If you're any close to being a sartorial aficionado or well-versed with know-hows of formal dressing, you'd know the right length of a necktie: ending at the belt line or maybe just a little past. Nothing further. Well, we're delighted to announce that SSR just passed with flying colours in this aspect. A humble standing ovation please.

So here's the thing: unless you're a school-going Billy and even today, hanging your neckties a little too loose, there's no way your collar needs a damn breather with a tie. Plus, thoughtfully, when you're suiting up for a prolific red-carpet event, you can't be succumbing to formal wear sloppiness. While Mr. Rajput resorted to the former mentioned statements at the Lux Golden Rose Awards anyway, we're not complaining—his necktie skills are hidden gems of the globe.

Additionally, while he's worn a great-fitted three piece suit here (and given the belt a miss), he didn't evade the opportunity of paying attention to detail. And personally, we love the little necktie peek-a-boo at the intersection of his belt line and suit jacket closure. It's neither peeking too much for annoyance during peeing business, nor acting too sneaky to appear like a necktie length mistake. Big ups here!

O'Keeffe double monk straps here. Clearly stating, that as opposed to institutional theories calling oxford and derby shoes as red-carpet constants, owing to a few recent A-list appearances, they've clearly been replaced with double or single leather monk straps. They look equally good, in fact much better, so we're not complaining.

Another quick trick that has worked for SSR here is the classic colour way of his solid, three-piece suit. Yet, thanks to his stylists' knack of colour-scheme-excellence, the green necktie is complimenting it's way through boss-level badassery too. In conclusion, a question: can he ever go wrong?
