Shahid Kapoor – We all love the chocolate boy of Bollywood who charmed his way into our hearts with his innocuous and charming looks right from his debut in Ishq Vishq. All along, Shahid has consistently modelled himself into one of the suavest and fashion aware actors of tinsel town! Shahid’s unconventional style game conspired with fashion stylist, Anisha Jain pre-dominantly features the much-loved vibe of monochrome. Born on February 25, 1981, Shahid Kapoor has displayed his penchant for the monotones and even infused grunge undertones to it with a slick haircut and trimmed beard and moustache coupled with an enviably chiselled body. Riveting and resonating with his easy persona, Shahid Kapoor has infused the trusty monochrome into the reigning concepts of styles like smart casuals, off-duty (read: athleisure) and back to basics! Keeping the fashion lovers and fans alike hooked to his affair with the monochrome, Shahid and his astonishing style reincarnation boast of a whopping 12.7 million followers on Instagram! Men’s fashion is stereotypically and seriously understated but proving a point and raising the sartorial bar through his distinct style play, Shahid Kapoor is intent on busting this myth. As he turns 37, we took to Shahid’s burgeoning book of style to see how the simplistic nature of monochrome allows you to make easy style choices with an effortlessly masculine edge.

Acing this vibe with all black and white fashion, Shahid Kapoor and his stylist have spruced it up by experimenting with texture and silhouette. An outcome that is simple and classic with contemporary undertones and sophisticated all at once, let’s take a recap of his monochromatically dazing style moments.
