It’s Diwali and it’s not always about the ladies! This year gifting options are plenty for those who want to splurge. Fashion guru Prasad Bidapa believes the complete look is what one should strive for whether it is in Western or Indian

wear. “A narrow well-fitted black suit is really the flavour of the season,” he says adding, “It’s perfect to wear for evenings paired with a crisp white shirt.” It can make anyone look slim.” The Collective, Burberry, Zegna are the places to shop for your man this Diwali.
A look is never complete without a perfect pair of shoes and the stylist recommends Paul Smith and Tod’s to pick a pair from.
For the ethnic look, a Rohit Bal bandgala is always a favourite. “It’s made so beautifully that it makes every man look well turned out,” adds Prasad.
For fragrance, the stylist recommends Tom Ford’s latest which could make a great gift.
For accessories, Prasad advises to keep it simple. “If it’s one item, then an India-inspired Armani scarf in cashmere stands out.” Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna have a lovely collection of India inspired collection of jackets and matching stoles.
These amazing looks for men start from `15,000 for a stole, the narrow suits from international brands are from `75,000 onwards and the shoes, around `30,000.
