Types of Bangladeshi Wedding Shoes for the Groom

By Biye bazaar / 2019-01-07

When it comes to Bangladeshi weddings, every simple bit of the outfit is important, including footwear. Though at times the bride or the groom wants to ignore this, it shouldn’t be the case. When you are the groom or the bride, every single bit of your outfit is going to be closely observed by the guests, or the relatives you have invited. You definitely don’t want to ruin your whole outfit just because the shoe you have worn is not good enough. That’s why it is important to understand what shoes go with what outfit.For the groom, it is more important as the wedding shoe should be traditional, and look premium. As Bangladeshi weddings have multiple events and occasions, it is necessary to understand how you are going to choose a particular type of shoe depending on the event you are willing to attend.

The Reception





In vast majority of instances, the groom wears a Sherwani or a gorgeous Panjabi in the reception. The color of the main outfit must be bright and glowing. Though recently people want to get jobs done with a suit, still Sherwani and Panjabi are yet to get extinct. That’s why I am going to assume that you will wear a Sherwani or a Panjabi, along with a nice Pagri. Anyways, the most famous shoe that goes with such outfit on the reception is called the Nagra ( Wedding Man's Shoe ). This is the kind of shoe the royal family members used to wear when monarchy still existed in the sub-continent. Nagras are very gorgeous and colorful, just like the overall outfit. The twisted front side is the most visible trait of such shoes. While choosing a Nagra, make sure the color fits well with the rest of the outfit. If you are confused, then go with golden. It goes with every clothing color in wedding.

The Holud





Gaye Holud is one of the very unique kinds of ceremonies that take place in a wedding. This is a sub-continent culture specifically. Expect a lot of tamarind paste to be put on your body and face. The most common type of clothing for this occasion is a normal yellow Panjabi. You shouldn’t choose a very expensive one, as the tamarind paste might ruin it for you. Anyways, purchase good-looking sandals for as the footwear. The sandal doesn’t necessarily need to be too colorful and gorgeous, but make sure the quality is good and it doesn’t look like your everyday sandal.

The Engagement





Engagements that take place in wedding halls or convention centers, in most of the cases the go-to outfit for the groom is a good premium suit or tuxedo. Suits and tuxedos are used as wedding outfits in the west, and it is getting a lot of traction in sub-continent weddings as well. However, the most obvious shoe choice for such an outfit is definitely leather shoes. The color should match with the suit color obviously. Make sure the shoe looks shiny. If you can see your reflection on your shoe, then it is even better. Jokes apart, make sure the leather is pure. There are lots of faux leather shoes that are available in the market and they are kind of indistinguishable from the real ones. Don’t get conned by them. The quality is very important here, and you don’t want to ruin your engagement by wearing fake shoes.If you have other occasions to attend, then choose wisely and never compromise with quality. It’s your wedding after all.
