When it comes to accessorising, most men are left scratching their head, thinking what to wear exactly. That is assuming if they want to accessorise at all. However, there are a few men from Bollywood who go all guns blazing and wear something really outlandish, that is bound to turn heads.

Maniesh Paul, India's de facto television host, happens to be one of them.

Time and again, he has been spotted in some of the most outlandishly expensive things - be it a backpack that's worth more than 4 months of our salary, or these sneakers which cost more than Rs 55,000.

This time though, he was spotted with the most unusual of men's accessory, which costs more than a round trip to London's Heathrow Airport from New Delhi, plus a two-year visitor's visa to UK.

Maniesh is wearing a belt bag, or, as it is popularly called, a fanny pack from Gucci in hibiscus red leather, and normally goes for $1,290. That's about Rs 90,000 for those of us who did not pay attention in our maths classes.

Other than the fact that this is a quintessential Gucci piece, what makes this fanny pack so expensive, is the fact that it is hand made, using the finest textured leather, and has a very “retro” appeal to it.

To put the cost into perspective, a round trip flight to London's Heathrow will cost you about Rs 52,000, if you fly Etihad. Throw in the cost of a visitor's visa to the UK worth Rs 33,000, and you get a grand total of Rs 85,000.

Now that's an expensive way to make a statement.

Also, we couldn't help but notice the sneakers that Maniesh is wearing. The multicoloured sneakers which look like they have just jumped out of a toddler's colouring book are the Atmos x Nike Air Max2 Lights, and normally retail for about $536 or Rs 40,000.

What really sets the sneakers apart from the rest of the stuff that we've seen this year, is the vibrancy and the seemingly haphazard colour seem which also seems to be the theme of the sneakers. Honestly, this is one of the best pairs of coloured sneakers that we have seen this year.

Seems one heck of a way to go on and about as sneakerhead if you ask us.
