* Khadi pants, denim/checked shirts and denim jackets in dark shades with boro, shashiko and patchwork are unconventional and uniquely stylish. Designers are experimenting with denims more than ever before. People will find quirky embroidery, floral embroidery, and embroidered patch over no-stretch denims.

* Customised jeans are the one-stop solution for those who are always on the lookout for a perfect fit. In addition to the basic staples, go for darker tones on denim as they are versatile and can be paired easily with crisp white, checked, blue, grey, or pastel shirts.

* Cotton stretch chinos with leather jackets like hood, biker or bomber jackets make for really cool outfit. They have been in trend for past couple years and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

* Invest on henleys, T-shirts, polos, biker jeans, denim shirts and jackets. Balance it out with the right accessories and footwear and you are good to go.
