    Looking sharp as a man is more about the little things. Sure, the big things like the colour, silhouette, and the fit matter, but sometimes it’s the tiniest of things that make all the difference in a man’s look. Wearing your tie bar at the right place, contrasting the colour of the pocket square with the colour of the tie, getting the length of the trousers right, leaving the second button of the jacket undone…the devil is in the details.

    One such element of your look that deserves attention to detail is your facial hair. Finding the right facial hair look both flatters your face and is in trend might not be as easy as it sounds. Facial hair is the single most important aspect of a man’s appearance, and must never be taken lightly. Your moustache or beard can make or break your look after all.

    One such facial hair look to embrace this season is the Beardstache. The beardstache, as the name suggests, is a hybrid between a beard and a moustache. The look features a prominent, well-grown moustache, which is paired with a faded stubble. Not only is the beardstache super cool right now, but it also flatters most men. It’ll look as good with a cool, casual look, as with a sharp formal look, and will look even better with ceremonial wear.

    If you are a guy looking to change your facial hair look this season and are unsure about what style to try, let it be this one. The beardstache is sexy, classy, and has a lot of gravitas. This style has the raw, rugged vibe of a stubble, and the elegance of a moustache.

    The way to achieve it is by growing a thick, prominent, well-groomed moustache—chevron, handlebar, horseshoe…it could be any kind—and then letting the rest of your facial hair grow out for a couple of days. You don’t want a full-fledged beard, but a really subtle stubble.

    This facial hair style is also great for you if you don’t usually keep a moustache, and would want to try it, but jumping into the deep end sounds too daunting so you want to test the waters first with a moustache-beard hybrid look.

    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
