Guys, if you always thought that you needed to break the bank to look the part, you might want to check out Ayushmann Khurrana’s get-up to the GQ Bar Night recently. Clad in all high street labels, he was THE most dapper hombre of the night.

Where Ranveer Singh failed with his Louis Vuitton x Chapman Brothers jacket, Ayushmann triumphed with its high-street iteration — and the credit, I suppose, lies with his stylist, Shreeja Rajgopal. I loved that she exercised restraint and kept the rest of the look basic to let the floral print Noose & Monkey x Topman blazer shine.

But, if it were I, I’d have omitted the pocket square even — for maximum visual impact of the print. Still, this look was a masterclass on how to have fun with the smart casual look — without dropping a bomb in your bank account, of course.

P.S. The Dune shoes that Ayushmann wore is now on sale!
