Adnan Sami recently released his new single, “Lipstick”, a track that celebrates individuality. Released by Zee Music Company, it talks of embracing one’s authentic self, which is something Sami does wholeheartedly. “I don’t give a damn,” he says with a smile, while describing his personal style.
Relaxed Staples
“On a casual day at home, I keep it very simple and comfortable: joggers, a polo shirt or a basic tee and loungewear,” says Sami. He gravitates towards Burberry and Ralph Lauren for everyday comfort. “Nothing complicated, just easy and relaxed.”
Crafted Footwear
His go-to shoes are Berluti. “I have about 15 pairs in my wardrobe,” he reveals. Handmade, comfortable and finished with distinctive patinas, they strike the perfect balance between classic and creative.
A Milestone Keepsake
Without a doubt, the most treasured piece in his wardrobe is the sherwani he wore when he received Indian citizenship. “It carries an enormous amount of sentimental value for me,” he says. “It’s not just a piece of clothing, it’s a piece of my story.”
Timeless Watches
Sami doesn’t wear jewellery, preferring watches instead. Rolex is his favourite brand. “For me, it represents old heritage and timeless class,” he says, comparing its enduring appeal to that of a Rolls-Royce.
Priya Patidar recently lent her voice to the title track of the Akshay Kumar-starrer, Welcome to the Jungle. The singer deems her personal style to be “trendy yet comfortable”. She says, “For me, comfort is the key to confidence.”
Denim Days
“For a regular day at work, I usually prefer wearing rugged jeans paired with a spaghetti crop top or a tank top,” says Patidar. Slightly baggy or neatly tailored relaxed-fit jeans are her wardrobe staple, combining comfort with an effortless style.
Confidence Heels
Her go-to footwear is a pair of block pump heels. “Whenever I wear my pump heels, I feel more poised and confident while walking into a room,” she says.
Sentimental Favourite
Patidar’s most treasured piece is her Steve Madden handbag. While the bag is special, the person who gifted it, and the memories attached to it, make it truly meaningful.
Minimal Elegance
She prefers keeping accessories simple, often opting for long hoops, statement danglers or a delicate pendant depending on the outfit. “As they say, less is more,” she says, embracing a minimal aesthetic that lets her personality shine through.
One of Bollywood’s most sought-after DJs, Ganesh has performed at several high-profile weddings and parties, including celebrations for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, and Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. When he’s performing at star-studded events, he likes to look his best, “without trying too hard”.
Travel-friendly Dressing
With much of his life spent travelling for events, linen shirts paired with relaxed trousers have become almost like a uniform. Lately, he’s been wearing ARKS by Ranbir Kapoor. “I like to keep it simple,” he says.
Performance Sneakers
He prefers wearing Nike Jordans for club shows, and travel. For flights and workouts, he switches to Brooks.
Suiting Up
A well-tailored Raymond suit is a treasured piece in his wardrobe because, “nothing beats a perfectly fitted suit.”
Luxury Details
Ganesh likes to keep accessories understated yet refined. Rolex is his watch brand of choice, while a simple Louis Vuitton chain and diamond stud earring complete his look for club performances.
Mayukh Ghosh, known for his work on the acclaimed thriller series Hostages, returns with Brown, an upcoming crime drama starring Karisma Kapoor and directed by Abhinay Deo. His sense of style is simple. “I’d rather own a few things that fit right than a whole wardrobe I never reach for,” he says.
Breathable Basics
“Comfort wins, always,” says Ghosh. Given Mumbai’s heat and humidity, he sticks to lightweight, breathable pieces such as cargo pants, trousers, soft cotton T-shirts and kurta shirts. “Nothing heavy, nothing that gets in the way of a long day.”
Practical Footwear
Most days, he relies on sneakers, walking shoes or sandals. When the occasion calls for something sharper, he reaches for Chelsea boots. His current favourite pair is from the Indian start-up brand Comet.
Special Occasion Piece
The most treasured item in his wardrobe is a tailored three-piece suit. Reserved for occasions that specifically call for formal dressing, it remains a standout piece. “There’s something about a well-tailored suit that makes you stand a little straighter,” he says.
Meaningful Timepiece
While he owns a few watches, including an Apple Watch, his
favourite is a Titan Sonata gifted to him by his father. “It’s not the flashiest one I own; it’s just the one with the most meaning.”
Latest Buys
Adnan Sami: “A few pairs of Brunello Cucinelli casual shoes. Effortlessly elegant, beautifully made and incredibly comfortable.”
Priya Patidar: “A Michael Kors reversible leather belt. Since I wear jeans quite often, I wanted an accessory that was both practical and stylish.”
