Check Mate

We aren’t a fan of hooded shirts but of the lot, we’ve got to give Sameer first preference for wearing his checks well. Coming in second was Kunal, who went a rather casual route but then let’s keep in mind that he was merely attending a college event.

But, what excuse does Mr. Deol have for a rather dowdy appearance in his checked shirt. Yes, we know, the brand he became an ambassador of deals in casual wear but this appearance was bordering more on the just-rolled-out-bed side.

A Worse Off Face Off

It’s not like we like either Abhay or Atul in this half formal-half casual attire of theirs but if we had to pick a worse off one, it had to be Atul in his shiny coat and silver shoes. What about for you?

Sporting The Skinny

Call me old fashioned or perhaps it has to do with watching daddy dearest for years dress up in suits for work but I love the basic tie. Years of watching Dad make perfect triangle at the neck can do that to you. In fact, now I sometimes do it for the better half, thanks to the occasional practice on Dad.

These days, the skinny tie has become quite a favorite and at the premiere of their movie, both Abhay and Harman wore skinny ties with their suits. If I really really had to pick, Abhay’s grey suit would be my pick just because he had a better suit on. Who do you prefer. Either or neither?

Velvet Hook(ed)

After seeing the Sr. Bachchan don the velvet jacket/denims look time and again (and again! ), you can’t blame us for getting a wee bit put off by the look only because we were subjected to it so much (see here). And, while we can’t say we particular like the stark contrast of Sonu’s black velvet jacket and the light denims, I guess, just seeing new people don the look makes it refreshing. We especially can’t help but love Abhay’s greenish-black/gray combo. (Or, is it their cute grins that’s blinding us?)

Who do you prefer more?

The cast of ‘Dev.D’ attended a photocall session at the 66th Venice International Film Festival today in their casual avatars. Here’s hoping they up the glam quotient at the screening!
