Shahid Kapoor Talks About His Timeless Style And The Five Fashion Staples Every Man Should Own

At a time when celebrity wardrobes are often driven by viral moments and statement dressing, Shahid Kapoor continues to stand apart by choosing restraint over noise. His fashion choices have always reflected a quieter confidence rooted in comfort, functionality, and pieces that last longer than a season.

For Shahid Kapoor, style isn’t about creating spectacle. It’s about showing up as yourself, dressed in clothes that feel familiar and lived-in, whether that’s at an airport lounge or a red-carpet event.

A Wardrobe Anchored In Timeless Essentials

Rather than filling his closet with trend-heavy experiments, Shahid believes in building a wardrobe around classics that never lose relevance. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the actor broke down the non-negotiables that form the backbone of his personal

style.

“The five things that you’ll find is a good suit, like a nice black suit, something you should always have. You should always have a couple of chill track sets that you can travel in because I like being relaxed. Then, you should always have a crisp white shirt with a nice pair of formal pants,” Shahid shares.

The philosophy is clear: invest in pieces that move seamlessly across settings – from professional to personal – without demanding effort.

What further elevates Shahid’s approach is his emphasis on balance. Alongside tailored suits and travel-ready athleisure, he makes room for cultural expression and spontaneity.
“Also, you should have something in Indian, which represents our culture. And a pair of swimming trunks for the times when you see a pool and you want to jump in,” he added with a chuckle.
