As far as the image of an Indian pre wedding event is concerned, the bride always steals all the limelight but not anymore! 2026 will be the year when even the groom’s clothes will get their fair share of appreciation. An engagement dress is not just about looking good in pictures; it is about celebrating a significant milestone of life wearing something that not only makes you look great but feels great on the skin. We at Agapi Clothing have been helping many grooms-to-be pick their engagement wear and here’s what’s trending in the season.
For the most part, the engagement, or ring ceremony, is the first time when both parties gather into one family. In a way, it is a rehearsal for all other events the sangeet, the wedding, the reception. This event requires the groom to show elegance, comfort, and uniqueness at once. It is great news since 2026 offers the widest range of options for this combination of characteristics from classic designs to modern ones.
As opposed to the wedding day, when all decisions are strictly regulated by traditions, an engagement gives more freedom to be creative. This is the opportunity to experiment with colors, textures, and detailing before choosing the outfit for the wedding day. This is the reason why this event became a real testing ground for menswear. No matter if the ceremony takes place at home or at the party where there are a hundred guests, the outfit should be thought out well.
Of all the silhouettes that remain timeless when it comes to designing an engagement dress for men, the most popular one has always been the kurta set and this year, it is definitely the zari-thread kurta that seems to be doing extremely well. Zari thread work on any outfit adds the much needed glitz and glamour to an outfit while ensuring that it is neither too flashy nor overpowering.
A perfect example of this would be the Black Satin Kurta Set With Zari Thread by Agapi. Black is perhaps one of the most popular colors being requested this year when it comes to an engagement dress for men due to its photo-friendly nature and the fact that it complements both gold and silver jewelry extremely well.
The combination of mirror work along with zari threadwork has become one of the biggest trends of 2026 for those grooms that wish to add some oomph factor to their appearance. It not only makes their attire appear more lively under the light of an event but also helps them appear ready to celebrate their engagement or wedding party where there will be dance, music, and celebrations at night time.
The Olive Green Satin Kurta Set with Zari Thread & Mirror Work can be a great option in this regard. Olive green has gained immense popularity as one of the favorite substitutes of traditional maroons and golds.
