Working out what to wear
Six pieces written to answer the questions people actually ask before they commission something: what a dress code means, which garment a function is asking for, and what is worth spending on.
Indian formalwear
- Bandhgala or sherwani: which one you actually need — the difference in length, line and how often you will wear it again.
- What to wear to an Indian wedding reception — three routes that all work, for guests and for grooms.
- The groom's wardrobe, function by function — mehendi through reception, and where the presence should go.
Western tailoring
- Black tie, decoded — what the dress code actually requires, and where there is room to move.
- Your first suit: what to buy and why — the four decisions that matter.
How tailoring works
- Made to measure, bespoke and ready to wear — what changes between them, and which one you need.
