Mochi Men Mojaris - Walking the traditional path

The mojari is a style of footwear that is handcrafted. Traditionally made using tanned leather, the footwear is bonded using a cotton thread. This measure ensures that the fabrics are stitched together firmly.

Over centuries, this footwear style has evolved to offer numerous options for both men and women. However, in this article, we shall have a look at the range of men's mojaris. While the style is particularly well-known in India, various variants of men's mojaris have been found across South Asia.

Difference between Jutti and Mojari for Men

Traditionally, footwear styles like mojaris and juttis were worn by the elite, especially the royal families in northern India. They are also referred to as Saleem Shahi's since the footwear style became well-known during the reign of Emperor Jahangir, who was also known as Saleem Shahi. However, as time passed by, both mojaris and juttis for men became popular among the common people.

The difference between women and men’s mojaris and juttis lies in the coverage they offer. The former is a closed shoe with an extended curled toe, and the latter features an open front. Also, juttis were commonly worn by women and mojaris were worn by men in the past. But things have evolved as mojari for women, and jutti for men are also being crafted in the market.

How to pair outfits with Mojaris for Men?

Considering that men’s mojaris have been around for years now, they have had quite an impact on the fashion scene in India. Hence, we shall be exploring some of the popular ways to pair outfits with these ethnic shoes:

  • Men’s mojaris pair well with most north Indian outfits. Ones with simple designs suit the kurta pyjama look. Whereas, for grander occasions such as weddings, the embellished ones are preferred with bright, shiny sherwanis.
  • In case you are trying out an Indo-fusion look, opt for kurtas with jeans and pair them with men’s mojaris. Both simple and dressier versions of mojaris would go well with the look; just keep the detailing on the kurta in mind while styling them.
