STYLE AND GROOMING The year of studied indulgence

2012 is going to be the year of studied indulgence.

There are some very clear trends which one can see, especially in the men's luxury footwear segment. One of these is the use of vivid colours. The other trend which is starting to catch up fast is the use of exotic leathers even though they are banned in India. And then there is the classic shoe that is now becoming more relevant with sartorial elegance.

In terms of material, natural fabrics such as wool, silk, linen and their blends are in fashion.

To talk about design...well...slim shapes, very tailored. There is lots of mix and match of patterns such as plaids and stripes and floral prints, very “out there“.

Indian men are investing more time and money on grooming than even the women these days.
Grooming is more important than clothes and so it's high time they did so.

Style-wise, one can see the return of the “modern dandy“ .
