What Shoes to Wear With a Sherwani? The Top Styles

When you are browsing your options, here are the styles that make sense, especially when you are looking at men’s formal sandals, men's formal loafers, formal loafers or men's casual loafers.

1. Mojaris / Juttis

These are the heritage pick: handcrafted, detailed, with ethnic charm. They shout “wedding” and “tradition.” Best for rich, classic sherwanis and fully traditional settings. Just check the sole and comfort if you will be on your feet a long time.

Sleek, polished, stylish. Leather, velvet, and suede finishes. These wedding loafer shoes for men work beautifully if your sherwani has a modern edge, if you are going destination or fusion style or you simply want comfort and style in one.

3. Formal Sandals

When it’s daytime, outdoors, perhaps in warm weather, these formal sandals bring breathability plus style. Leather or premium style. But skip them if your outfit is ultra-formal or heavy with embroidery.

4. Monk Straps / Closed Formal Shoes

If you are styling smart-casual or fusion (say, trousers instead of churidar), go for closed formal shoes or monk-straps. They bring that tailored finish and clean lines.
