Decades of swag: The style statements of Salman Khan

Salman Khan has always had the ability to make even the simplest style elements iconic – whether it was the leather jacket in Maine Pyar Kiya or the cool aviator sunglasses in Dabangg. Even off screen, his casual Being Human T-shirts and the signature bracelet he often sports have become widely popular. He’s also been a trendsetter of sorts with his hairstyle (Tere Naam) and unmistakable dance moves.

The Dabangg move

Salman’s cool Dabangg sunglasses, worn with effortless swagger on the back, also became an instant style statement. The belt move became a craze too, and was widely copied, turning into a signature dance move synonymous with Chulbul Pandey’s fearless attitude.

The iconic turquoise bracelet

Salman began wearing the turquoise stone bracelet in the early 1990s and has rarely been seen without it – on-screen, at events and in daily life. The bracelet remains one of the most copied Bollywood accessories, sold widely and worn by fans.

Tere Naam hairstyle

Salman’s long, centre-parted hairstyle in Tere Naam became quite a talking point, especially among young fans in small towns and colleges. The look is still remembered as one of Bollywood’s most popular hairstyle trends.

Jackets and caps

Salman’s cap in Maine Pyar Kiya became a rage in those days. His leather jackets, especially in the early ’90s, too, became a style statement.
