Firecrackers are very, very normal in the festive season. And so are Nehru jackets, Bandhgala suits, Angrakhas (cc: Shahid's Padmavati one) or for most men—long/short kurtas. However, personally, we're obsessed with the Nehru jacket. It can be dressed down, dressed up, customised in every way and can even walk parallel to its most formal cousin, the bandhgala suit. But last night, our interest in the piece was absolutely unparalleled. Reason being: Hrithik Roshan's recent outfit that featured a stellar Nehru jacket x Angrakha pedigree, left a stunner down Indian menswear for us.

From Manish Malhotra to Kunal Rawal, literally everyone's been on the Nehru jacket parade for years now. And since it's inception, there's never been a dearth of this ethnic wear staple at stores. Plus, there's velvet, silk, 100% cotton, mixed race with Angrakhas or Sherwanis, just so many interpretations the jacket comes in these days. And let's not forget, celebrities adore wearing it. But that's not what's important here, at least as far as Mr. Roshan's outfit is concerned.

If it hasn't hit you yet, there's a lot to love about Hrithik's outfit here. Let's begin with his top half—flap over detailing, a very unusual pop colour for a late evening outing, asymmetrical kurta and a small patch of fabric casually resting around his left shoulder. Phew...but great! The bottom half too, isn't far behind. His bottoms, to begin with, are neither too wide legged nor slim-fitted, but aren't looking odd at all. Having said that, the footwear pairing is our favourite aspect about this outfit! Not a very bold choice of colour, but blue oxford shoes with a pop yellow ethnic jacket is a smart choice, we must say.
