The Iconic Archies comics are getting an Indian adaptation, thanks to Zoya Akhtar! We've seen the cast announcement over and over and can't stop obsessing over the nostalgic look of it all. The film is going to be the start of the career of Gen Z/Millennial Bollywood celebs which includes Shahrukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya, and Boney Kapoor's daughter Khushi Kapoor. Reggie Mantle, played by Vedang Raina (who is comparatively lesser known than the rest of the crew), is just as he should be in the comic books. Phew! Raina and Reggie both are athletic and attractive and we think he might be just the right fit. Known for his collared shirts, chinos, leather/biker jackets and bomber ones too, Reggie's character is meant to be a cool one. He also wears lots of sweatshirts, varsity jackets and jeans, so here's our pick of outfits that you can don to rock the Reggie Mantle look.

Collared T-shirts

No one does collared t-shirts like U.S. Polo and Ralph Lauren. So, if you want to be the casual Reggie Mantle, that is where you should shop. But for the real deal, there is no one like Tommy Hilfiger for the casual collared tees!  

Varsity Jackets

Reggie Mantle is a jock through and through, so there's no way you cannot throw on a varsity jacket. Van Heusen Sport, Roadster and The Souled Store are ideal for this. We also quite like this one from Zara too!

Biker & Bomber Jacket

For Bomber jackets, we will not let you look beyond Zara! They have faux leather, with patches, contrasting, quilted, basic, cotton and suede too, so if you are the Reggie kinds, then pick up at least a few here. They are fairly reasonably priced too with INR 2,500 being the starting price. And for good quality jackets, that is not too bad. 

If you're too lazy to browse, here is there collection of all jackets with best-sellers from each category!

Chinos & Jeans

Reggie Mantle is usually in chinos and jeans. For chinos, we highly recommend Van Heusen, Marks & Spencer and . From Van Heusen, check out the khakhi trousers for the same retro look. For the causal look, like when Reggie is just hanging out with the crew, chinos are best, and best chinos are from H&M for a budget! For the more formal, but still I-Am-A-Cool-Jock look, Marks & Spencer will sort you out. For everything else, Uniqlo

For jeans? We're always going to say Levi's, Wrangler and Jack & Jones.  

Sailing Shorts

A more formal version of the surfer shorts, Reggie (at least in the comic books), is seen plenty in sailing shorts. We found the best of those kinds at United Colors Of Benetton. Another great options, and with more colours, fabrics and styles, is Uniqlo
