I work in a lax business environment, and the dress code mirrors the mentality: “Whatever!” My colleagues never pass the threshold of a button-down and jeans, the CEO wears a tattered Zeppelin concert tee, and I am pretty sure I saw an intern sporting sweats. I have always fancied the Savile Row–esque aesthetic but haven’t dared to don a jacket and tie to the office. Can I rock the three-piece amid a sea of ripped jeans and slouchy flannels? You probably have to decide whether your place of business has no dress code or it has an unspoken code that is “business sloppy.” If it has no dress code, then knock yourself out with a three-piece windowpane suit from Anderson & Sheppard and John Lobb shoes and you’ll be tolerated…

“NOWADAYS, FOR MANY MEN, THESE EXPERIMENTS ARE A WAY OF EXPRESSION AND INDIVIDUALITY. THEY ARE CREATING THEIR OWN STYLE.” Three trends men should try this summer, especially the ones who like to experiment with their looks? To me the idea of individuality is very important. A man should be comfortable in his skin and must enjoy what he wears. This summer, men can experiment with drape shirts, drop-crotch pants and nicely draped kurtas with slim pants. Most Indian men don’t like to experiment with their looks. In your opinion, how important is it? Things are changing in India. The younger generation is more open to experimenting with their looks. Nowadays, for many men, these experiments are a way of expression and individuality. They are creating their own style. It’s their…

FOOT FETISH IS A SEXUAL ACTIVITY that is focused on the sole, heel, toes and nails. Through these sections a man or woman tries to arouse sexual desire. How? We’re sure you’ve seen it while watching porn—swiping, sucking, licking, decorating, massaging, kissing, and caressing, that’s what people usually do when they have foot fetish. Categorised as foreplay, there is no contact between vagina and penis. It may seem a little disgusting when you first hear about it but it’s the same as oral sex. It’s a way to generate excitement, just in a slightly different manner. We’re sure by now you’ve already thought about the germs and how unhealthy it is. But, hey, wouldn’t you first clean your body, including your vital parts, to make oral sex more hygienic and…

Alessandra Ambrosio—there’s no Victoria’s Secret Angel who spends more time on the beach…and we should know! Born in Brazil, she grew up by the sea; her motto and favourite hashtag is #foreveronvacation. But that’s only one of many reasons why we love her.

Here she shows us how to make a splash on the beach no matter where you are. FROM THE MOMENT I ARRIVED IN MONTE CARLO to shoot the December/January Maxim cover in 2016, I felt the team truly understood my adventurer spirit. I’m excited to…

Let’s start from the beginning. Tell us about your initiation into the world of music and the sarod. There was no “a particular day” or formal initiation. Music had always been a part of our family. There was no question of a life outside music for my father, Ustad Haafiz Ali Khan. He inherited this legacy from his father and I inherited it from him. My first recital was at the age of six. I have experienced ecstasy, peace, tranquility, harmony, satisfaction and joy through various melodies, rhythms and ragas. The reactions to music kept changing according to my age and experience. You learned music under the tutelage of your father, Ustad Haafiz Ali Khan. How different were his teaching methods to the ones prevalent today? In Hindustani classical music,…

ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA IS ONE OF THE DEFINITIVE AND MOST INFLUENTIAL names in men’s tailoring. It’s also one of the most successful, with earnings of more than one billion Euros a year.
