Which Fabric Is the Best for Sherwani: All You Need to Know

What to Look for in Sherwani Fabric

The fabric shapes your sherwani, complements its embroidery, and affects how comfortable it feels. When choosing your fabric, consider three things:

• Structure: Choose a fabric that gives your sherwani the level of structure and shape you prefer.
• Texture and Finish: Consider the fabric texture, pattern, and overall finish, as these details affect the final look of the sherwani.
• Comfort: Fabric weight, lining, embroidery, and layering all contribute to how comfortable the sherwani feels throughout the occasion.

Think about these qualities together. A fabric may feel light on its own, but lining and embroidery can add weight and change how the finished sherwani feels when worn.

Fabric Options for Your Sherwani

We offer Jamawar, raw silk, velvet, and self patterned fabrics, each with a different look.

• Jamawar: Its woven patterns give a sherwani a traditional look for a barat event. Dabki, kora, or zardozi work around the collar and cuffs can add detail while leaving the fabric pattern visible. Matching embroidered khussa completes the outfit.
• Raw Silk: Raw silk offers texture and works with simple or detailed designs for a nikkah, engagement, or barat. Choose resham embroidery for threadwork detail, or sequins and cut dana work for added shine. Wear it with matching plain embroidered loafer.
• Velvet: Velvet has a soft feel and a rich look for winter weddings and evening walima events. Zardozi, dabki, or kora work can stand out against the fabric, while sequins add shine. Embroidered khussa gives a traditional finish, while plain loafer keep the look simple.
• Self Patterned Fabrics: These fabrics have patterns within the material and suit a simple look for a nikkah, barat, or engagement. Resham embroidery in a matching colour can add subtle detail. Small amounts of sequins or cut dana work add shine, while plain khussa completes the outfit.

You can also customise and chosen fabric with resham, dabki, kora, zardozi, sequins, or cut dana work. Our team can help you explore embroidery options that complement your chosen fabric and wedding look.

Choosing Fabric Based on Wedding Season

Your sherwani should suit the weather as well as your wedding style. You can select fabric and embroidery options to suit your wedding season, event, and personal style.

• Summer Weddings: Choose lighter fabrics and embroidery that keeps the overall outfit comfortable. Lightweight raw silk or self patterned fabrics can work well, depending on their weight and weave.
• Winter Weddings: Velvet and Jamawar fabrics can create a rich, stylish look for cooler weather. Pair them with your preferred embroidery while considering indoor heating and the overall weight of the finished sherwani.
