Fashion critics referred to Amitabh Bachchan’s “dashing 1970s style” and the late maharaja of Indore as “well-dressed Indians.”
Fashion critic Derek Guy names the maharaja of Indore and Amitabh Bachchan as some of the best-dressed Indians, celebrating their refined style and tailoring.
Canadian fashion critic and commentator Derek Guy, popularly known as ‘the menswear guy,’ recently took to X to highlight some of the best-dressed Indians. When an X user challenged him, saying, “I dare the menswear guy to tell me he’s seen a well-dressed Indian,” Derek responded, “I would be happy to. Here are some well-dressed Indians,” and shared an impressive thread on Twitter. Let’s take a closer look at his picks.

Yashwant Rao Holkar II’s royal style
Derek Guy began his thread by highlighting Yashwant Rao Holkar II, the Maharaja of Indore, as one of the most well-dressed Indians. Referring to him as the first person who came to mind, Derek admired his elegant wardrobe, stating, “He occasionally wore beautiful garb that I can only assume is traditional to Indian culture.”
While admitting his limited knowledge of non-Western attire, Derek focused on Yashwant Rao’s Western outfits, describing his white-tie look as “impeccably tailored—collar hugs neck, no divots, perfect peak lapel and gorge.”
Derek even compared Yashwant Rao’s polished tailoring to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s attire during his visit to the Queen, critiquing Trump’s waistcoat length while praising Yashwant Rao’s flawless proportions. He said, “By keeping the white waistcoat shorter than the tailcoat, you preserve the harmony of the suit. Much more elegant.”
Derek didn’t stop there. He praised the Maharaja’s “dashing double-breasted” and applauded the quality tailoring, adding, “The full curvy roll on that lapel demonstrates quality pad stitching.” While he suggested lowering the buttoning point slightly, the overall craftsmanship, he said, was undeniable. The critic then shifted focus to Yashwant Rao’s traditional coats, pointing out a polo coat and an Ulster, both exuding sophistication.
Derek admired Yashwant Rao’s attention to detail, like back-stitched lapels, and his safari-inspired look with tweed, a gun patch, and a pith helmet, saying it was “very different from people today who combine sporting details with business clothes.” He also praised the Maharaja’s relaxed style at home, noting how his silk dressing gowns and piped pyjamas were elegant and practical, adding, “Slim-fit pyjamas make no sense since tight clothes are uncomfortable in bed.”
Amitabh Bachchan’s style mastery
Derek Guy called Amitabh Bachchan a modern style icon, praising his “knits-on-knits, suits with flared trousers, and dashing 1970s style eyewear.” He highlighted Bachchan’s mastery of proportions, saying, “Big lapels with big collars and big eyewear” create harmony unlike RFK Jr., whose “medium wide lapel with a dinky collar and shoestring tie” misses the mark.
Derek admired Bachchan’s tonal outfits, noting, “He shows how you can do tonal outfits by varying fibre, sheen, and shade, rather than colour.” He added, “You can ditch the tie by wearing a more casual suit with a turtleneck. A patterned scarf adds visual interest.” What stood out most was Bachchan’s tailoring. Derek pointed out, “Collar hugs the neck, high armholes, jacket ends about halfway from collar to the floor.”
India’s rich contributions to fashion
Derek Guy praised his friend Agyesh’s dad and model Sahaj Anand for their style on the thread. He then shifted focus to India’s rich contributions to fashion, saying, “Indian style isn’t limited to just well-dressed men; it also includes materials and certain production techniques.”
Highlighting Madras fabric, Derek explained, “Most notable is Madras, named after the city now called Chennai. Supposedly, this is an Indian interpretation of Scottish tartans.” He added, “Madras is typically hand-woven and dyed with vegetable colours, which made it prone to bleeding in the past.”
Sharing a fun anecdote, Derek said, “One Brooks Brothers customer stormed into a shop demanding a refund after a shirt ruined his wash. So, Brooks Brothers labelled all their shirts ‘bleeding madras’ and ‘guaranteed to bleed,’ turning the bug into a feature.” He noted that modern madras is colourfast but confessed, “Purists, including me, fancy the older, original stuff.”
Derek highlighted its influence on American menswear, stating, “Traditional American clothiers like Brooks Brothers, J. Press, The Andover Shop, and Winston Tailors turned bleeding madras into shirts, sport coats, and even trousers.” For enthusiasts, he suggested, “True diehards go for the real stuff—patchwork madras. It takes a bit of gusto to wear it, whether as a sport coat or trousers.”
He concluded by celebrating India’s broader impact on men’s fashion, mentioning “finely hand-loomed scarves, artisanal block prints, niche production houses for Hermes, and contemporary brands like Kartik Research, Harago, and Kardo.” He added, “There’s a whole world of Indian contributions to men’s style, even in the space of Western aesthetics. But you can’t be a racist fuckwad if you want to learn about the world.”

Dimple Kapadia’s “excellent” natural haircare components are the keys to her most beautiful hair: Egg with onion juice
Celebrities’ haircare secrets are always a mystery; but we’ve got the scoop. Here are some tips from veteran actor Dimple Kapadia, known for her luscious hair.
Ever wondered what the secret to Dimple Kapadia’s ‘glossy and shiny’ locks is? You’re in luck as the Bollywood A-lister shared the haircare tips and tricks she’s picked up over the years in a 2021 interview with Vogue India, and they are pretty much the best hair care advice you will ever get. The best part? Dimple’s inexpensive haircare tips could help you achieve healthy, beautiful locks without breaking the bank.

‘Oil your hair and do not colour it’
Speaking about her ‘glossy and shiny’ hair, the actor credited the ‘habit of oiling’ that started in her childhood, and said, “Oiling goes a long, long way. I oil my hair overnight, then get a head massage with a homemade hair pack, which is a mixture of eggs (5 whites and a whole egg) and a banana. I leave it on for 10-30 minutes and then wash it through with lukewarm water… the habit of oiling was prevalent throughout my childhood, and it helped as I have always had very dry, thick and coarse hair. Without the amount of professional styling I’ve had over the years, it would not look so glossy and shiny.”
‘Onion juice is excellent for the hair’
Dimple, 67, added, “My secret hair oil recipe is a concoction of almond and sandalwood oil as a base, with geranium, rosemary and lavender essential oils. This is the legacy I’ll pass down to my grandchildren – oil your hair and do not colour it… onion juice is excellent for the hair but I think, the safer option is to use the onion extract oils you get now.”
Diet for healthy hair
Dimple’s healthy hair diet included fish that can provide essential nutrients for promoting hair growth and maintaining healthy locks. The actor said that she ‘ate a lot of fish growing up’ as her family lived in a coastal area, adding that ‘really helped’ her hair.
Dimple suggested that you ‘include lots of protein in your diet, eat balanced meals and include seeds and nuts’ to provide your hair with the essential nutrients it needs to stay healthy, strong, and beautiful.
