Amid Unlock 5, as more things are opening up, one can easily see a striking shift in our priorities in terms of how we approach things. 

There is a stark contrast in the pre-pandemic life and what life looks like right now. In terms of all the changes, we've also moved away from excessive, statement fashion and moved towards a more sustainable and functional approach.

Even in Bollywood, as celebrities have slowly started stepping out, we see how even street style looks drastically different this year. For instance, Rajkummar Rao is one of the celebrities whose sense of aesthetic was admired by most in the pre-lockdown days. 

As a fashion-forward actor, he's also a sneakerhead. Back in the day, for film promotions, he would make sure to step out in brow-raising chunky sneakers. However, these days his aesthetic has transitioned to functional and athletic instead.

Recently, when Rajkummar stepped out with Patralekha, he was spotted wearing a classic athleisure look. 

Here's what his outfit looked like:

He was wearing a vibrant solid blue Sando with black comfy track pants and a pair of Asics sneakers to complete the look. The sneaker silhouette was the Asics running shoe in blue and grey colourways. The sneaker is priced at Rs 13,899.

It's definitely a comfortable silhouette that proves to be an excellent choice for stepping out for chores amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than Rajkummar Rao, Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan too have shifted towards a more functional approach to fashion.

Now that Rajkummar Rao has resumed work, he will soon be seen in Ludo along with Fatima Sana Shaikh. This is going to be followed by projects like Badhaai Do, Chhalaang, and Roohi Afzana in the coming year.
