Durga Puja fashion: Gentlemen, don't miss these stylish outfit ideas
As Durga Puja approaches, it is time for celebrations with food, friends, family, and, of course, fashion. While fashion choices can be challenging, they are even more daunting during special occasions, especially for men with limited options. Staying on-trend is both exciting and tricky, but with these style recommendations from Mansi Kshatriya, design director at Brand Studio Lifestyle, you're sure to turn heads.
Deep-hued Mandarin shirts
Mandarin shirts in deep hues can be adapted to various styles with ease. Explore shades like maroon, brown, rust, mustard, deep teal, black, or white. Pair them with chinos or lounge-fit linen trousers. Ideal for Pujo dinners or pandal hopping, you can elevate your outfit with metallic accessories. Wear sandals for a fusion style or loafers for a dressier appearance, suggests Kshatriya.
Indie printed shirts
If you love patterns, go for shirts with Indie prints which come in a variety of colors. These trendy shirts bridge the traditional and the modern. The perfect pair of pants would ideally be contrast-toned, wide-legged or straight-fit. "Tucked in with a belt, the look is very party-ready; while tucked out, and paired with sandals the look is very 'East meets West'," notes Kshatriya.
Dark floral print shirts
"When prints are the trend, can floral prints be far behind? This long-lasting fashion trend of floral printed casual shirts is bohemian, beachy and sophisticated all rolled into one," expresses Kshatriya. Dark floral printed shirts look stunning when paired with dark regular-fit trousers or jeans, metallic accessories like chains, rings, and watches and no-fuss loafers.
Bandana print oversized shirts
Kshatriya believes Havana collars, bandana prints, and oversized elements is a winning combo that can make one stand out in a crowd. This look goes well with wide-legged trousers or deep-toned denims. Adding chunky watches, statement sunglasses, sleek metallic jewelry, and sneakers enhances the look. Additionally, Kshatriya suggests that those interested in twinning can embrace this unisex trend to match with their significant others.
Textured bases
Kshatriya notes that textured bases are a must-have trend this season. From crinkly to pop-corn structures, these shirts cut in oversized styling are quite the rage. It's a prevailing street style, blending retro with high fashion. "When paired with loose-fit jeans, or baggy cargos, the look is on-point. Since this look channelizes streetwear, the emphasis is on chunky accessories," explains Kshatriya.
