For winter weddings, the sherwani jacket is the ultimate attire for men ! The sherwani is an outfit that consists of an inner shirt or kurta topped with an ornate jacket. The jacket is usually made up of luxurious fabrics like velvet, silk, cambric etc. The layered nature of the outfit makes it comfortable in the chilly weather. The sherwani is paired with trousers or churidar bottoms and an ornate stole. The stole helps keep the wearer warm as well. Let us look at 30 drool-worthy winter sherwanis!
1. Resham Embroidery on Resham
The base of decadent tussar silk is adorned with resham thread embroidery in multiple hues and geo-floral motifs. It’s perfect for winters considering the colorfulness of the attire and the warmth induced by the rich silk.
2. Royal in Gold
The regality of this royal gold sherwani comes from the luxurious silk fabric it is created from. A fabric so decadent, does not need any embellishment. So if you like to keep things simple yet glamorous, go for a winter sherwani of this type!
3. Mughal Motifs in Resham Thread Work
The slightly longer sherwani jacket will not only keep you warm but is reminiscent of erstwhile Mughal fashion. The architectural floral embroidery on the ivory silk also reminds one of the pietra dura work of Mughal monuments. Because you can wear such glamorous and vintage outfits only in cold weather, this ensemble is a perfect winter sherwani.
4. Brocade Brilliance
Both the sherwanis are made up of silk in pastel tones and the embellishment also has a matte appearance. This hints at the idea of faded glamour which is perfect for twilight winter weddings. Zardozi and aari embroidery techniques have been used.
5. Paisleys on Black
It’s one of the most elegant looks on this list! It’s a black silk brocade with woven paisley motifs on it! Not only is the fabric but the color too is suitable for various winter events! This winter sherwani has a bit of self tone thread embroidery too which gives it an interesting texture!
6. Quintessential Red & Gold Brocade
It’s a traditional combination and has been winning hearts for years! This is a Banarasi silk brocade fabric that uses colors like red and gold! It’s perfect for winter weddings. The collar, cuffs and stole also showcase sequin and zari embroidery!
7. Vivacious Velvet Sherwanis
When it comes to winter sherwanis, how can we forget velvets? Velvet is perhaps the most sought after fabric for winter wedding sherwanis. Not only is the fabric comfortable and will keep you warm, it looks extremely glamorous, royal, vintage and luxurious! This one here is in a dark maroon tone with minimal embellishment, ornate collar and statement buttons!
8. Bootas on Velvet Achkan
Achkans are simply a variation of the sherwani inspired by Indo-Western styles. They are shorter in length and often paired with trousers instead of traditional churidars. This makes them comfortable in winter as they can be paired with formal shoes as well. This dark red velvet achkan has all over bootas in gold zari work.
9. Paired With A Shawl
A hack to keep warm as a winter groom is going for a sherwani paired with a shawl instead of a stole. Here is a midnight blue sherwani in velvet paired with a cream Kashmiri paisley shawl! It’s a really elegant combination!
10. Jacquard Sherwani with Heavy Stole
The sherwani fabric, with complex self design creating a jacquard appearance, is perfect for winters as it is heavy. It has been paired with a heavy stole, densely embroidered with zari and thread!
11. The Magic of Layers
Vintage and traditional sherwanis always came in layers. This very feature makes it the perfect groom-wear for winter weddings. More layers equals more comfort in cold weather. Here, an anarkali kurta has been topped with two sherwani jackets. Stole and belt feature makes the outfit even more attractive.
12. Layers in Pastels
It’s a stunning outfit for a daytime wedding in winter! The inner anarkali kurta is made up of pastel pink chanderi silk with silver woven boota motifs all over. The jacket on top comes in a subtle pastel blue tone with silver thread work and sequin embroidery. The stole and trousers are also pastel pink with mirror work border on the stole.
13. Crimson and Gold
Another incredible winter sherwani in layers! This one is pretty heavy too for all the grooms who love the glamour. The inner anarkali kurta is in a dark crimson shade Banarasi silk fabric with gold bootas all over. The jacket on top is golden with all-over detailed self tone embroidery. The stole is heavy with ornate borders and fastened in place with an ornate belt.
