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

Checkmate
1/9

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

2/9

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

Geek chic
3/9

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

Denim Dandy
4/9

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

Military charm
5/9

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

Casual chic
6/9

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

Wine toned
7/9

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

Shades of grey
8/9

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

9/9

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.
