When it comes to fashion, Shahid Kapoor is always politically, fashionably and experimentally correct. He's desi, he's contemporary, and he's the guy your woman will never get enough of (unfortunately!) At ex-Bigg Boss, Mandana Karimi's sangeet ceremony with businessman fiancé, Gaurav Gupta—the ‘Rangoon’ actor chose to wear Anita Dongre separates with—wait for it—patent leather monk-straps!  

These two cool cats for @mandanakarimi's sangeet yesterday.. @shahidkapoor in @anitadongre , @mira.kapoor in @rimple_harpreet_narula and earrings by @maheshnotandas #shahidkapoor #nofilter #sangeet #indiandoneright

With his life's leading lady in tow (who was wearing Rimple & Harpreet Narula), Shahid's choice in footwear was Indian wear paired technically wrong—but done surprisingly right! 

Pro-Tip: Patent leather shoes are breathers when pitched against smooth leather variants. However, they call for more maintenance and attention like your girlfriend! Every time you venture out donning this high-shine pair, return back home, grab a cleaning rug and a bottle of mineral oil, and introduce your footwear to silky-smooth perfection!
