Hi Adarsh,
Since it’s your sister’s wedding, I suggest you to opt something comfy as it’ll be a hectic day for you too! A sherwani is perfect for the occasion. And it’s summer so go for lighter fabric like cotton or cotton silk. You can try a jacket sherwani or an Indo-western sherwani. Find all the latest trends in sherwanis for 2017 here.
For your height, both plain and embroidered sherwanis would suit you. A plain sherwani with heavy embroidered duppata is in vogue this year and it complements your height. Try light pastels like off-white,sky blue, lavender or pale gold for summer.

If you want to try something new to stand out, then go for a sherwani and dhoti pant.

You can also go for pale green or royal colors like ruby red, blue, emerald green and pale silver as they would complement your skintone.
For a casual occasions like sangeet or engagement, a plain cotton sherwani with chooridar pants is ideal. You can also go for an Indo-western outfit like an embroidered jacket or suit, or try a heavy kurta.

Velvet suits and sherwanis are also very trendy and give a classy look. But opt velvet only for a late evening or night functions as it’s summer and you don’t want to make yourself uncomfortable!
