 What you should avoid from the men outfit ideas list!

  • Avoid dressing in unusual clothing. Shorts, flip-flops, and sleeveless tees are big no-nos. 
  • Don’t over-accessorize. Jackets and dupattas can’t go together. You would look your best in a simple and elegant look. 
  • Similarly, mala and other Indian jewelry will look suitable only at the wedding and not the pre-wedding ceremonies.
