FEATURE Daily Wear Brands Dominate Mall Space! Daily wear has become a go-to option for work, home and evenings out, and is making its presence felt in mall sales too. Mr Vikash Pacheriwal, Co-founder of Raisin, analyses this trend. Every shopping plan or a day out today is designed with just one idea—“Let’s go to the mall!” Easier to access and definitely worth an experience, malls have mushroomed around the world, allowing people to enjoy the thrill of buying everything under one roof. From food, entertainment and activities to shopping from premium brands, there are ample opportunities to spend time and enjoy! Emphasising on comfort and personal presentation over conformity and formality, daily wear takes the utmost importance in our wardrobes these days. Wearing casual can free one from the traditional rules of looking overdressed or underdressed at any point of time. A casual dress can help one pull off a day at work and make one look great down at the pub after work too. Today, daily wear brands are dominating mall space in unimaginable ways. Though the lines that differentiate clothing categories have blurred to a great extent, comfort still plays the role of utmost importance. One can easily alter the definition of casual wear, depending on the occasion or season. However, anything that can be worn for both work and leisure qualifies as casual wear. 60 I APPAREL I April 2019
