Hey guys, get the ball rolling for your re-vamped wardrobe

From that unkempt stubble you showed off with confidence, to taking on cheery colours like you had never imagined, you experimented with everything bold last year. But, outdoing yourself is a game you must play. In 2015, take an oath to go beyond set norms or what the rulebook says, and re-visualise and take on trends, in your own sweet style. We bring to you all that?'s going to be hot this year. From neutrals and diaphanous creams being back in the fashion game, to jumpsuits and prints making a breakthrough, here's how to get the ball rolling. (Text: Snigdha Ahuja)

Blend to stand out: From mish-mashed prints and dis coordinated patterns to a perfect potpourri of the palettes, having fun with your separates has never been more fun. From structured silhouettes brought together with breezy add-ons, to that unexpected element paved-in by the way of a printed scarf or those trademark Lennon frames — it’s never been cooler to be yourself!

Neutrals are back: Challenging the palette is always fun, and this year, slide into a smooth colour map which travels from subtle lilacs and delicious creams to rose gold and primrose neutrals. We’d love the silky tones to replace the staple blacks of your suits. And of course, you can always prep up by adding that exciting pop of colour — whether it’s in the form of your pocket square or studded cuff links. Pay attention to detail.

Sporty and Spiffy: We know, everyone’s told you to go sporty this season. But, going out of your comfort zone to look at ease just beats the purpose. Focus on layering, DIY your sneakers and let them go home-ready luxe! Gone are the cring-worthy days of oversized denims that struggle to hold on to your waist, so opt for smart layering and colour blocking as you keep the silhouettes breezy, and super easy!

Carry on in style: From small details to the big ones — your wardrobe needs some pumping up to reach style fruition. While the Internet is buzzing with sounds of the ‘mangle’ (man bangle), we’d urge you to explore more than just juxtaposed words! This year, get out of the wallet mode and invest in structured holdalls, oversized statement backpacks and classic messenger bags in caramelised shades.

Banning the breakup: Separates are intrinsic part of menswear. But, some designers decided to get that jumpsuit back on the runway, and that gives you so many ideas to experiment! So guys, why not ditch the same ol’ style path and pick a striped or monotoned one-piece, and break all the monotony with some finer details. From a dull metallic slim belt or a statement cropped jacket to just those smoking slippers to go — get into the unitard mode (minus all that spandax of course!)

What experts forecast: From deckchair stripes and museum-worthy pop prints to black and white alone or in combination with shades like petal pink and pastel blue — all these will be in fashion- Ritu Beri, designer. Royal blue is now the new black, and return of mirrorwork (as seen in his contemporary turtlenecks) both have done and will do well in terms of fashion - Manish Malhotra, designer.

What experts forecast: Classics like waistcoats and short sherwanis , with new technological fabrics and blends of organic textures might be seen on the runway- Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra, designers. For winter, men can do a bundi worn over jeans, a full length sherwani for the Indian touch, smart jackets and shawls thrown over trousers – it’s about how you can put things together to express yourself - Tarun Tahiliani, designer.
