Black is black, after all! From red carpet events to dinner dates, this smart casual style topped with a velvet jacket is a win-win

Rahul Dev: “This black velvet jacket is by designer JJ Valaya, a very dear friend of mine. He used to intern with Rohit Khosla, who got me into the modelling business. Both of us have a very strong spiritual connect. This look is very classic in my opinion”

Why keep floral prints only for beach holidays? Try this salmon suit with a soothing print and a unique silhouette, to stand out from the crowd

Rahul Dev: “This is by designer Suket Dhir. Frankly, clothes look good on me when they are wellfitted. I’m not saying muscle man tees, but I mean slim-fitted stuff looks better on me. This one’s a bit boxy. The print is the reason I like it because it’s rare for men to wear them. I find it cool... I especially like the buttons which lend a very vintage touch”

Most times, keeping your style easy and simple is the best to reflect a relaxed mood

Rahul Dev: “I am a blue jeans and white linen shirt, or a white t-shirt person. That’s what I am. I have just this one pair of torn jeans. It’s from Emporio Armani, and the T-shirt is also from the same brand. It’s this Club Monaco jacket here that’s super special to me. It is a gift to me from my spiritual master, and so it makes it a divine jacket for me. When I miss something, I wear this”
