Retro blues: Here's how Babil Khan is keeping it stylish

We can safely say that, if there is one thing Babil Khan has inherited from his father, it is the confidence to stand out in a crowd. This look is a vintage masterpiece. The cropped deep cobalt-blue blazer screams sophistication and creates a sharp upper silhouette that contrasts beautifully with the wide-legged exaggerated checked trousers.

The proportions of the ensemble evoke the spirit of 1970s pop culture, reliving an era of glamorous rock icons and rebellious yet refined menswear. The tonal blue palette, paired with the schoolboy-style tie, makes the outfit both chic and dramatic.

Styled with a crisp white shirt and plain black mules, the ensemble feels simultaneously classic yet contemporary. In some ways, we feel it channels the Ralph Lauren aesthetic seen in the 1974 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, where Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby brings effortless elegance to the screen, while he poses beside a 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Ascot Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton.
