Move over overflowing closets and fleeting trends, for Aristobrat’s wardrobe staples are here to stay. Built on the foundation of accessibility and adaptability, the brand curates timeless collections for the modern man, catering to every occasion with effortless style. We chat with Neha Salam, design head, Aristobrat, to delve deeper into the brand’s newly launched capsule collection.
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the capsule collection?
We define the modern man we design for as someone who values both functionality and style equally. Our approach is focused on creating classic, adaptable pieces that serve as the cornerstone of men’s wardrobes. This encourages the development of a community of stylish people who value purpose and high quality over fads.
Tell us a little about the colour palette you’ve chosen and why?
The colours in our collection are limited and mostly consist of neutrals and monochromes. We make it easier to mix and match by sticking to a smaller palette of colours, which makes coordination and styling simple.
Can you elaborate on how the pieces in the new capsule collection can be transitioned from day to night wear?
The versatility of our capsule collection allows you to easily transition from the boardroom to the bar counter. The collection offers effortless day-to-night transitions, whether it is matching a structured blazer with tailored pants for a polished daytime look or adding statement accessories and a sleek jacket for an evening event.
The Tjamas and Everywear Pants are quite unique. Can you tell us about the thought process behind creating these bottom-wear variants?
The Tjamas were inspired by the goal of developing a cosier and more adaptable substitute for the traditional chino. They transition from casual to smart-casual occasions thanks to their relaxed fit, tapered ankle and lightweight twill fabric. The Everywear Pants are cotton pants that are ideal for all-day wear because they strike the right mix between comfort and structure. An elastic waistband and hidden button fly to ensure a sleek look.
INR 2,000 onwards. Available online.
