The bandana has always been a staple when it comes to making a playful style statement. 

No matter how it's worn - be it around the head, like it's intended to, or around the neck as a scarf, it always manages to turn a rather 'bland' outfit into something funky. 

Clearly, some celebs like our own Jackie Shroff still swear by it. However, Sidharth Malhotra just devised a whole new way of using the bandana as an accessory, at a place no one would have thought of. Take a look.

Sidharth just stepped out with two red bandanas tied around his sneakers. Now, that's something we have never seen before. Who'd have thought you could tie bandanas around your perfectly stylish sneakers and actually make it look like a style statement?

But the occasion was the 20th anniversary bash of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', and everything had to be 'filmy' in there, including style statements. Clearly, Sidharth didn't miss the memo for that.

When it comes to the rest of his outfit, though, we love the ensemble. The Diesel trousers along with the hooded jacket pair perfectly, and the bold but minimalistic white stripe detailing is giving it a super funky runway vibe. We love the black and white tone of the outfit (which the red bandana is complementing perfectly).

All we can say is, if this ends up becoming a trend tomorrow, you know whom to thank.
