# Dressing School

> Style education for Indian men — practical, no-nonsense guides on outfits, fit, haircuts, grooming and budget shopping. Built by the team behind the 204K-follower @dressingschool Instagram.

Dressing School teaches everyday style for Indian men: how clothes should fit, what to wear for office/wedding/festive/casual dress codes, how to match colours to skin tone, which haircut suits each face shape, and what's actually worth buying at each budget. Content is opinionated, India-specific (rupee budgets, Indian brands, Indian weather and occasions), and written to be skimmed.
