If you find yourself wearing shorts on most days in summer, you've definitely worn the linen suit at least once in your life. City or lounge shorts get too casual after a point and chinos/trousers choke you in the heat. Enter linen trousers, that could easily eliminate all the mentioned woes. Now throw in the concept of tailored dressing and you'd find that a linen suit too, exists. Basically, the breathe-free fabric is a style uniform today. Come summer, high temperatures or maybe just a humid evening in Mumbai, linen simply becomes a winning choice. 

Actor, mad hatter and chill-AF clothing king—Rajkummar Rao knows exactly what we're talking about here. Case in point: Last evening, the man was out and about promoting his film 'Newton', in an off-white H&M linen suit, with a Selected Homme floral shirt and West Coast leather sandals to complete the outfit.

If we may, this is also what summer-meets-fall looks like—especially where the colour palette is concerned. The floral shirt, reminding of a cold, dark winter day, also stands for why 'monotone companions' are ingredients to a style win. While the suit possesses a hue of its own, the rest of the accompaniments are of a monotone palette. Just a tone here and there maybe, but they almost belong to each other here.

But that's not the award we're giving away here. Mr. Rao's sartorial ability of turning a summer outfit into a transitional weather uniform is what's most commendable here. Which brings us to the conclusion: this man too, has started out-dressing himself. He has, now, joined the rare fleet of Bollywood actors who're absolutely in-sync with the biggest trends in the west.

If this outfit is any indication, we hope we're not seeing rain wear in the months of December.
