Dev Anand—the actor, the director and the producer? Yes to all! But Dev Anand as the style icon? I certainly think so.
For Dev Anand impressed not only with his versatility, but also his style statement. He was not too flamboyant or sophisticated, but his style was casual and insouciant, yet charming. Over the decades, his style remained more or less the same, but with a gentlemanly touch that was right for his age. I’d call his style old-school elegant (in the context of the 21st century).
Dev Anand’s fashion trademarks:
Scarf/ cravat/ muffler: A simple scarf worked in a number of ways for Dev Anand—from a formal cravat to a casually draped muffler.
Hats: Dev Anand wore all types of hats in his movies—like berets, flat caps, and fedoras.
Hairstyles: Dev Anand’s hairstyles changed with his movies. His styles ranged from the “roll” to longish front bangs to the flat hair.
Pray a tribute to Dev Anand—wear a scarf today. I’m wearing one!
