India is the leading country (along with Venezuela) when it comes to winning Miss World titles. Both countries have bagged 6 of those. However, India’s achievement is nowhere close, even remotely so, when it comes to the other end of the gender spectrum. For the longest time, we had been waiting for the Mr World title. We had almost given up, till it finally happened, courtesy a certain Mr Rohit Khandelwal. Rohit rose up to the occasion like a phoenix and became the first Asian man to win the Mr World title in 2016. Not only is he a good-looking man (duh!), he also clearly knows how to stay on top of his game with his impeccable sense of style. Here are 12 style lessons that every Indian man should learn from Rohit Khandelwal: 1. Pairing your blue denim shorts (or jeans) with a denim shirt of the same colour will make you look like a cover model. This is one look you have to try out even if you’re not fond of co-ords. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 2. Don’t be scared of bold prints. Big, bold prints can look absolutely flattering and manly if you know how to style it properly. The way Rohit has paired up his flamboyant shirt with those ripped jeans is spot on. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 3.Want to look fly AF at work meetings? Embrace the wonder that is Polo t-shirts. Tuck it in a well-fitting pair of chinos and pair it with a belt that goes with the shoes you are wearing. Thank us later. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 4. Experiment with patterns and prints, even with traditional attire. Don’t hold back. We can’t stop obsessing over this dense paisley print Achkan Rohit is wearing here. Inspiring? Hell yeah. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 5. Invest in several pairs of cuffed joggers. Why? Because they are comfortable, versatile, and look ultra stylish. A must-have for your wardrobe. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 6. Did you know how to transform a 3 piece suit into a dressy but not over-the-top ensemble using only 2 of its pieces? Here you go. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 7. Keep a fedora handy for when you want to look classy but don’t want to put in a lot of effort. Dress down and put it on. Voila! © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 8. Nehru jackets should be a staple when it comes to Indian ethnic wear. Plain white kurta pyjama, a vibrant pocket square, and a pair of smart oxfords – easy, yet stunning. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 9. There is no such thing as ‘too many colours’ when you understand colour palettes. Exhibit A. Also, a stylish bag can give your style game a whole new dimension. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 10. Are you still labouring under the misconception that formal wear has to be boring? Rohit is wearing the most basic formals ever – white shirt and black pants. Except there is absolutely othing ‘basic’ about how he is carrying it off. Get a good fit and pay attention to the minute details such as button patterns for an alluring look. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 11. Don’t shy away from experimenting with silhouettes. It can be something as basic as wearing an Achkan or a Bandhgala with the buttons undone. Given you pair it up with the right lowers (we love the checked pants Rohit is wearing here), it will surely turn heads. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77 12. A piece of advice we have been broadcasting for a long time but mostly in vain: Wear pink. Embrace this pretty colour, boys. It looks great on everyone.Try it, you will love it. © Instagram/rohit_khandelwal77
