Pull it up: odour-free denim

Just in case you have a body odour problem. No matter how much your mom, wife, girlfriend or mistress insists on putting the clothes you just took off directly into the washing machine, they would still not wash denims regularly because they are meant to last without a wash for at least three four days. However, that doesn’t mean denims don’t stink. They do, and hence a pair like this that is made to keep odour producing bacteria at bay becomes vital. Wrangler Silver Shield denims are priced at ₹2300.

Denim smell removal: Dilute the detergent with white vinegar and wash the denim at the hottest temperature.

Canvas codes: skateboard shoes

For those who think Oxfords are corporate world’s ideas of tying you down, these should do the trick. These shoes from Vans cost ₹4,000 per pair.

Warm up!

If you wardrobe hasn’t already started resembling an Arctic man’s cupboard, may be you should slow down, and have a look. Take tips from Pepe’s latest collection, the picks in which are priced at ₹1500 onwards.

Below the belt: denim trunks

There are two...sorry...three good things about this denim trunk from Zoiro, the belt that you think is for real is just a digital print, though this is an underwear, it has been made to look like shorts, and then obviously the denim look is just an added bonus. It’s a lot safer though... so no chaffing. Zoiro trunks are priced at ₹400.

Get some footage: comfort shoes

Now these shoes may not look good enough to make you want to buy them instantly, but if you are looking for pure comfort, nothing beats a pair of Crocs except the traditional Crocs. From their latest collection, you get to choose from both lace ups and slip on styles. Plus, they come with lightweight cushioning, which does make a lot of difference to people who associate style with comfort. The shoes are priced at ₹3800 to ₹5000.
