How Indian Web Series Are Revolutionizing Regal Menswear: A Fashion Trend to Watch

Indian web series are changing the game, not just with gripping stories but also in how men dress. These shows are becoming like a new fashion week, bringing history and culture right into our homes. Characters don’t just wear clothes; their outfits tell a story.

Designer styles are making a major comeback. Regal menswear—like royal sherwanis and velvet bandhgalas—is in high demand. Men are embracing these styles in real life, from royal vibes to modern takes on tradition. This shift shows a growing connection to these styles, making them something to invest in, rather than just rent for special occasions.

We chatted with Ravi Gupta, a Creative Designer at Gargee Designer’s, to understand this fashion evolution better.

Character Style

Today’s fashion echoes streaming stars more than Bollywood icons. For example, in Taj: Divided by Blood, Shehzada Khan struts in a velvet angrakha that makes viewers want to own a piece of that style. Following this, searches for “royal sherwani” surged sharply.

Modern Royalty

Jodhpuris used to be reserved for older generations. Now, they’re trendy and adaptive. Stylists blend historical designs with modern fits. Characters like Maharaj Aviraaj ‘Fizzy’ Singh from The Royals showcase how traditional wear can appeal to younger viewers.

Accessories Matter

Once upon a time, brooches were only for old politicians. Now, they’re fashion-forward. Shows like Rocket Boys have made antique pins a trendy aspect. Sarpech brooches and embroidered stoles are now must-haves.

Changes for Grooms

Gone are the days when grooms picked their outfits last minute. Now, they come with inspiration boards and ideas. Styles from OTT shows influence even groomsmen, who coordinate their outfits just like their favorite shows.

Everyday Luxury

OTT culture has blurred the lines between festive wear and daily outfits. Men pair Nehru jackets with jeans and wear bandhgalas to work events, showcasing a trendy fusion of styles. A single standout piece can elevate any outfit, making everyday luxe accessible.

In summary, as you binge-watch your favorite series, notice how the characters’ outfits might inspire your wardrobe. Fashion isn’t just about clothes; it’s about the story you tell through your style.
