Dharmendra Lives On in Style: Aza Remembers the He-Man of Bollywood Through His Era-Defining Looks

Checkered shirt, cardigan draped on the shoulders, and timeless charisma; style only Dharmendra could deliver.

Dharmendra’s denim-on-denim look from Sholay not only defined a generation but was also a statement long before it became a trend.

The first to bring cowboy swagger to Bollywood, Dharmendra’s leather vests redefined rugged style, paving the way for a retro menswear comeback.

Whether on screen or off duty, his art of balancing playful prints and sharp tailoring inspired a generation of men to dress with confidence.

Even in the simplest black leather jacket, he carried a presence that couldn’t be replicated, a style the world will always remember.

From the 60s icon to his late 80s, his charm never faded and this warm winter look with a textured cap, colourful scarf and navy jumper says it all.

This embroidered white kurta and pyjama look from his recent years is a reminder that age never changed his style but only refined it.
