Be it his half-sleeved kurta, which he carries with panache, or his crisp Nehru Jacket that almost gives him an endearing charm, BJP's front-runner has definitely influenced an entire generation of young politicians to groom themselves better.

There is no denying that this once RSS pracharak has a come a long way since his Khaki-Chaddi days, and rightly so. And the image makeover is helping him connect with the young audience in more than many ways possible, which is why we help you decode NaMo'sstyle statement.

His Kurtas

It's difficult to ignore his half-sleeve kurtas that he pairs with churidaars even for someone who's not even remotely interested in politics. It is his trademark. Known to have been designed by Modi's very own personal tailors, Ahmedabad-based Chauhan brothers Bipin and Jitendra, they seem to have hit the right chord. It has also been said that despite NaMo's humble upbringing, his penchant for wearing proper clothes has always been spot on, and we couldn't agree more.

His preferred fabric is Khadi and linen variants, and though he was mostly seen in white and saffron coloured kurtas for the longest time, he has now started experimenting with more lively yet muted colours. In fact, on the day when he was appointed as BJP's PM candidate, he wore a pistachio green coloured kurta which became significant to the point of being called as the 'Modi Kurta.' The Modi Style was thus born.

His Accessories

For Modi who has an incredibly simple sartorial sensibility, his choice of accessories are rather flashy. From Bvlagri frames for his spectacles, an expensive Movado watch to Mont Blanc pens- all of which find a special place in his wardrobe. Also, if someone were to observe him closely, the black bands, which he wears on his right wrist, cannot be missed.

Gone are the days when all our Indian politicians had to flaunt were their unkempt appearances, pot bellies and shabby outfits. In comes the band of well-groomed netas for which Modi is definitely the spearhead. That makes him nothing less than a brand to reckon with.

On that note, Modi Manicure anyone?
