In our second collaboration with Indian rapper Raftaar, on 1st July 2022, we at Urban Monkey dropped our most awaited collection yet, Beyond Raftaar™. This collection represents an experimental visual identity created exclusively for rapper Raftaar and his fans. In an attempt to create official merchandise for him, the design team took a deep dive into what epitomises ‘Raftaar’ and more so Dilin Nair himself. Born in 1988 in God’s Own Country, Dilin Nair is inarguably one of the most popular hip-hop artists in our country today. Most well-known by his stage name “Raftaar”, his beloved fans also know him as “RR” and “RAA”. An ex-dancer, Raftaar started his career in music in 2008, and through hustle and hard work. In 2014, he bagged the Best Urban Song at the Brit Asia TV Music Awards with the release of “Swag Mera Desi” and the rest is history. Not a stranger to the struggle of an everyday underground artist in India, Raftaar is an inspiration to the underground street community. He is everything we stand for, a dreamer, hustler, believer, and change maker. A truly multifaceted artist in every sense, we had to create a unique visual identity to really represent him. Almost a year in the making, our design team went back to the drawing board and started from scratch to make the secret sauce that makes the illustrations in this collection really stand apart, starting with creating a logo that exhibits “Raftaar” in the devanagari script and the iconic “RR” logo. Our iconic Raftaar snapbacks and our trucker in the collection star these iconic logos. Every Raftaar t-shirt features his signature “RR” logo patch. Posters Inspired by his love for elephants and the Japanese culture,assets were manifested that showcased “Eraavat”, the white elephant, with a kaybug (Y2K) aesthetic. These assets were then carefully curated into posters which became the starting point for the designs. Watch Raftaar X Urban Monkey | full film Inspired by his love for gaming, our designs have a unique take on Raftaar’s video game “Black Sheep '' and its main character. This futuristic, gaming-focused design can be seen on the Space Shooter and Space Ninja Raftaar baseball caps. It is most convincingly emphasised on the front of the Metaverse and Gamers Don’t Die Raftaar Tshirts. Spirit Animal Space Ninja Raftaar loves elephants. Everyone loves elephants. Inspired by the magnificence of these God like creatures and combining it with aesthetics from Japanese culture, the centre of our design was born, Eraavat. Metaverse Gamers don’t die Our Eraavat Raftaar Snapback pays its respect to this beautiful design. This unique design also dominates the 1988 Raftaar cap and face mask. Additionally, this design also enhances the back of our Spirit Animal and Killer Instinct Raftaar t-shirts. 1988 Eraavat Spirit Animal Killer Instinct A legendary collection for icons in the making all over the world. Just like Raftaar, we wanted this collection to give a voice to the under-represented street community in our country.

These trendy shorts need not be limited to sporty activities, they double up as streetwear shorts, and you can choose from various options from Urban Monkey sweatshorts online.

This principle takes its origins from the symbolic meaning of clothing. If you wear clothing that has a bright, colourful print - you are more likely to feel happy and indulge in fun activities. Similarly, if you wear clothing that makes you feel active and good about the fact that you are getting ready to exercise, it is more likely that you will be active. Boosts confidence - Wearing the right gear can feel more confident. It ensures that you fit in with the rest of the group and increases your motivation levels to keep going.

Makes you more mindful about your choices - While you are dressed to be active, you become conscious about every small choice you make that is connected to your health. It may be eating healthier or walking to the shops instead of taking the car out. These small details also add up to keep you active. So while pulling on your sweatshorts might not make you a superstar athlete, there is a high possibility it will make you more inclined towards getting out there and exercising rather than couch-sitting at home. Moreover, you have to admit that has to be the best thing for you this summer. So what are you waiting for - all you need to do is browse through the fantastic Urban Monkey sweatshorts collection and make your choice.

