1. Stripe it up

This slimming and versatile pattern is easy to dress up or down, switching between boardroom stiffness and weekend attitude, depending on how you style them. The vertical stripes are sharp and high contrast, sitting best under a denim jacket.

2. Second skin

Why go basic with your leather jacket when you can turn heads? Great for showcasing broad shoulders, you can opt for a thicker leather like this one from Polo Ralph Lauren. The colour mix will also accentuate what you don’t have.

10. Make a statement

Sneakers, Louis Vuitton, Rs 92,500

Why wear a plain boring shirt this weekend when you can wear one with horses on them? This one will give your good old denim pants a fresh new look. You can also team them with a blazer or leather jacket if you’re heading to a gig at the weekend.

11. Play hide and seek

The key to mastering this print is simple: Employ it sparingly. Camo is very easily overdone, so we suggest you start with just one printed piece – this shirt for example is a smart statement start. Anything that could be considered a wardrobe staple will have no trouble getting along with your military-inspired shirt.
