Jaipur, Feb18: For years, men's fashion was considered simple, serious, and restricted to shades of black, blue, and grey. Also there was also a strong belief that colours like pink or bold shades were too "feminine" for men.

However, this stereotype has been changing lately. Today, men are more open to experimenting with colours, patterns, and modern silhouettes, proving that fashion is no longer just about looking 'strong and masculine.'

This shift was clearly seen at the FDCI India Men's Weekend, which took place in Jaipur--a two-day event where a total of twenty-six designers showcased a variety of bold, stylish, and experimental menswear designs. Designers believe that men's fashion has evolved significantly, with many now embracing vibrant colors and rich embroidery, which were once considered exclusive to women's fashion. The "pink" stereotype is slowly fading, making room for a more diverse approach to men's fashion.

Speaking to ANI, ace designer JJ Valaya, who presented his collection at the event, shared his thoughts on this change and spoke about how men today confidently embrace prints and colours that are "dramatic."

"The real evolution has happened mainly in men's wear, predominantly because women have always managed to look their best. If you look at the men from thirty years ago, they used to live their lives in suits. Today, I can't think of a single man who gets married in a suit. They are more comfortable wearing fairly extravagant clothes for their own wedding. So, there has been a tangible shift in what's going on," he said.

The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) concluded the India Men's Weekend, presented by Chivas Luxe Perfumes, at Diggi Palace, Jaipur, on February 16. (ANI)