Nothing beats the comfort and casual style of basic t-shirts in your wardrobe. You have come to the right page if you too agree with us. The soft and comfy wear is a favorite of many, no matter the age and gender. But how well do you know your t-shirts? How often do you consider knowing if there are different types of t-shirt fits and request a seller to show you the different types or the one you know is your style of fit? So basically, t-shirts can be categorised into Slim fit and Regular fit. Of course, both these types come in sizes like every other attire – small, medium and large. However, their shapes are not identical and you can easily consider this once you start taking a closer look the next time you go t-shirt shopping. Difference Between Slim Fit And Regular Fit T-Shirt The questions that arise during Slim Fit Vs. Regular Fit T-Shirt debates have simple answers. As the name suggests, slim fit t-shirts fit closely to the body. From their sleeves to the back measurements, they fit well and can look small in length and breadth. On the other hand, a regular fit t-shirt is more straight-looking and goes straight from the armhole to the waist. It is an option that many love to wear for a more comfortable and free fit. It is perfect to be worn during exercises, casual dates, and sleeping as the loose fit of regular-fitting t-shirts makes them the ideal wear any time of the day. Types of t-shirts to find in slim and regular fits It is amazing to know that you can come across a wide variety of t-shirt styles in the fashion world today. They are stylish, cool, sophisticated and perfect to style up for different occasions. Each of these t-shirt styles plays a crucial role in defining an individual’s personality too. Some t-shirt styles in a slim and regular fit t-shirt fit that should definitely make way to your wardrobe include: Henley Y neck t-shirt: Popularly called the “hybrid t-shirt” of the basic crew and the V neck tees, the Henley t-shirts feature a button placket running deep downwards below the neckline, giving an elegant and casual look at the same time. Crew neck t-shirt: This is probably the t-shirt style that men have long been the most loved type. You can easily find guys rocking a crew neck t-shirt that comes with a round and circular neckline. It is a style that can be seen worn by both muscular and lean guys casually or at the gym and undoubtedly gives that classic look. Polo t-shirt: A t-shirt style made popular by golfers, this falls under the collared category and gives the perfect mixture of a casual and formal look at the same time. Men can wear this t-shirt either with denim and a pair of sneakers or go sophisticated with a pair of trousers and semi-formal footwear to absolutely rock the look. How to Style or Wear a Slim Fit T-shirt and a Regular Fit T-shirt? T-shirts are versatile and can be paired with almost every type of bottom wear when done correctly. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should try and wear a t-shirt to every occasion or so just because you look good in them. But yes, you can choose to wear the basics every day at home or work. Some of the coolest ways to wear a slim fit t-shirt are: Denim: Every t-shirt goes well with the good old denim. Whether ripped jeans or a clean and subtle one in light shades, t-shirts are worn most commonly with jeans and the style never fails. Trousers: Unlike denim, it may not be every person’s cup of tea to pull off a “t-shirt with trousers” look, but this definitely falls under one unique fashion. It is one of the most loved styles by many celebrity heartthrobs including Ranbir Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra and even David Beckham. Suit: Oh yes! This is as pleasing to the eyes as it sounds! Rocking the t-shirt in a suit look is what most of us have been seeing celebrities (or superheroes) like Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr pull off amazingly! They are stylish, cool and an absolutely eye-turning fashion. Shorts: Isn’t it difficult to look effortlessly stylish during summers with the scorching heat? Well, your wardrobe demands you to wear t-shirts during this weather and you can perfectly pair it up with a pair of cool denim or khaki shorts. This look offers a naturally relaxed fit while keeping you comfortable and stylish. There’s never really a hard-and-fast rule to wear a type of fit. It is one’s personal choice. And with t-shirts being one of the most versatile forms of clothing, they can be styled up effortlessly into some comfortable and stylish looks.

