From the biker-chic jackets of Deewana to the sweatshirts of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the brown leather in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the sweater casually slung in Mohabbatein, and the linen ease of Dear Zindagi — Shah Rukh Khan, who turned 60 on November 2, has been setting style benchmarks since 1992.But this time, as he walked in wearing a mustard-yellow jacket over a blue shirt in King’s teaser, the Internet broke into a style skirmish with one camp calling it homage, the other crying copy.
Somewhere between fan-club wars and fashion trolling, mustard jackets and denim shirts found themselves trending again. Turns out, the combo isn’t new at all. Admit it: you’ve probably got a denim shirt and something mustard tucked away somewhere, too.From Rajinikanth to Koi Mil Gaya’s Jadoo, everyone’s already done it. In the battle of who wore it first, there’s no real winner. Ask stylists and designers, and they’ll tell you this denim-mustard pairing didn’t start on a racetrack or a movie set. It’s been hanging in our closets for decades.
