Dastak means a knock. An arrival. The sound of something new making itself known.
Rarree's Spring Summer 2026 collection announces itself quietly but with complete confidence — a range of men's clothing that bridges traditional Indian craft and modern silhouette without compromising either. This is the complete guide to every piece in the Dastak SS26 collection: what it's made from, why it was designed the way it was, and how to wear it.
The Ikat Shirts
Kusha Ikat Shirt — Olive Green Cuban Collar
Available in Full Sleeve and Half Sleeve
Named after the sacred Kusha grass — linear, rooted, quietly powerful — this shirt carries the same energy. Its olive-green V-motifs are woven directly into 100% hand-woven Ikat cotton using precision-dyed yarns on a traditional handloom. The pattern isn't printed on. It's built into the fabric, thread by thread.
The result is a depth and tactility that no screen print or digital fabric can replicate. A relaxed Cuban collar and breathable pure cotton base keep it grounded in ease. Available in both full and half sleeve depending on how much sun you're working with.
Fabric: 100% Hand-Woven Artisan Ikat Cotton
Best for: Daywear, artisan fairs, coastal weekends, creative offices
Tarang Ikat Shirt — Rose & White Cuban Collar
Available in Full Sleeve and Half Sleeve
Tarang means waves, and this shirt moves exactly like its name. The hand-woven Ikat pattern in rose, pink, and salt white has the blurred-edge quality that only comes from resist-dyeing yarn before weaving — each piece subtly different from the last. The full sleeve version works beautifully for evenings; the half sleeve is made for coastal summer days.
Fabric: 100% Hand-Woven Artisan Ikat Cotton
Best for: Resort wear, evening occasions, beach trips, rooftop gatherings
The Striped Cotton Shirts
Vayu Cotton Striped Shirt
Vayu is named after the wind — and it earns the name. Cut from 100% yarn-dyed cotton seersucker, it's one of the most breathable shirts in the collection. The yarn-dyed process means colours are woven in rather than printed on, keeping them vivid wash after wash. The slight crinkle texture of seersucker is by design: it lifts the fabric away from the skin, creating airflow that flat-woven cottons can't match.
Fabric: 100% Yarn-Dyed Cotton Seersucker
Best for: Office wear, summer travel, everyday casual, garden gatherings
Aarambh Cotton Striped Shirt
Aarambh means beginning — the hero shirt of the Dastak SS26 debut. Also crafted in cotton seersucker with yarn-dyed stripes, it's the collection's most versatile piece. Wear it to mark a beginning: a first day, a launch, a celebration. The name is an intention built into the fabric.
Fabric: 100% Yarn-Dyed Cotton Seersucker
Best for: Launches, celebrations, festivals, first impressions
The Overshirts
Nirvaan Overshirt
Nirvaan means the ultimate state of calm — and this overshirt delivers. A relaxed button-down cut in premium cotton-linen blend with a natural slub finish that only improves with time. Wear it open as a layer or buttoned as a standalone. The breezy drape makes it as comfortable on a slow coastal morning as it is at a sunset gathering.
Fabric: Premium Cotton-Linen Blend
Best for: Layering, coastal travel, weekend events, sunset occasions
Vivaan Overshirt
Vivaan draws its soul from the earth — warm terracotta, faded rose, and sun-bleached sand woven into an all-over marble print on a cotton-linen pullover. A camp collar and single tonal button keep it unhurried. This is one of the most visually distinctive pieces in the collection — earthy, quietly striking, and impossible to replicate in fast fashion.
Fabric: Premium Cotton-Linen Blend, all-over marble wash
Best for: Outdoor gatherings, weekend escapes, golden-hour events
Teer Overshirt (Pre-order)
Teer means arrow — and this Khadi overshirt moves with the same precision. 100% hand-spun and hand-woven Khadi cotton with hand-embroidered geometric arrow motifs (Teer) and a utility half-zip placket. The off-white Khadi base carries the natural irregularities of the loom — no two pieces identical. A genuine craft object in overshirt form.
Fabric: 100% Hand-Spun & Hand-Woven Khadi Cotton
Best for: Cultural occasions, art events, considered everyday dressing
Mudra Overshirt (Pre-order)
Mudra — the seal of craftsmanship. Marbled forest-green Khadi with ornate golden printed motifs across the surface. Majestic and grounded simultaneously. The structured yet airy Khadi feel becomes softer with every wear. A statement piece for those who want their clothing to say something before they do.
Fabric: 100% Hand-Spun Khadi Cotton, printed gold motifs
Best for: Evening gatherings, creative events, stylish layering
Sage & Sun Overshirt (Pre-order)
Sage & Sun is the collection's most celebratory piece — a rich sage-green Khadi with golden sun-medallion prints and a half-placket hybrid silhouette that sits between a kurta and an overshirt. For festivals, family occasions, or any moment where you want to show up fully.
Fabric: 100% Hand-Spun Khadi Cotton
Best for: Cultural celebrations, festive occasions, elevated weekend wear
The Premium Shirt
Aveer Semi-Modal Silk Shirt (Pre-order)
Aveer means bright — and this shirt earns it. Crafted from Semi-Modal Silk (a refined cotton and modal blend), it carries a subtle natural sheen without looking overdressed. Featherlight and moisture-wicking, it's the shirt for when the occasion calls for more: an art opening, an upscale gathering, an evening where you want to arrive and be noticed.
Fabric: Semi-Modal Silk (Cotton + Modal Blend)
Best for: Evening events, gallery openings, upscale gatherings
The Trouser
Hans Straight-Fit Trouser
Hans — named after the white swan — carries the same quiet elegance. High-density cotton twill with a diagonal weave that holds its sharp drape from morning to evening. A modern straight fit, tonal buttons, reinforced stitching, and deep utility pockets. The blank canvas the rest of the collection is built around.
Fabric: High-Density Cotton Twill
Best for: Office, resort wear, urban evenings, pairing with any shirt in the collection
