Every pearl, bead, and sequin on the daaman is placed and stitched individually rather than run through a machine. You can see it in the motifs, where no two peacocks are quite identical and the vine curves have slight variation. That inconsistency is the evidence of hand work, and it is why a border like this takes days rather than minutes. Pearls on menswear, does that work? They read as texture rather than jewellery. Pearl work sits matte against the fabric and catches light softly, which is a different effect from sequin shine or mirror sparkle. On a muted colour like lilac it comes across as considered rather than decorative. Lilac is unusual for men. Am I taking a risk? Some, and it depends on your crowd. In a room where most men are in cream, navy, or maroon, this will be noticed immediately. If you like that, it is the strongest argument for the piece. If you would rather blend in, the rust or black options in our range will serve you better. Where is this best worn? Daytime and early evening. Mehendis, haldis, engagement lunches, and day weddings suit it. The daaman work is also positioned low, which means it shows properly when you are standing and photographed full length rather than in a seated close-up. Is cotton blend a downgrade from silk at this price? Different rather than lesser. Cotton blend breathes better than silk and holds hand embroidery with less slippage, which matters on a piece where beads and pearls need a stable ground. For a long daytime function in Indian weather, it is the more practical choice. How careful do I need to be with the beadwork? Reasonably. Beads and pearls are individually anchored, so a single loose thread does not unravel a section, but they can catch. Sit down carefully in cars, avoid bag straps across the hem, and it will hold up across many wears. What footwear? Cream, beige, or soft grey. Silver-toned juttis pick up the pearl work nicely. Skip black and skip heavy brown, both fight the softness of the colour. Sizing? Your usual size. The body is unembroidered and moves freely, and the daaman sits below the hip where fit is not a factor.
