Ranbir Kapoor's personal style epitomizes sprezzatura. We revisit some of his dapper looks on his birthday.
What keeps Ranbir Kapoor ahead of the style curve is the fact that he never skips a style beat, no matter what!
Should we credit this to his Kapoor genes or just a polished upbringing? Perhaps a bit of everything! One look at his pap shots pouring in and one can easily deduce that he never comes across as too put together. His ensembles always feel of-the-moment and always flash an unmistakable sporty streak.
An avid football player, Ranbir always manages to inject a dose of athleticism to any of his looks. He's been partial to sneakers, baseball caps and hoodies. Even when he's wearing a formal suit, there's a, unaffected, rakish nonchalance to it.
Here are some of his coolest looks which effortlessly took him from AM to PM.
1. Checkmate
Ranbir looks every bit the boy next door in this gingham check shirt, baseball cap look. His penchant for comfort chic is evident as he opts for a pair of comfy sneakers. The floral motif on the shirt and the on-trend camouflage style shoes say on-trend.
2. Desi Dude
Walking the ramp for friend Kunl Rawal at Lakme Fashion Week, Ranbir opts for tonal layering from head-to-toe. The shiny double buckled Monk Strap sneakers add to the matching finish.
3. Geek chic
Ranbir clearly harbours a liking for the timeless classic, Star Wars as he opts for this t-shirt with a robot print. A chronograph watch, a pair of drawstring, relaxed-fit sweatpants and sneakers - all say comfort above style.
4. Denim Dandy
Ranbir Kapoor breaks the monotony of this all-black attire by layering it with a denim jacket. The white shirt which is left untucked here adds to his preppy, college boy appeal.
5. Military charm
Ranbir Kapoor shows his militant side with a pair of reflector sunnies, a military jacket and khaki pants. The three-toned sneakers add to the sporty allure.
6. Casual chic
Ranbir has always been the metaphor for effortless cool and he's essentially a t-shirt and denims guy. He's lean and athletic and pulls off the t-shirt look rather well. The Rolling Stone t-shirt and matching black denims bring to mind his amazing portrayal of a doomed Rockstar.
7. Wine toned
Ranbir Kapoor looks dapper in this wine-toned Dior homme suit. Again instead of wearing the suit with a tie or a bowtie (which many of his ilk would have done), he pairs it with a comfy black, round-neck t-shirt and black shoes
8. Shades of grey
Rocking SS Homme label, Ranbir pairs his grey suit, which had a shawl collar with a open-collar black shirt and a polka dotted pocket square. How he finds that delicate balance between panache and practicality is commendable.
9. Man in black
We love how he breaks the monotony of this all-black look with a pair of high-top lace-up sneakers. The Givenchy sweatshirt with artfully done textures bring out his playful side.
