How to Style Sunglasses with Traditional Wear This Wedding Season

Indian weddings are not just ceremonies—they're grand celebrations bursting with color, heritage, music, and unforgettable style. As fashion continues to evolve, one accessory has made a bold entry into the traditional wardrobe space: sunglasses. That’s right—sunglasses aren’t just for shielding your eyes from the sun anymore; they’ve become a powerful statement of attitude, elegance, and contemporary flair, even when paired with sherwanis, lehengas, and kurtas.

At ROYALTAIL, we believe sunglasses are more than just functional—they're an extension of your identity. And during wedding season, when style matters more than ever, the right pair of ROYALTAIL sunglasses can elevate your traditional look, giving it that unmistakable modern edge.

So, if you’re gearing up for wedding festivities and wondering how to pull off sunglasses with traditional wear, this ultimate guide is for you.

Why Sunglasses at Indian Weddings Are the New Norm

Once seen as a quirky fashion choice, sunglasses at Indian weddings have now become a full-fledged trend—and for good reason:

• Photos that pop: Sunglasses give your wedding or festive photos a stylish, editorial look.

• Function meets fashion: Perfect for outdoor day events like haldis, varmala, or baarat processions.

• Adds personality: Whether you're the groom, bridesmaid, or a stylish guest, sunglasses inject a dose of bold confidence.

ROYALTAIL’s collection of premium sunglasses is crafted to not just match your outfit—but to enhance it with the perfect blend of tradition and trend.

How to Style Sunglasses with Traditional Wear: Outfit Breakdowns

Let’s explore how different traditional outfits can be paired with ROYALTAIL sunglasses to create unforgettable wedding looks.

1. The Groom’s Sherwani Look

Outfit:

• Embroidered sherwani in ivory, gold, or deep maroon

• Turban or safa with brooch

• Mojaris or juttis

• ROYALTAIL square or aviator sunglasses

Style Tip:
Go for bold square frames with a hint of gold or metallic rims. ROYALTAIL’s “Regal Edge” Aviators work beautifully here, especially during the varmala or baraat.

Why it Works:
Sherwanis are rich and royal—pairing them with luxurious frames elevates the elegance while adding masculine confidence. A well-selected sunglass adds attitude to an already power-packed outfit.

2. Kurta Pyjama with Nehru Jacket

Outfit:

• Solid or printed kurta

• Contrasting Nehru jacket

• Churidars or slim trousers

• ROYALTAIL wayfarer-style sunglasses

Style Tip:
Opt for tortoiseshell or matte black rectangle frames. The ROYALTAIL “Urban Maharaja” model offers the right balance of ethnic charm and modern minimalism.

Why it Works:
This is the perfect pre-wedding or haldi outfit, and pairing it with sunglasses creates a stylish yet laid-back look that’s perfect for daytime events.

3. The South Indian Dhoti Look

Outfit:

• Crisp white or cream dhoti and angavastram

• Gold bordered veshti

• ROYALTAIL classic black or gold-rimmed sunglasses

Style Tip:
Stick to simple frames—thin metallic rectangle or round styles to maintain cultural authenticity with a stylish twist.

Why it Works:
South Indian weddings are often rich in tradition and simplicity. Sunglasses shouldn’t overpower the outfit but enhance its clean elegance. ROYALTAIL’s “Minimal Luxe” collection is ideal here.

4. Bandhgala or Indo-Western Suit

Outfit:

• Velvet or jacquard bandhgala

• Tapered trousers

• Brooches, layered necklaces, or pocket squares

• ROYALTAIL flat-top sunglasses or geometric frames

Style Tip:
Go bold! Think matte black, oversized frames, or gradient lenses. ROYALTAIL’s “Boldline Royale” is made for this look.

Why it Works:
The Indo-Western fusion outfit demands equally fusion-friendly accessories. Sunglasses here are not optional—they're essential.

5. Lehenga or Saree for Women (Bridesmaids or Guests)

Outfit:

• Heavy embroidered lehenga or saree

• Bold jewelry (jhumkas, maang tikka, chokers)

• ROYALTAIL oversized sunglasses or cat-eye styles

Style Tip:
Choose feminine shapes with embellishments or mirror lenses for added flair. Rose gold, wine, or beige-toned frames enhance pastel and jewel-toned outfits.

Why it Works:
Sunglasses give women’s traditional outfits a high-fashion runway vibe, especially during outdoor mehendi or poolside haldi events. ROYALTAIL’s “RoyalMuse” collection is made for bold wedding looks.

Day vs. Night: When to Wear Sunglasses at Weddings

Knowing when to rock your ROYALTAIL sunglasses is just as important as knowing how to style them.

✅ Perfect for:

• Daytime functions (haldi, mehendi, varmala, baraat, outdoor photoshoots)

• Pool parties or garden receptions

• Brunches or welcome lunches

❌ Avoid at:

• Indoor evening receptions (unless used briefly for effect)

• Formal pujas or sacred rituals where modesty and focus are key

Always carry a sunglass case so you can stylishly stow them when needed.

Matching Sunglasses to Your Outfit

A key part of styling sunglasses with traditional wear is color and finish coordination. Here's a cheat sheet:

ROYALTAIL ensures every collection has shades to pair with any wedding palette.

Grooming & Accessorizing Tips with Sunglasses

To complete your wedding-season look, consider the following grooming and accessory guidelines:

• Facial Hair: Keep it neat. Rectangle and square sunglasses pair well with clean beards or sharp jawlines.

• Headwear Compatibility: Pairing sunglasses with a safa or turban? Choose temple arms that fit securely without pinching.

• Jewelry & Sunglasses Balance: If your outfit features heavy jewelry (like layered necklaces or brooches), keep your sunglass design simple to avoid visual overload.

Real Wedding Moments: When to Rock Your ROYALTAIL Sunglasses

Here are some iconic moments when sunglasses become more than just an accessory:

• The Groom's Entry (Baraat): Nothing says "modern maharaja" like stepping off the horse in a sherwani and ROYALTAIL shades.

• Haldi Ceremony: Add contrast to the yellow madness with statement sunglasses and white kurta.

• Couple’s Entry: Matching sunglasses for couples during outdoor varmala ceremonies look classy and cohesive.

• Bridesmaids and Groomsmen: Coordinated sunglasses among the wedding squad bring uniformity and cool group photos.
