Most menswear designers want to keep it simple; so what8217;s a fashion hack to do?

Show of the day
Moroccan-inspired weaves with bursts of cool mints, liquid azures and flaming oranges set apart Vineet Bahl8217;s collection. It would be unfair to label him just consistent for his clothes get more beautiful with each show. Indulge your calves and knees in his dresses and stay cool in his feather-light georgettes. Let8217;s hope summer8217;s here soon enough.

Celeb of the day
The presence of some glittering faces in the front row for Dev R Nil8217;s show added some glitter into the otherwise slow-paced proceedings. There was Shatrughan Sinha, Poonam Sinha, Arbaaz Khan, Rohit Roy and Kiron Juneja who came to cheer the sweet Sonakshi who sashayed down the ramp. But the applause was the loudest from a back bencher, a certain Jackie Shroff in the picture, who was the showstopper of the day, literally. Posing for photographs, joking around, talking in typical Bambaiyya Hindi and whistling for Sonakshi, Jaggu Dada was in a cheery mood. Indeed.

Trend of the day
Single-button jackets were probably the biggest sellout on the Menswear Day at LFW. They look utterly urbane, sophisticated and best suited for the hot season. From single-breasted cotton jackets presented by Zubair Kirmani to stylish printed bomber jackets and embroidered jackets by Dev R Nil, sequined denim jacket by Tarun Tahiliani and formal blazers by Troy Costa, these single-button jackets will definitely cool your torso on a mercilessly hot afternoon.

Goss of the day
It was a blink-and-miss appearance by ex-Australian skipper Steve Waugh. Seated in between Sabyasachi and Ravi Krishnan, nobody saw him enter or leave the venue. What happened to the forever intruding Indian paparazzi?

Ensemble of the day
Trust Narendra Kumar to breathe life into the dull; his menswear line had all the makings of a trendy toy-boy. A black silk jacket with flat sequins on it was teamed with cotton skinny pants8212;all the rage in the west8212;and a brown chiffon shirt. We like.
