In a recent feature list titled “Raghav Juyal to Ibrahim Ali Khan: Style lessons from Bollywood’s best in suits!” published by Bollywood Hungama, the spotlight turns to how leading men in Hindi cinema are redefining suit-style — taking formalwear beyond the boardroom and into elevated fashion territory.
Two standout names: Raghav Juyal and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Each offers distinct lessons in how a suit can work not just as clothing, but as a style statement.

Raghav Juyal: Old Hollywood Meets Mumbai Swagger

When Raghav steps into a white tuxedo jacket paired with a bow tie, the look channels classic Hollywood glam. His posture, quiet confidence and the crisp tailoring of the jacket underscore a simple truth: style isn’t just what you wear—it’s how you wear it.
Key take-aways from Raghav’s style moment:

A white tuxedo jacket instantly elevates formalwear — unusual for everyday events, but ideal for making a statement.
Bow tie over long tie gives a nostalgic, refined vibe rather than defaulting to corporate.
Confidence and posture matter just as much as the fabric. The look works because he owns it.
Use classic colour with strong contrast: white jacket + dark trousers gives visual distinction.

Ibrahim Ali Khan: Regal Simplicity Done Right

Meanwhile, Ibrahim Ali Khan opted for a sharply tailored navy suit, silk lapels and a composed demeanour — a modern nod to the aristocratic Pataudi legacy with a fresh spin.

Style lessons from Ibrahim’s fit:

Navy over black: While black is safe, navy brings warmth, versatility and refinement—especially for daytime or semi-formal occasions.
Silk lapels add subtle luxury without going overboard.
Sharp tailoring — fit is everything. A suit that fits right trumps one that is expensive but ill-fitted.
Minimal styling: The simpler the details (pocket square, crisp white shirt, maybe one colour accent), the stronger the suit looks.

How You Can Borrow These Styles

Here’s how you can adapt these lessons to your wardrobe:

Choose your suit colour: For bold moments, white or ivory jacket like Raghav’s. For timeless wear, navy or midnight blue like Ibrahim’s.
Focus on fit: Jacket shoulders should align, sleeves just revealing shirt cuff, trousers break light on shoes.
Pick one standout detail: It could be silk lapels, a contrasting bow-tie, or rich fabric texture. Don’t overwhelm with too many details.
Keep accessories minimal: Let the suit do the talking. A good watch, clean shoes, maybe a pocket-square suffice.
Wear it with confidence: The suit carries you only if you carry it. Stand tall, walk confidently, keep composure.
