Men should keep it simple: Bunty Arora, CEO, Doppio Coffee Bar

The young CEO swears by classic and well-fitted outfits.

My style

My sense of style has evolved in the past few years. Nowadays, I prefer well-tailored, fitted and chic clothing. On a daily basis, I think soft colours look good on men.

Must-haves

Every man should own a white shirt, navy blue cotton pants, a black shirt, a well-fitted linen blazer and moccasins or loafers.

Weekend vs. weekday

Weekdays style is more relaxed — linen shirts, cotton pants and comfortable clothing. For weekends, I like wearing things that can work for dinner or a nightclub without too much fuss. For Saturday nights, jackets or blazers are a great option.

Best foot forward

I like Tod’s loafers for the day and a pair of formal ones for the night.

My prized possession

Without a doubt, my Audemars Piguet watch.

Brand value

I like Hermès for their shoes and belts, Gucci for everyday wear, Tod’s for loafers and Audemars Piguet for watches.

Accessorise right

I think men should keep it simple. A good watch with a nice dial, cufflinks, or even a nice leather band as a cool bracelet and a fitness band is now essential.

Style advice

Make your own style statement. Do not wear something because it’s in vogue. Do not go for loud colours.

Trend talk

I love winter clothes and winter fashion, which is hard to wear in a city like Mumbai.

Style no-nos

You will never find me wearing a bright red shirt or printed pants.

Celeb style

David Beckham. The man is a class apart and has maintained the status of a style icon over the years.
