It's Pret(ty) Haute!

Men's fashion has been at the forefront of the Indian scene for a while now, though not in the same league as women's fashion.

Pret to Haute



There is a brand for every market segment from top-notch exclusive designer wear to mass-market labels. And, with designer tags like J.J. Valaya, Rohit Bal, Cue, Ravi Bajaj influencing the fashion scene, there's no two ways about copies or replicas filtering down to the main stream of the masses.

A look for every occasion



The fashion scene for men in India is definitely a lot more exciting than ever before. There's a kind of look for almost every occasion.



Party Wear



The general trend for men on the party circuit reflects a vibrant, sensual look with young wannabes sporting ultra tight and body hugging tees.

The Provogue label is an exciting and refreshing blend of modern fabrics and styles aimed at a younger and more youthful segment. Even trousers have a sleeker silhouette in unconventional and unique colours like camel, prints and two-toned palettes.

Psychedelic prints, lycra and transparent shirts are the 'in' things for those in the social scene.

Evening Wear



Club and evening wear lean towards a more distinguished and refined look, more or less restricted to a mature, aware and older age group. Cargos, Golfing strides, Khakis and linen blends, are the preferred choice for many on this wavelength. The Dockers brand is just that and aims at a more well versed market.

Work Wear


A crisp, corporate look dominates the work wear arena with cutting edge style and precision.

Shoes


This season Red Tape, the popular shoe brand has introduced square-toed shoes for a distinct look incorporated with various trimmings like the infamous silver buckles!

Accessories


Watches and accessories are dominated by black and silver in dull matte finishes. The brands to 'watch' out for are Swatch, Esprit, and Titan.