Biker jackets, along with helmets and race suits, are among the most difficult items to size and purchase. Using them when riding a bike is critical for your safety as well. Wearing a motorcycle jacket keeps you protected from the elements like dust particles and abrasions, so you can get more miles out of your bike. Your search for a new motorbike jacket is likely at an early stage. Once you've narrowed down your riding style, it's easy to pick the perfect jacket category. Select a jacket style that is appropriate for your riding style and protection requirements If you want a simple canvas jacket, you can get one, but if you want something more technical, you can get one made with the wide range of materials available today. What you won't see, on the other hand, is a racing jacket made entirely of textile material like “Cordura”. However, this does not imply that textile coats like “Cordura” coats are inferior. Indeed, they're an excellent option for the majority of riders. If you're looking for a high-tech solution, a full-textile jacket is a way to go Textile Jackets are jackets made completely from cloth material like “Cordura”. Some Common USPs of Textile Jackets are as follows: Textile motorcycle jackets offer more protection than your ordinary mesh jacket, whether you're talking about heavy rain or the unforgiving pavement should you tumble off your bike. Textile jackets, while not the ideal choice for hot weather, are good at keeping the wearer warm when the weather turns cold. Textile jackets can give far more variety due to the nature of the materials used. They also ensure that designers do not have to worry about obstructing the crucial airflow while continuing to serve numerous styles and variations. For colder rides, textile jackets often have a thermal layer. They are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. Adventurers, commuters, and riders, mainly people who just want to go out on the road as often as possible, prefer wearing full-textile jackets. Try wearing a bomber bike jacket In many people's minds, there is no substitute for a bomber biker jacket for men, no matter how fantastic the textile jackets in the market are. When it comes to motorcycle jackets, the bomber jacket has long been the best option available, and it still commands admiration today. The slip resistance of the bomber jacket is excellent. The classic design is always a plus. The bomber jacket, designed to withstand extreme cold, also has insulation and provides warmth in style. Preserve them so they last longer. Bomber jackets are meant to withstand extreme weather, such as the cold at high altitudes. This is one of the warmest and most effective wear for bikers. However, If you choose a bomber jacket made of cotton, nylon, polyester, denim, or some other fabric, you can wear it in the summer as well. Select a suitable size You'll come across three main jacket fitting categories as you peruse your selections. The term "normal" or "touring" fit may also be used to describe the American fit. If you want your jacket to fit snugly, go for the European cut. "Slim" and "sport cut" are other terms for this style of fit. These jackets are ideal for riders who don't need a lot of extra room. Last but not least, there is a ‘race fit’ that caters to the extreme sportsman. Check the size chart before placing your order Your jacket style, fit preference, and measurements are all that you need to make an informed decision about the jacket that is right for you. Try on your new jacket as soon as it comes home. In your customary position, sit on your motorcycle, and see how it feels. You should be able to turn, lean, and reach the handgrips without any problems. The jacket should fit snugly around your body. The safety aspects of the jacket may be compromised if it is too loose. You should check to see if the armor covers your elbows and shoulders. If not, try adjusting it. If a motorcycle jacket doesn't stay in place, it won't be able to accomplish its purpose of protecting you. Final Words Now you know how to choose a new jacket. When you're certain you've chosen the right jacket, such as a black biker jacket for men, treat yourself to a fun ride. If you take good care of it, your motorcycle jacket will provide a high level of protection for many years to come. It's better to get one that's right for you! Even if you decide to add a back protector or extra-base layers down the road, having a jacket that fits properly is important.

We love celebrating Indian Street Culture and we are always on the lookout for cool new artists. Mumbai-based graffiti artist and next-door art nerd Okami - grew up spending most of his time on the Internet, creating digital and conventional art. A computer engineer by profession his art follows an object-oriented approach like software with a heavy influence from Japanese culture. So, when we spotted Okami’s work, on a busy street corner in Mahim, we knew we had to work with him. Tell us a bit about yourself? How did you develop your style? Thanks to the media I consumed, I was always aware of graffiti but I had not familiarised myself with the graffiti scene in India. I always assumed that some artists from abroad came here, took some special permission from the government thanks to their reputation/portfolio, and did as they liked. So I never really gave much thought to it. Then as life went on, I focused on my other interest - technology, and eventually became a computer engineer. The art I made always had this object-oriented approach like software. The code I wrote always had some Easter eggs in the form of ASCII-art or some obscure UI design and so does my art. How'd you first gravitate towards graffiti and what motivated you when you began? My experience as a Software Architect made me realize that social media is a simulacrum of the scene on the streets. I decided to document my art and start a social media art account sometime in the mid-2010s. Through that process, I discovered the Indian graffiti scene, and it all clicked. You put your thoughts out there for the whole world to see and, in effect, leave your mark on society - Okami Around that time, I was working on a project abroad in a different timezone and used to leave work by 1-2 AM. Not a single soul in sight. That was the perfect time to make the streets my canvas. I bought a couple of cans and started dropping tags along my work route back home. Eventually, tags became throwies, throwies became fleshed-out pieces, and here we are! What kept you going and how did it shape you? There was no social media algorithm to decide my reach or any centralized system to store/monitor my art. I got to choose my walls and set in motion the butterfly effect of who my audience could be. There were only two factors at play- probability and myself. How was the collaboration with Urban Monkey unique to you? My collaboration with Urban Monkey has been a unique experience right from the beginning. Since I maintain a rather dystopian,conflict-centric view about the world, they tend to show up in my art, in the form of washed-out colors and expressions of conflict. For this collection, I learned to incline myself towards positivity and celebrations of street culture, and it’s honestly been such a breath of fresh air! That and it also helped me elevate my creation to a whole new standard, where it's not just about expressing myself but at the same time, making it inherently more appealing. Which I haven't done much before. Graffiti to me is the purest, adulteration-free means of self-expression What was the concept / ideology behind this collaboration? I take pride in my South-East Asian background and personally, my inclinations are anti-colonial and anti-oriental in nature with a lot of inspiration from Japanese culture. So, the theme behind the collaboration was to create a fusion of my feudal Japanese-inspired art style and iconic aspects of the hip-hop culture in India - Be it skating, dancing, or simply dressing up with swag for street cred. What is Indian streetwear according to you? Now I won’t pretend or claim that I am someone who has a deeper understanding of ‘Indian Streetwear’ or ‘Streetwear’ at that matter. For me, Indian Streetwear is synonymous with Indian Street Scene. It has its influences from the west, but the desi tadka is what makes it unique. Indian Streetwear should be raw and experimental with a throwback to western hip-hop while maintaining that desi tadka - Okami What does the word Graffiti mean to you? Graffiti to me is the purest, adulteration-free means of self-expression. I am not an outgoing or even moderately social person, so I put my name out there for the world to see. It wasn’t given to me by anyone, nor do I have any legal right to be called or known as Okami. I built it up from scratch and made it my identity. And for the very same reason, I respect everyone out there who did or is doing the same.

