Emraan Hashmi is someone who likes to keep it subtle and classy, and never 'overdoes' it in terms of matters related to style. After a longish break, he is now back with a bang, with exciting projects and the music video 'Lut Gaye' that has already taken YouTube by storm. 

He was recently spotted in a super cool layered outfit, with a calculated style risk thrown in.

Emraan wore the rare faded grey jeans that once had a permanent place in denim royalty, but fizzled out for some weird reason. He paired it with a grey denim jacket, that made the outfit almost look like a co-ord set.

However, he chose to keep the humid weather in mind and gave it a layered spin instead with a classic - the plain white T-shirt, and finished it off with a pair of statement white sneakers. Even though we love the entire look, it's his sneakers that we had to focus on.

Emraan wore a pair of sneakers that sport laces and zippers, that sort of clash in terms of functionality. While the rules of fashion state that functionality trumps style, and each garment/outfit should have it clearly defined - based on which one should never pair suspenders with a belt - there are instances of that being flouted, with pleasant results. The perfect example would be this pair right here.

Add to that the substantial heel that these sneakers feature, and we have a pair that definitely spells out 'fashion gamble'. However, did it pay off? Yes, and how!

All we can say is, this man definitely knows how to elevate a seemingly simple outfit with a few quirks here and there, and that sometimes counts for a breath of fresh air in the hypebeast fashion jungle.
