Samir Srivastav, CEO, Jean-Claude Biguine Salon & Spa, loves splurging on shoes.

My Style
It’s all about comfort and modern chic. I don’t prefer the runway or the look book kind of style. I prefer to curate my own blend.

Travelling all over the world has helped sharpen my sense of style.

Must-haves
Crisp white button down high collar shirt, well-fitting denims, polo tees, linen jackets, formal suit and one Nehru jacket suit in black.

Prized possession
A pair of Louis Vuitton brown loafers.

Brand speak

I like Massimo Dutti and Boss Orange. The style and the fit of these brands are a combination you rarely get.

Splurge
Always shoes. I stopped counting how many pairs I have.

Small touches
Accessories can really change your look. Men should have a few belts in unconventional colours, wayfarer sunglasses, a classic leather bag and a few silver bracelets (two is more than enough) These can update your look.

Style advice
Looking good isn’t self-importance. It’s self-respect.

Never ever
You won’t find me wearing sandals and Bermuda shorts.

Celeb style
I like the way David Beckham dresses for the evening.

Attention, Men! Here's The Ultimate Shoe-Care Guide This Summer

1/9

Taking care of your leather and suede shoes can get cumbersome. It is extremely important to invest in good shoe-care products like brush, spray, polish, etc. to increase the life of your footwear.

Synthetics/vegan options (also called as suede) are best for summer season as they are naturally water-resistant, light and absorb sweat. Shop for natural materials such as faux leather, cotton or canvas more than synthetic uppers. These fabrics help your feet breathe easy and stay comfortable in the summer heat.