We at Sorted, love simple ideas, executed in a direct fashion without requiring layers of comprehension. - Studio Sorted The EXCLUSIVE collection opens a floodgate of emotions and memories, of old, warm and familiar moments. This is our way of encapsulating a little bit of our childhood in these modern yet timeless designs. Tell us a bit about yourself? How did you develop your style? As students studying architecture, we realized the vastness of design pretty early on, in due course of our education. That aside, we were always curious to find things to do outside education and combine it to do something that made us happy. It started off with making posters for music events back in 2015, and were fortunate enough to build something that excited us and we just kept moving ahead. What motivated us was to see the constant trajectory of our work getting better. Every day as a better version of our last day and every illustration/poster, a chance to create something better and new. Being artists it’s difficult to ever feel content, and the inner urge of being the best version of yourself is what kept us going How was the collaboration with Urban Monkey unique to you? We believe that both UrbanMonkey and Studio Sorted holds an important place in defining the visual culture of our generation in India. We see this collaboration as a unique chance to explore the graphic possibilities with the accessible, inclusive ‘street’ status that UrbanMonkey has carved for itself in the recent past. What was the concept / idealogy behind this collaboration? In consideration of the pandemic situation, we conjured the idea of lending a fresh perspective to common, familiar experiences or ‘childhood lessons’. The concept opened a floodgate of nostalgia and memories which we have channeled into the collections. The series is a hopeful comment on lending a renewed look at the well-known but hardly considered philosophies. Nothing that comes out of this studio leaves without a zing of wacky and cool. What is Indian streetwear according to you? Indian streetwear is a statement that youngsters today are creating to challenge the ‘unshakable’ traditions of the old world. This is an attempt by our generation to carve out an identity and make a mark in the history books, an attempt to own our own narrative. What does design mean to you? We believe that fashion is a unique form of design that you choose to wear on yourself, it makes for a comment on who you are and what you stand for.

What if hip-hop existed in the 1800’s? We imagine it would look something like this.☝️ This series explores how life would look if various art forms merged across different time zones. It goes without saying, but let’s get it out of the way: 2020 was a weird year. But what it offered us was a much-needed break, to sit back and think over our course of action. Which is why Mapuls EXCLUSIVE collection for Urban Monkey explores a world without limitations, a world that breaks away from the rigidness of our mundane lives and takes you into a whole different dimension. Tell us a bit about yourself? How did you develop your style? We three graduated as architects together and were a team since our initial college days. We were constantly finding a creative route to explore and kept doing small creatives since college but we never termed it or clubbed it under one name. Architecture did open our eyes towards designing and helped us with the basic principles of art - But there were certain limitations in exploring our thoughts completely. These limitations needed a way to come out, and that’s how we started doodling and exploring graphics. During this Lockdown that we took the step of naming the creatives, we do under a name and that’s how ‘Doodle Mapuls’ was established. What kept you going and how did it shape you? We were looking for a medium of reaching more people and also looking for an outlet to detoxify our minds from the mundane and constant hustle of office and Doodling became the silver lining to the work which saturates the mind to the point of exhaustion. We recharge our minds by pouring our strokes on paper, this self-satisfaction is what shapes us every day to be a better artist How was the collaboration with Urban Monkey unique to you? This may come across as made up but we visualized this day, to have our work on an Urban Monkey Product. This collaboration opened our eyes to the world of materializing the art we have. It taught us all the aspects of designing that we need to have in mind when it comes to bringing a product from a digital screen to cloth. What makes this collaboration even more special and unique was that, we were never restricted with our creative choices. To have a brand with such recognition trust you is truly grateful and we are thankful for this opportunity. What was the concept / ideology behind this collaboration? The New Old. We are so used to the fast and trendy life that we have started to leave behind our roots. What if one day the lines in between were blurred and a new time zone is created where all our art forms merge between the past and present? This series explores various art forms in merged time zones to give you a jest of how happening life would have been if we could juggle with time - Doodle Mapuls What is Indian streetwear according to you? Streetwear around the world helps in distinguishing the local culture and helps in understanding the local language of a place. According to us, Indian Streetwear is something that resonates with the culture-rich background that India holds. The artistic language needs to resonate with the common man. We in India need to start creating this language of cloth which will help us stand out with our cultural references.

