with mirror accents and a coordinated dupatta makes this set feel instantly groom-worthy. Style with tan or ivory footwear and minimal jewellery.
Shop White Kurta4. Sky Blue: Cool, Calm, Camera-Loving
Sky blue has become a go-to for destination and outdoor weddings. It sits beautifully against natural backdrops and works for both daytime and early evening events. In men’s ethnic wear, sky blue offers a refreshing break from the expected, yet remains incredibly wearable.
Sky Blue Kurta Set
Light, breezy, and versatile, this sky kurta set is ideal for day weddings, brunch events, or resort celebrations.
Shop Sky Blue Kurta5. Yellow: Haldi-Perfect Sunshine
No list of trending men’s ethnic colours is complete without yellow. From marigold to ombré saffron, these shades are practically made for Haldi and Mehendi functions. In lighter, embroidered versions, yellow also works for day engagements with a joyful, celebratory vibe.
Yellow Ombre Kurta Set
The ombré effect and pintuck yoke detailing add interest without overwhelming. Pair with simple footwear and let the colour do the talking.
Shop Yellow Kurta6. Black: Modern, Sharp & Statement
Black in men’s ethnic wear is bolder than ever — especially when softened with floral or tonal embroidery. It’s a favourite for cocktail nights, receptions, and after-parties, where the dress code leans more contemporary and the lighting is low and moody.
Black Silk Kurta Set
Floral detailing in pink lifts the black base, creating a look that’s edgy but still rooted in Indian aesthetics — perfect for evening festivities.
