Upper hand in style: Fahad Mustafa's Ramazan wardrobe proves that jackets make the man

Be it acting roles or outfits-of-the-day, Fahad Mustafa aces the challenge of bringing something new to the table. Now with Ramazan in full swing, the actor is back to stun his audience with a new ensemble everyday. Though, what stands out across all these garments are the uppers that he tops them off with. From vests to blazers to jackets, here are eight times Fahad triumphed in the upper game.

More is more

One of his latest attires to stir up a storm was a cream pixel-printed kurta shalwar, topped with an embroidered jacket. Geometrically sewn with pastel threads and a delicate spangle of sequins, the pale jacket added an elegant finish to the soft colours of the outfit, especially the light turquoise of the kurta's print. The embroidery featured abstract shapes and botanical touches, reminiscent of a painting.

While his Monday post was all about the lighter palettes, the Sunday one shone in vibrant colours. Draping his beige kurta and trousers was a jacket displaying patches of dark browns, brick reds, and bright yellows among others. While the cream jacket's embroidery indulged gentle chaos, the patched jacket put on a brazen display with its irregularly stitched presentation. With nothing but veiny threads separating its patches, this Frankenstein-esque article celebrated variety in bold abundance.

Cold and colder

Never limiting himself to one direction, Fahad also knows how to keep it simple and classy. Keeping a uniform-toned ensemble with the exception of standout golden zippers, he donned a deep brownish purple jacket, exhibiting a silken look. With the weather getting warmer by the day, breezy outfits are becoming a natural go-to, and the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum star is not one to stay behind. He finished the look off with dark shades and a black leather watch.

The sun may be high in the skies, but Fahad still keeps it cool on the streets. "Confidence is the best outfit. Rock it and own it!" he said with this next outfit, which went for a deep blue canvas and intricate floral patterns on the jacket. Opting for dimmer colours on the flowers this time, the film star channelled regal excellence with this jacket, which was accentuated by a trickle of glittering sequins. He complemented the suave look with cool blue shades.

Best in brown

Fahad's next jacket slid over a dark green kurta shalwar, like the shadowy comfort of a rainforest. The jacket incorporated a blueish green hue among various shades of brown, all divided by wave-like, rugged patterns, adding to the soft tropical feel of the ensemble. Once again, the jacket seemed to be a player of its own, stealing the spotlight from an already impressive collection of fabrics.

In sharp contrast to the dim feel of this jacket was a sepia vest over a brown and white florid top. The vest sported simple line art sprouting from the hem and extending to the chest. Fahad wore the collared piece loosely, keeping his signature casually cool way of presenting himself. This look also indicated his inclination towards botanical themes infused with intricate patterns and a motley of colours.

Dark and classy

Speaking of vests, please don't assume that this adored film and TV star only sticks to vibrant colours, for one of his most gleaming looks this month has been a navy ensemble. His deep blue pants and vests were dotted with stars, swimming in an impression of a constellation. Again, the upper vowed to stand apart, its openings laced with pale yellow to separate it from the rest of the ensemble. Staying true to his accessory inclinations, Fahad rounded the look with a pair of soft purple glasses, tying the midnight look together.

And finally, no one can avoid black for too long, which was the Na Maloom Afraad star's safe start for this month. Donning a stylish shalwar kameez stitched with intricate patterns, he put on a black blazer patched down the chest and along the wrists. The touch of glamour elevated what could have been a plain and traditional look, embellishing it with finery that sparkled though without overwhelming the onlooker. Hardly anyone looks bad in black, yet Fahad still found a way to make the colour his own.
