“Looking good is like plating well”

Fashion is... Functional and multi-dimensional. I opt for attire that carries me through a multi-faceted schedule, which is almost every day!
5 essentials of a man’s wardrobe- A good pair of jeans and joggers, crisp white shirt and shirt-style kurtas, scarves in versatile colours, a well-fitted tailored jacket and semi-formal shoes.
My everyday outfit- Easy, breezy kurtas or shirts in breathable, sustainable fabrics with comfortable trousers and a jacket on reserve – for any unexpected meetings.
My shopping strategy- Call my designer friends, tell them what I am looking for and wait for them to interpret that into clothes.
A grooming tip- Skincare is a must – something men take for granted. A good vitamin C serum is a must-do routine.
A style trick- Wear Punjabi juttis – they are a statement and yet can be muted.
A fashion trend I hate- I am not really a big fan of accessorising with beads, a good watch is all you need.
A fashion trend I love- The whole idea of athleisure and also cropped and short trousers. They are lazy yet functional, crisp and effective.
Fashion blunder- Long socks with cropped pants.
Style philosophy- Keeping it casual and effortless. And respecting and wearing natural fabrics and helping Indian artisans and farmers.
My grooming essential- My beard-trimmer – taking good care of my beard is important to me.
A fashion advice someone gave me- Looking good is like plating well. Put too much in the composition, and nothing stands out. Think effortless yet effective.
A skincare advice that my mom passed on- Ubtan. As kids we used to get in line to get a good scrub. Even now, whenever I get a chance I do the ubtan routine.
My airport look- It has to be comfortable, typically athleisure. I do formals only when I am flying straight into a meeting.
My guilty indulgence- Clothes and shoes definitely.
