Sandeep Gonsalves, co-founder, SS HOMME, is all about crisp shirts, solid waistcoats, overcoats

Sandeep Gonsalves, co-founder, SS HOMME, prefers crisp shirts and avoids distressed denim.

My style
My daily style includes a blazer, a crisp shirt, trousers paired with handmade brogues/loafers. On casual days, I keep it simple with a basic T-shirt paired with denim-lycra jeans.

Must haves
A well-tailored jacket is important. A wardrobe is complete with formal trousers, crisp shirts, solid waistcoats, overcoats and smart accessories.

Prized possession
A beige trench coat crafted in 100 per cent worsted-spun cashmere is the most prized item in my wardrobe. It was exclusively made for me.

Splurge
I tend to splurge on shoes and gadgets. There are too many to count on both ends.

Brand speak
I am particularly fond of Ermenegildo Zegna and Tom Ford. The first branded item that I bought was a pair of white Prada sneakers.

Best accessories
A smart bag, classic bow ties, exquisite tie bars, patterned ties and classic loafers.

Trend talk
The vertical pinstripe is back. The skirt trend for men is something I’m not completely on board with yet. I avoid distressed denim. I like them to be classic and slim.

Celeb style
David Beckham is very slick and wears a suit really well. If I had to give someone a makeover it would be Donald Trump.
