Coat marshal

The clothes might make some men, but in King Khan's case, he definitely makes them, says Mitali Parekh


    Ihate shopping. Gauri does it for me. I only have one suit — a black one," Shah Rukh Khan said in an interview many years ago, during his rise to the throne. Since then, Gauri Khan has reached Victoria Beckham status for her love of premium brands, but SRK seems to have added only a handful of ensembles to his wardrobe. 

    Not that it matters — his vitality overshadows his clothes. Like it should. And it probably keeps Gauri happy — all the money saved goes into her enviable collection of clutches. He has a few key pieces he keeps rehashing and carrying off with insouciance. 

THE BANDHGALA 

    
We can't help but envy the lack of strain he must feel before any formal event. His classic Indian formal jacket is up a few notches, thanks to the military buttons and slide pockets. Can any man go wrong with all black? SRK proves they cannot. 

SPLASH OF RED 

    
Lest you accuse him of being boring, Shah Rukh has this blood-red waistcoat he wears to rev things up a bit.All he has to do is wear it on top of his uniform of white/black T-shirt and jeans. Aspiring actors, take note — it's your job you should take seriously, not your clothes. 

THE BLACK JACKET 

    
Ablack jacket is a safe bet, but one with a bit of quirk (the metal fastenings at the collar) stands out.This one is probably given to him by Karan Johar, who created a men's line with designer Varun Bahl for the previous Couture Week.
