Man oh man, does Jassie Gill look dapper on MensXP's February Cover. Apart from the stunning and poised personality that he has, the factor that immensely added a nuanced layer to the aesthetic of the cover was the rather dope set of ensembles that we shot him in.

Nikle Currant, for our mid-month February cover star, the Gabbroo, @jassie.gill! Despite coming from an industry that flaunts wealth and fame, Punjabi-Popstar Jassie Gill retains most of the small-town charm and grit that propelled him to the peak of the genre and into the Bollywood spotlight.

With normcore as the guiding principle behind the sartorial aesthetics for the shoot, curating a wardrobe that would be on par with Jassie's personal style was certainly not easy. However, given that MensXP means all things style, we took it up as a challenge and got to work.

In case you too are looking to reinvent your personal style, or are thinking of expanding your wardrobe with some zany and dope ensembles and be a bonafide fashion icon, here's what Jassie wore for our cover.

The 'Always Ready To Party' Look

Who said night suits can only be worn to bed, or a steamy night stay? Amp up your style and turn heads at the next party you go to, with a basic, but dapper night suit. Like this striped white & navy blue one, from Dandelion.

Also, add a bit of flair to your suit, by pairing it with a contemporary jacket, such as this yellow banana crepe jacket, from Two Point Two.

The 'Seasoned Player' Look

Playing around with prints, patterns and colours may seem challenging, especially if you want to keep things classy and not go completely berserk. For your base, always keep things simple and go for a classic and basic t-shirt, like this one from MensXP Basics.

To off-set the sombreness of the t-shirt, pair it with this zany neon green relaxed fit cargos from HOS. After all, you can't really go wrong with neon.

Finally, throw in a quirky jacket, that sits in perfect harmony with your ensemble. A printed one, like this black & white semi crepe jacket from Two Point Two, is our go-to piece.

The 'Summer Is My Season' Look

Say what you will, dressing up with panache in summers has its advantages. You get to play around with a plethora of colours, which simply make you look super dope, and you get to play with silhouettes that enunciate your physique.

The yellow & red striped slim fit shirt from True Rug is a dapper way to strengthen the base of your outfit. Plus, as a standalone piece, it surely has the ability to turn heads.

To add a bit of nuance as well as character to your outfit, pair the yellow shirt with a darker, but playful one, like we did, using the Estetico - a black printed cotton shirt from Prime Porter, that adds a ton of character to any ensemble that it is a part of.

Finally, for your lowers, go for a subtle and simple pair of trousers, like this pair of white, handwoven jute cotton trousers, which helps keep things normal and breezy.

The 'Coqueish Savant' Look

Certain men just have an air of confidence and an inherently natural sense of style. With Jassie being one such man, there, of course, had to be one ensemble that oozed style and panache. 

For this flirtatiously cool, dapper savant appeal that we wanted to recreate for Jassie, we decided to dress him, with this dopey looking, blue floral printed oversized shirt from HOS.

This was paired with a co-ord set of off-white corduroy jacket and trousers, again from HOS, which, when layered with the blue shirt, blended seamlessly to create one heck of an ensemble. 

The blue oversized pockets on the jacket, give it a very technical appeal, whereas the silhouette and the colour of the jacket, help in accentuating the groovy nature and zaniness of the shirt.
