What should I wear to come shopping?

Something easy to change in and out of — leggings, a fitted top, athleisure. You will likely try on several things, and it makes the visit much quicker. Flat shoes you can slip off help too, especially if you are trying saris. One heads-up on colour: Indian celebrations run brighter than most Western dress codes, so come open to emerald, magenta, mustard and gold rather than navy and black.

What do I wear as a non-Indian guest to an Indian wedding or event?

Choose a modest, colorful outfit — a sari, lehenga, salwar kameez, sharara, or gharara. For weddings, avoid white and black (mourning colors) and avoid red unless you are the bride. For Diwali or garba, brighter and bolder is welcome. Come in, tell us the event, and you are out the door in 20 minutes.

Do you carry red bridal lehengas?

Not many. Traditional bridal red, maroon and burgundy is not what we stock deeply. What we do have: bridal lehengas in plum, emerald, navy, ivory and gold, and sarees in red with unstitched blouses you can have made to any shape you want.

What's a reasonable budget for a wedding-guest outfit?

Most guests spend $150 to $250 on a complete outfit — sarees, salwar kameez and lehengas all sit in that range, with the simpler pieces at the lower end. Individually: sarees from $150, salwar kameez from $100, lehengas from $200. Kids outfits are $50 to $125. No pressure, no upselling.

How long does a fitting take?

Many customers walk out in 20 minutes, brides included. You come in with a problem, we solve it that day. We are an efficient in-and-out store, not a two-hour bridal appointment atelier. Made-to-measure wedding party orders are the exception — those are placed online and take about three months.

Do you carry kids' and menswear?

Yes to both. Kids outfits for boys and girls run $50 to $125, with most between $50 and $75. Menswear: kurta pajamas $75 to $125, sherwanis from $250, jodhpuri suits and Indo-western outfits $250 to $350, vests from $100, bridal stoles around $100, and shoes $75 to $100.

Can I buy just a dupatta, blouse, petticoat, or accessory on its own?

Yes — we sell almost everything a la carte. Petticoats are $15, sari falls are $3, and turban cloth (pagri) is about $3.50 a yard. We also sell dupattas, skirts, blouses ready to wear in a range of sizes, fabric for tailoring, artificial jewelry, bangles, tikkas, and other accessories. Come in whether you need a whole outfit or just one missing piece.

Where are you located and when are you open?

18507 Pioneer Boulevard, Artesia, California 90701 — in Little India. Free rear-lot parking. Open Tuesday through Sunday until 6:45 PM. Closed Mondays.

Do you ship or offer virtual fittings?

For everyday shopping we are an in-person store — the point of visiting is trying things on, and you can DM us on Instagram beforehand so we set options aside. Wedding parties are different: bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits are made to measure and ordered online through our order forms, with about three months of lead time.

How much do mens Indian outfits cost?

Kurta pajamas are $75 to $125. Sherwanis start at $250. Jodhpuri suits and Indo-western outfits are $250 to $350. Vests start at $100, bridal stoles are around $100, and mens shoes are $75 to $100. Come in and try things on — most men are dressed in about 20 minutes.

Can you dress my whole bridal party — bridesmaids and groomsmen?

Yes. Bridesmaids choose a pre-draped sari or a pant suit, $150 to $200 each. Groomsmen get a kurta pajama with a vest, or just the vest. Everything is made to measure in one colour picked from our 294-thread card, so the whole party matches. You order online through our wedding party order forms and we confirm every line with you before anything is made.

How far ahead do I need to order bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits?

About three months. These are made to order and come from our supplier in India, so we will not promise a wedding date we cannot hit. If your date is closer than that, come into the store — we carry saris, lehengas and menswear in stock and have dressed whole parties off the floor in an afternoon.

Indo-Western Outfits for Men: Indian Style, a Familiar Fit

THE MEN’S GUIDE

Indo-Western outfits for men

Want to dress for an Indian celebration while still feeling like yourself?

LOVELEEN SARI PALACE · ARTESIA · SINCE 1990

Men’s Indo-Western outfits blend Indian details with familiar tailoring : think a stand-collar jacket and trousers, or a Nehru vest over a shirt you already own. At Loveleen Sari Palace in Artesia, you can try different looks on and get help choosing for your event.

Find your starting point

Browse the men’s looks in these showroom photos. Tap a photo to see the details.

Two easy ways to wear it

The complete look: a tailored jacket with coordinating trousers gives you a dressed-up silhouette with Indian detailing. Prefer softer layers? Try a jacket over a kurta. Sit down, move your arms, and see which feels most natural.

Start with what you own: bring your button-down shirt and trousers, and try a Nehru vest over them. One Indian piece can change the whole outfit. Bring your shoes too so you can judge the finished look.

For wedding guests, Diwali, and groomsmen

Indo-Western can work beautifully for a reception, sangeet, or Diwali party when it fits the invitation. Bring the dress code or a screenshot: we’ll help you navigate colour, formality, and any ceremony-specific requirements. For a broader overview, see our men’s Indian wedding outfit guide.

Putting together a groomsmen group? Start with the couple’s colours and one outfit direction, then check fit for each person. Explore our groomsmen outfit guide or start a wedding-party enquiry. Confirm current options and lead times before ordering.

Wear it again

You don’t need a new outfit for every invitation. A different shirt, trousers, or shoes can refresh a vest or jacket you already love. We can help you choose pieces with your next event in mind, too.

Planning a festival visit? Our Diwali outfit guide covers colours and occasion tips.

Come try on the outfits

See the colours, feel the fit, and try a few styles in our Artesia fitting rooms. We’ll help you find an outfit that feels right for you and your event. Walk-ins welcome.