Understand Your Face Shape The most important thing before buying a pair of sunnies is to understand what suits your face type. The following are the most common face shapes, and you know, always buy a pair that compliments your face structure. Oval Oblong Square Round Heart Triangle 2. Understand the Different Parts of Sunglasses Even though everyone uses sunglasses, not many people know the components of sunglasses. But, if you want to make an informed purchase decision, it's essential to know what makes a sunglass. The main parts include – Top Bar Bridge Hinge Joint Nose-pads Frame Rim Temple Tip 3. Pick the Right Frame Size The third (or the first, for some people) is to choose the correct frame size. It also depends on your face shape. It's a myth that you should steer clear of oversized frames if you have a smaller, roundish face. It all depends on the proportion of your face and bridge, eye, and temple size of the frame. 4. Choose the Right Material Most sunglasses are available in metal or plastic frames, and both have their pros and cons. Metal like aluminium, stainless steel, etc., are commonly used and offer strength and durability. Many classic sunglasses shapes like aviators are metal frames. But plastic frames offer more options, and designs are better fashion accessories. 5. Understand Different Types of Lenses Lenses are an essential part of the selection process. Depending on your need, you can choose from polarised lenses, non-polarised lenses, progressive lenses, gradient (or double-gradient lenses), plastic lenses, etc. New-age lenses like mirrored, oversized, smoke, or the ever-so-stylish sleek lenses work wonders for the fashion lover. Special coatings like anti-glare blue light coatings and UV coatings offer 99-100% UV protection, in addition to giving you sun protection. So, invest in a pair of glasses that not only make you look pretty but provide complete protection as well. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Which type of sunglasses is best? It depends on your style and the occasion. There are many stylish sunglasses like butterfly glasses, cat-eye glasses, oversized shades, and funky geometric shapes - boxy shape, hexagonal sunglasses, heart-shaped sunglasses, sunglasses with brow bars, etc., that you can choose from. 2. What are the names of sunglasses? Some of the standard range of sunglasses include –aviators, wayfarers, cat-eye glasses, round, oval, flip-up, shield glasses, side-shield glasses, tiny glasses, etc. 3. Why are sunglasses important? Just like you wear a sweater to protect yourself in the winters, sunglasses are essential accessories that protect your precious eyes. Also, thanks to the upgrade in sunglass designs, they have the power to transform even the most basic fashion look into something that is straight out of a high-end or street-fashion magazine! Be it a beach or a biker's club. There are one (too many) styles from every occasion and fashion trend. 4. Why should you own sunglasses? Sunglasses, shades, goggles, whatever be your pick, are an essential part of your ensemble. But, there's so much to sunglasses than just making a fashion statement. The right pair of shades protects your eyes from glaring sunlight, harmful UV rays, white light from LED screens, and dust, in addition to making you a fashion star. 5. What are the different types of sunglass lenses? There are many specialised lenses available that offer protection against LED glare, UV, dust, and sunlight. These include polarised lenses, non-polarised lenses, progressive lenses, gradient or double-gradient lenses, and tinted and mirrored lenses. 6. Which is better, UV protection or polarised? It depends on your requirements. UV protection sunglasses use a special UV protection coating over the lenses to give you 99-100% UV and sun protection. However, polarised glasses only prevent harmful glares (from devices) from causing you discomfort. So, if you are looking at genuine protection against the harmful UV A and B rays, you should opt for a UV-coated lens. Polarised and other tinted glasses make it easier to look outside in the sun or continuously sit in front of your computer (any LED screen that emits white light). 7. How many types of sunglasses are there? The list is practically endless! Check out our exclusive collection to choose your ideal pair. 8. What is the difference between sunglasses and shades? They are the same things. Shades, goggles, sunnies, etc., are the informal ways of referring to sunglasses. 9. How to clean sunglasses? Always make sure your hands are clean. Gently wash your glasses under lukewarm or regular tap water and shake them dry. Never rub your lenses. Use scratch-resistant lenses for longer durability. Use only a lotion-free lens cleaning liquid and a lint-free cloth to clean your sunglasses.
