Binoy embodies the traditional attire of Bengali men, wearing a dhoti with the unique Bengali pleating style. The dhoti, a long piece of cloth draped around the waist and legs, dates back to the Vedic period, making it one of the oldest forms of clothing in India. The pleated front, often held in the left hand to create a fan-like effect, adds elegance to the attire and is especially prominent during religious ceremonies and cultural festivals like Durga Puja.

He pairs the dhoti with an elegantly embroidered kurta (long shirt), adding a touch of sophistication to his attire.For special occasions, a decorative shawl is often draped over the shoulder, symbolizing dignity and grace. This look has been popularized over centuries, from the Mughal era to the British colonial period, where Bengal was known for its intellectual and cultural renaissance, influencing fashion across India.
