International Men’s Day, celebrated on November 19th, is more than a date; it’s a tribute to the journey of men everywhere. At Aza Fashions, we believe that understanding this journey means also honoring how men’s fashion has transformed over the years, empowering self-expression and individuality in every era.
How Men’s Fashion Has Evolved
Men’s style has never stood still. Centuries ago, regal sherwanis, brocaded jackets, and intricately embroidered kurtas dominated Indian menswear, reflecting status and tradition. As the world opened up, Western influences added tailored suits, trousers, and crisp shirts to the urban wardrobe.
The late 20th century saw men break away from rigid forms—embracing denim, experimentative prints, bold colors, and comfort-driven silhouettes. Fashion began to reflect not just a man’s status, but his personality, passions, and place in the world.
Today, the best of both worlds unite: timeless traditions blend seamlessly with innovation and comfort. The modern man can choose, combine, and customize, shouting out his confidence in every look.
Why This Evolution Matters
Fashion has traveled from being a symbol of rank and conformity to a tool for self-expression. At Aza Fashions, every curated piece honors this evolution—drawing on the richness of heritage while elevating what it means to dress well today. Men’s fashion now celebrates versatility and authenticity, empowering every individual to look and feel their best.
Modern Menswear, Shaped by the Past—Aza’s Must-Have Trends
Embracing change, staying rooted. That’s the new code—and Aza Fashions leads the way. Here are our top picks this International Men’s Day, inspired by history but made for now.
The Rise of Relaxed Tailoring
Decades ago, formalwear meant stiff, heavily structured jackets and fitted pants. Today’s relaxed tailoring at Aza honours tradition while putting comfort first. Unlined Bandhgalas, airy linen blazers, and easy pleated trousers recall the regal grace of yesterday, now reimagined for movement and versatility.
These pieces carry tradition, yet let you switch seamlessly from celebrations to meetings—reflecting the fluid lives of modern men.
Utility and Workwear Reimagined
Workwear once meant practical, uniform clothing worn for necessity. Now, these roots find new life in urban menswear. Aza’s edit transforms chore jackets, khadi shirts, and cargo-inspired trousers into contemporary Indian essentials.
With oversized pockets and earthy fabrics, these picks nod to heritage. Easy-to-find styles—like tailored cargos and versatile utility shirts—show how practicality evolved into smart, everyday fashion, always accessible online or in-store at Aza.
The Return of the Wide-Leg Trouser
Remember the billowing pajama pants and relaxed dhotis of eras gone by? Men are rediscovering wide silhouettes, now in refined wool, linen, and cotton blends at Aza. Swapping skinny jeans for wide-leg trousers revives classic Indian fluidity in a thoroughly modern context.
Balance these with fitted shirts for a sharp, updated profile—honoring the ease and grace our forefathers once enjoyed.
Elevated Loungewear—Redefined by Aza
Homewear was once basic and hidden away. But today, Aza’s luxe lounge sets prove you can be stylish anywhere. Refined joggers and printed tracksuits echo the global shift in attitudes, where comfort and polish are no longer opposites.
Choose neutral coordinated sets, a nod to the athleisure boom, finished with minimalist sneakers for a look as ready for brunch as for downtime at home.
The All-Weather Gorpcore Aesthetic
Outdoor and adventure gear was once reserved for rugged trails. Now, elements like shell jackets and quilted vests have made their way into men’s everyday wardrobes. At Aza, this fusion of function and fashion echoes the adaptability that has always been a part of Indian attire.
Practical, stylish, and versatile—gorpcore lets the modern man move easily between city and countryside, work and play.
The Minimalist Monochrome Look
Simplicity once denoted elegance in royal courts. Today, monochrome reigns supreme, focusing on quality fabrics over embellishment. Aza’s all-black, cream, and earth-tone edits let men combine tradition and modernity—mixing textiles for a crisp, sophisticated result that stands the test of time.
Resort Shirts and Bold Prints—The Aza Way
Prints have always spoken of individuality. From paisleys of the Mughal era to 1970s florals, bold patterns have cycled through fashion history. Now, resort shirts with vibrant graphics and festive hues, handpicked by Aza stylists, help today’s man express his zest for life.
Pair these breezy shirts with tailored shorts or pants—a nod to decades of relaxed, summer-inspired Indian living.

Aza’s curated picks include chunky timepieces, handcrafted belts, artisanal sneakers, layered jewelry, and sleek backpacks—uniting history with function and contemporary flair.
