This ‘Russian red’ classic bandhgala with slim-fit trousers in merino wool (a fabric that can be worn all year round) works well as both a set and separates. The gold-plated, palm- tree-embossed buttons lend a touch of understated luxe, while the matching kota silk safa guarantees an impactful entrance.
For carefree days, do consider a whimsical pair of slip-ons that will also make a statement. These handcrafted, hand-painted, pure-velvet Pacman slippers were created for the very reason. Very retro, and very fun!
This brand is a beautiful blend of sustainable and exclusive, high-street fashion. This piece boasts a classic-print-gone-modern vibe. Wear this shacket as is, or pair it with minimalist pieces for maximum impact. COSMO Tip: The summer palette is looking gooooood, courtesy of sombre pastels, fit for the season. Juxtapose the softer hues against solid colours to create winning combinations.
Amalgamating two distinct craft elements—jamdani from West Bengal and ikat from Telangana—this sharp outfit is what eclectic style dreams are made of. Do pay attention to the styling here...making sure each piece stands out, yet blends seamlessly. Print On Print On Print > Everything
Oxford shoes might have been associated with a stiff, high-brow sense of style, but this classic pair with floral motifs will help you embrace both tradition and quirk. Pro tip: don’t save them for a special occasion for they’ll pair well with your casualwear, too.
This stone-washed, denim cap with Coca-Cola appliqué detail is the kind of nostagia-inducing stuff your 2020 wardrobe needs.
Part of the brand’s Upcycled collection, this piece is made from several other jackets and patches from used jeans, trousers, cargo pants et al...making this bomber jacket truly unique. COSMO Tip: Logos, slogans, and ’90s video-game motifs are all back with a bang, and come with just one rule: don’t wear all at once!
The bohemian patchwork detail has got a modern makeover, thanks to several designers who are using this technique to elevate simple pieces. This corduroy jacket is a testimony to that.
This minimalist kurta + pants set comes with an unexpected yet striking detail: a citrine panel. Adding a bright burst of colour to the look, Antar Agni proves that there is elegance in simplicity.
The athleisure trend is more than a trend; it’s a movement and a staple. And this look—where utility meets fashion—will make for every street-style star’s dream #OOTD!
Embrace the jumpsuit life! The monochrome, block-print gives this piece an edgy vibe, while the loafers add a touch of serious to an otherwise casual look.
Say hello to happy hues (and hope for a happier state of mind), courtesy of this screen-printed, rainbow-hued set. Made of 100% cotton, this set is for the man who isn’t afraid to experiment.
No-one would have thought earning your stripes would be this stylish! Made of handwoven cotton-silk, these camp, collared shirts are the sartorial version of nonchalance.
We don’t need to make a case for either belt bags, or slogan accessories... But what we do want to tell you about this functional fanny pack here is that it’s made of 100% vegan leather, and deserves space in your wardrobe. Cosmo Tip: Boys, it is time to embrace ‘sartorial madness’ and everything loud it brings along with it. Gone are the days when a man’s wardrobe was limited to blacks, whites, and blues... This season is all about the OTT prints and bright colours.
Um, the name says it all. This might be one of summer’s coolest shirts to own!
If you ever wanted to upgrade your average floral shirt for something fierce(r), this shirt is the one you need. Featuring a subtle, tie-dyed floral print with a generous sprinkling of black jaguar heads, this tough-guy version of the sweet shirt will turn heads.
Seems like everyone’s into the whole modern ‘kurta-pyjama look’. Kunal Anil Tanna’s uber-cool take, featuring a mesh-print pullover kurta with matching pants, is a fresh summer look that fits right into the grocery-shopping-and-then-hitting-the-pool-party vibe! If only we weren’t social distancing...
Param Sahib’s quirky aesthetics have found a comfortable home in his clothing line. Inspired by The Lion King—the beloved story book from our childhood—this is Param’s way of making a roaring style statement.
This brand upcycles scraps from mass-manufacturing garment factories to create high-street pieces. The Jaja shirt, here, in all its unisex glory, features reclaimed tatters of solid and wild-print scrap cloths. They might have been patched together, but the two cloths blend so seamlessly.
Everything that comes from the House of Raghavendra Rathore is every bit royal. This printed, maroon pocket square will add a charming touch to your suit/bandhgala.
This collaborative sports- and street-wear brand, started by brother-sister duo, Avni and Ambar Aneja, believes in challenging societal norms and speaking their mind through cloth and yarn. The look you see here features the Monemoji flannel + denim shirt with a felt embroidery patch—details you don’t often see together, but ones that make for a compelling case of rebellion fashion. The Cash Me Outside pants, on the other hand, are created with denim, suede, and flannel...another unlikely trio to have come together for aesthetic appeal.
Featuring classic Jaywalking elements, such as pop colours and a hand-patched thunder design running down both legs, this pair is the snazzier cousin of your comfy (read: basic) khakis.
The humble tie-dye has made it to international runways, and this paint-splattered hoodie makes for a stylish partner to your jeans.
By now, we have made a solid case for white and its pristine fam. Add an artistic print to the mix, and you have yourself a certified winner.
