Jodhpuri Suit for Engagement
After styling hundreds of engagement ceremonies over 15 years, I've learned that choosing the right Jodhpuri suit for your engagement requires careful consideration of style, comfort, and occasion. Let me share my experience to help you create that perfect first impression.
Understanding the Occasion
An engagement ceremony sits between formal and festive. Last month, I helped a client choose his engagement outfit. We selected a powder blue Jodhpuri with subtle silver embroidery - formal enough to impress the in-laws but festive enough to celebrate the occasion.
