I’m more about the fit; I’ve always been more about the fit! I don’t care much for brands.

I unlike many guys my age, love to dress formally and it works for me too, because my day is often equally shared with business related work and modelling related meetings. I can’t be changing in between all of them and so I wear something that works for both.

My formal look is all about khaki pants or well-structured trousers often paired with a crisp white shirt and a season-specific blazer.

My trousers are extremely important to me and I love trousers that narrow down at my ankle. They should be spacious around the waist and thigh and wonderfully fitting around the ankle. I stick to denims and cottons and love some of the pieces I own from River Island, Scotch & Soda and a few pieces recently designed for me by a Bangalore based designer.

When it comes to shirts, as I said it’s all about the pure whites and Zara gives me the greatest fit this side of the world.
 Otherwise I am an Armani freak and love the stuff they make.

I am a huge travel person and love to wear most of my accessories when I travel. I choose between a well-crafted stole or a muffler depending on where I’m heading to and always wear watches that complement everything else I’m wearing. I own a watch by Domoskenos in diamonds and gold and that’s my favourite.

Blazers are however the item of clothing that defines me. Being in Mumbai, I am not often allowed to wear anything woollen, so I stick to the cottons and linens. I am a huge fan of some of the pieces from Hugo Boss and Cavalli.

At home, when I don’t need to dress up, I’m usually in denims and a t-shirt, but when I’m really relaxing, then it’s just boxers for me.

Shoes are definitely an indulgence and I usually prefer boots and loafers. My favourite brands would be Stacy Adams for the laced variety of loafers, Adidas for my sportswear and casual loafers and Aldo for my boots.

Style to me is something intrinsic and you keep revamping it and adding to it as you evolve and grow as a person. My style keeps evolving too, but the basics always remain the same.