14. Traditional at its Best
Nothing can beat the grandeur and elegance of totally traditional outfits! Here is a quintessential ivory and gold anarkali sherwani! The embroidered motifs are pretty uncommon and along with some floral details we can see various types of leaves and deer motifs. Combined with the ivory turban this winter sherwani looks royal!
15. Velvet and Zardozi Shawl
The advantage of carrying a heavy shawl with your sherwani in winter is being able to wrap it around yourself if need arises! This pistachio green embroidered sherwani has been paired with a dark green velvet shawl which also has heavy zardozi embroidery in gold!
16. Layers and Drapes
Layers are a hit in winter weddings! A warm kurta underneath a heavy sherwani jacket ensures that it stays warm in chilly weather. Also, if you take a stole and drape it in an aesthetic way, it keeps you even more comfortable and also looks stunning!
17. Embellishment Game
Not everyone is comfortable wearing layered sherwanis. You might not be comfortable with the style. A straight sherwani jacket paired with traditional churidar bottoms might be more in sync with your personal style. In that case, make sure that the sherwani jacket itself is heavily embellished. It looks great in a winter wedding.
18. The Golden Silk
It’s a layered sherwani with an embroidered cream toned jacket. But what makes it outstanding is the lustrous gold silk with which the anarkali kurta, the dupatta and the turban have been made. The silk gives out a natural glow of its own and goes really well with the cream jacket.
19. Stories in Ivory
Luxury meets royalty in this winter sherwani for the groom! The unique aspect of this look is the sherwani jacket which is much shorter than the anarkali kurta inside. Apart from a bit of embroidery and some ornate borders, there is no other form of embellishment. The richness of the ivory fabric comes through because of this!
20. Add a Blazer
The black blazer and the bottle green sherwani is creating a monochromatic look! It’s a great way to keep warm in winter as the blazer will add more comfort. Moreover, the dark color on dark color monochromatic look is ideal for the colder season.
21. A Longer Jacket
22. Thread Worked Elegance
It’s a steel grey silk sherwani perfect for the winter groom! The steel grey silk fabric has a luxurious sheen to it and the craftsmanship of the jacket is top notch. The self color resham thread work showcases half paisleys with fish scales, jaali and tikona style embroidery! The elegant silk shawl is also one-of-a-kind.
23. Ornate Blazer
An ornate blazer in a neutral tone is a life saviour in a winter wedding! It can be paired with almost anything and keep you warm at the time. Here we have a cream toned gold zari embroidered front open blazer. You may pair it with your sherwanis or achkans or even your kurtas to create elegant and comfortable looks!
24. The Contrast Turban
It’s an ivory and gold sherwani jacket paired with a turban in a dark green tone. The contrasting dark green color not only looks stunning but would also prove to be a blessing if you are a winter groom. In case of open air wedding venues in winter, the safa or turban is a must!
25. The Royal Winter Sherwani
To create royal looks in a sherwani, the accessories are really important! And they also prove to be helpful in colder weather. Here is an ivory and gold short sherwani jacket and trousers paired with a larger-than-life gold turban, a decadent silk shawl and embroidered jootis! The accessories are making this look so much more regal!
26. Chikankari Threadwork Sherwanis
Chikankari sherwani jackets look extremely classy especially when paired with anarkali kurtas. Sometimes, you might be overdoing a layered sherwani look without realising it! To be on the safer side go for chikankari or other type of thread work instead of zari embellishment. They look classy and not over-the-top.
27. Just a Velvet Sherwani
Nothing’s more simple or more elegant than a velvet sherwani jacket in a dark shade with no other embellishment except ornate collars and ornate buttons. Add a safa as an accessory and you’ve turned it into a royal ensemble.

29. Jaquard Sherwanis
These sherwanis, made up of the finest satin and silk fabrics are perfect for winters. The high collars and the slanted button line give it a touch of uniqueness. The embellishment is low as the jaquard look of the fabric is enough to make heads turn.
30. Fusion Bandhgala Sherwani
Go for a fusion sherwani in pastel tones for your winter wedding! We call it a fusion ‘sherwani’ because it has been paired with a kurta. Instead of a longer jacket, a bandhgala has been paired with the kurta. The bandhgala is also different with unique lapel design.
