Vicky Kaushal may seem to be a fashion recluse, who dresses in a rather mild manner. However, the truth is that apart from being a sneakerhead, the man has a deep understanding of style.

We normally see Vicky in dope-looking sweatshirts, jeans and some cool-looking sneakers. However, when it comes to smashing fashion faux pas, the actor knows what works and what doesn’t.

Recently, Vicky Kaushal was seen at the Mumbai Airport, wearing double denims, i.e. a pair of denim jeans, and a denim jacket.

Normally, wearing co-orded jeans or denim pieces is considered a strict no-no by stylists and fashion experts all over the world. The thing is, it is considered to be a trend that died in the 1990s and has been struggling to make a comeback ever since.

Having said that, there have been several occasions when people actually wore double denim with great effect. Vicky did something similar.

The reason why Vicky’s double-denim ensemble works so well, is because of the manner in which he has layered and colour-blocked his outfit.

First of all, there is the fact that the jacket is of a lighter wash than his jeans. This allows for a nice looking contrast. 

A lack of contrast is one of the main reasons why co-ord sets with double denim don’t tend to work. The contrast between the upper and the lower pieces achieves an effect similar to colour-blocking

Then there is the black T-shirt that ties both the upper and lower pieces of the ensemble together. There is also the light blue mask and the white cap sneakers that he’s wearing.

For people interested in the sneakers, they are the Nike Nyjah Free 2 Skate Sneakers in Summit Whites. 

Apparently, they are hugely popular among professional skateboarders, given that they were made keeping the sport in mind, by one of the sport’s GOAT, Nyjah Huston.

Interestingly, the sneakers aren’t that expensive. They retail for Rs 7,800, but you can pick them up for about Rs 5,000 or so, if you know where to look for and know how to play your cards right.

All in all, that’s a dope way to step clear of a major fashion faux pas. A great way to style an outfit, Vicky, seriously.
