The Nehru Jacket is one of those rare garments that can either make you look super classy, or extremely basic. 

We all have numerous uncles who have Nehru jackets as their go-to outfits for every occasion, but we definitely don't want that particular aesthetic as our inspiration. What we want, is a way to make them look sophisticated, without 'trying too hard' - just like Vicky Kaushal did recently. 

He stepped out wearing a subtle olive-moss Nehru jacket, that can serve as an inspiration for anyone who wants to nail a classy Nehru jacket outfit.

Here are 3 simple, seemingly trivial but important things that can ensure that:

1. Make sure you wear a pocket square and try to match that to the colour of your shirt. Also, avoid wearing extremely vibrant shades, as they don't quite go with the subtlety of the silhouette.

2. You can choose to wear a shirt with a regular collar or a mandarin collar (the latter is preferred), but make sure the collar is tucked inside if you're wearing a regular collar, just like Vicky is here.

3. For a relaxed, casual aesthetic, undo the top buttons of the jacket, just like Vicky. For a more formal, festive aesthetic, do up all the buttons, all the way to the top. This can help you transition from 'formal' to 'casual' in a jiffy.

4. When it comes to accessories, keep it simple and classy. A pair of classy sunnies is a must. You can also wear a watch that compliments your look. Go with brogues, loafers, or even monk-straps, depending on the overall aesthetic.
