Let's be honest—fashion week is all about clothes, designer wear, FROW seats and maybe a few fake compliments here and there. But everything's merry and frolic, until the mug starts to look messy in public. You can't be hopping around in the #1 piece of the season, with a hairy mess covering your face! But safe to say, these men down here have absolutely aced the game. From Abhishek Paatni's aesthetically done jungle mess to Arunoday Singh's 3-day-old stubble, each of these boys have flexed it just right. Boys and men, presenting our 10 grooming moves from day 1 at Lakme Fashion Week 2017.

1. Sikander Kher's Snipped Handlebar

Sikander Kher just did what the rest of us couldn't—snip the handlebar on either sides to flatter his face. Brave move, and a terrific one. 

2. Mark Luburic's Side (Burn) Moment

Yes, sideburns exist and absolutely love a playful day. Don't be scared to let your freak fly! 

3. Gyaltsen Chodar's Clean-Green Risk

Lesson 101: The season of summer could almost be over, but it's never a bad time to shave that sh*t. Beards are great, but you could use some change.  

4. Elton Fernandez's Partial Ducktail

He could be a hair and make-up artist, but that doesn't stop him from being his own personal client. The brows, his version of a makeshift duck tail beard, just wow!

5. Jackky Bhagnani's Amchi-Bombay Beard

Bombay boy + Bollywood actor is almost like a combo done right. And with this grooming move here, Jackky just passed our Fashion week litmus test.

6. Daniel Franklin's Central-Messy Fade

Trust a stylist to mix two grooming trends together and absolutely nail it. Daniel's mane is basically our everyday mood—gotta stay in bed but always appear au courant.

7. Tenzing Dakpa's Flys

Well, to be honest, we hadn't imagined a photographer to arouse any OCD troubles. Those strands on either sides of his baseball cap, if I may—are peeping quite randomly. But can we say, they look good anyway? Let's just say that.

8. Abhishek Paatni's Mug-Rug Moment

You know those times, when you're actually a lazy bum but want to maintain a beard? Yeah, that sounds like most of us. But well, only a few perfect the art of doing it right. Mr. Paatni is one of them!

9. Arunoday Singh's Buzzcut

Maybe a little grown by now, but Arunodoy if you're listening—we don't picture you in any other form than in this splendid buzzcut. This David Beckham-approved hairstyle is giving us LIFE!

10. Sanjeet Singh's Realistic Grooming Moment

Saving the last for the most realistic, model Sanjeet is basically all of us lesser mortals in real life—messy, but with the ambition of appearing well-groomed in public. Pro-Tip: Even if the rug's messy, pull your mane back to balance the unnecessary scruff on the face.
