What does it take to be the 'man of the moment' when it comes to style?

Be it a formal do, a night out at your favourite disco or a house party, how do you decide what's 'appropriate' for the occasion?

"Style is all about being comfortable in whatever you wear; it's about being able to carry it off," says designer Bhavi Bhagat, who has her own boutique, Khayal, in Mumbai.

"That's why I don't insist that women wear kurtis and men, short shirts just because they are in," she adds.

Let's, instead, start with the basics of how to dress right for any occasion -- be it a formal, casual or semi-formal do.
