No one does casual wear better than Ranbir Kapoor. There, I said it. There’s this effortlessness about his looks, as if he just picks up items off the floor and throws them on and like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle they tessellate. Case in point being his get-up at the launch of “Aa Re Aa Re” song from Besharam.

Clad in a two-tone bomber jacket from Gucci‘s Pre-Fall 2013 collection, denims, Balenciaga patchwork contrast panel trainers and a whimsical watch, he was the epitome of cool.

I love the way jeans fit him all the time – like they are simply hugging his body.

And oh, check out his Spiderman watch – cute, no?

So yeah, I did a little digging to find out who the stylist is behind the impressive casual looks – turns out, he doesn’t have any. Yes, friends, that’s all him – and my theory about his dressing up ritual is not too far off, either. Here’s what he has to say:

I don’t have a personal stylist. I pick and wear whatever I find in my cupboard. My mom shops for me, but she still thinks I’m an eight-year-old kid who wears one particular thing. I guess with time and age, you develop your own sense of style.

I take four and a half minutes to get ready; three and a half in the shower and another minute to take my clothes from the sofa where it’s all strewn.

Well impressed I am!
