Although Kartik Aaryan a very dope sense of style and does not shy away from experimenting, he is at his best when he goes the normcore route, in ensembles that regular guys would feel comfortable in. Well, sort of.

The thing is, what’s considered regular for Kartik is actually a legit style god for his fans, and regular guys like us. Saying that Kartik has inspired a generation of his fans to rethink their choices in fashion and to take style seriously, would be an understatement.

Recently, the actor was spotted at the Mumbai Airport in a very basic and dapper looking outfit, that most guys should actually try and cop. On the surface at least, it seemed that Kartik’s ensemble did not include anything out of the ordinary. Not quite so.

First, though, let’s have a quick look at his outfit.

Kartik is wearing a basic, but dapper-looking denim jacket, which was paired to a basic grey T-shirt, a pair of denim jeans from Armani Exchange, and a really cool looking pair of black shoes.

The shoes that he wore were particularly interesting. They’re from a little upscale Italian fashion company called Paura and are called the 2360 Sueu Shiny Foxing Fear in Black. It is actually hard to categorise the shoes, give how unique and avant-garde the silhouette is.

One the one hand, it has the aesthetic appeal of a properly made pair of suede leather oxfords. At the same time, it also has elements that seem to have been taken off of a trekking boot. What we can agree on, it looks phenomenal as quirky as it is.

Coming to Kartik’s Jacket, man oh man, it genuinely is a one of a kind piece. Called the Black Logo Jacket from Off-White, this piece is designed by Virgil Abloh, as a part of the brands Pre-Fall 2020 collection.

The jacket looks especially cool from the back. The Off-White branding seems to have been stencilled out from the rest of the jacket. In fact it seems that the entire jacket was dyed apart from the logo.

Given that this is a piece from Off-White, it is bound to be expensive. At $800 or Rs 58,000, before your customs and import duties. Add your regular customs and import tariffs, and you’re looking at a price tag of about Rs 74-77,000.

All in all, this is quite a cool outfit that Kartik is wearing. Take a bow, man.
