Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor give us the retro winter feels.

Nepotism aside, the Kapoor Khaandan of Bollywood have sure swum in the deep end of the gene pool. They shared exquisite features but were essentially like chalk and cheese. Their distinct personalities gave us the gift of diverse appearances and sensibilities on screen. While reams can be written about their star prowess, a glimpse into their sartorial choices is enough to give you all the December feels.

While Rishi Kapoor exemplified the ‘sweater’ swag as the unabashed lover boy, Shammi Kapoor simply relied on a muffler in Tumsa Nahi Dekha to exude his flamboyance. Shashi Kapoor may not have experimented much with dressing on screen but he boasted a malleable aesthetic, where he adopted an attire befitting the character - be it the boatman in Kashmir in Jab Jab Phool Khile or the army man in the suave red turtleneck pullover in Sharmeelee.

His sublime sensuality was hard to miss. Even his white muslin and shawl clad simplicity off screen made a statement. The younger generation comprising the likes of Karisma, Kareena and Ranbir continue their stylistic legacy.

Rishi Kapoor even went on to express his fixation with sweaters on social media.

The Awaara man Raj Kapoor romanticised the ‘vagabond’ vibe but when it came to dressing up, he cleaned up real good. 

Raj Kapoor’s winter wear exudes an agreeably vintage vibe.

The carefree Junglee abandon of Shammi Kapoor perfectly paired with his trendy outfits even as he rolled down snowy hills.

Shammi Kapoor, our desi Elvis Presly, shaved his moustache and underwent a makeover to create the ‘rebellious’ persona.

Shammi Kapoor wore most of his clothes from his own wardrobe and his scarves and caps became style statements. He picked them on his trips abroad.

Shashi Kapoor slipped into his characters with ease. Nothing evokes winter more than this earthy Kashmiri look.

Rishi Kapoor’s colour block game was strong right from the start, when he made his debut as lead actor in Bobby.

Rishi Kapoor became synonymous with ‘sweater’ swag as he wore busy pullovers with vibrant optical illusions.

It’s hard to find an old Rishi Kapoor picture without a sweater!

Rishi Kapoor may have tried to transmit his sweater fascination to Jr. Kapoor, Ranbir.

Ranbir may not be as flamboyant as his dad but he has weaved his dad’s sweater aesthetic with subtlety in his wardrobe. He also paid a tribute to Rishi Kapoor in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Ranbir emulates Rishi’s ‘patterns’ with some restraint. 

That brooding look perfectly complements his winter wear. 

Randhir Kapoor may not be obsessed with sweaters like his sibling but he seemed to love those formal jackets. 

Karisma Kapoor’s outfits in Andaz Apna Apna were panned but lo and behold, her 90s outfits are back in trend.

Look who has the last laugh now in the Louboutin and Chanel glory!

Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Poo’ attitude regularly finds an expression IRL too. She sure knows how to layer up.
