WHAT IS FASHION ABOUT- COMFORT OR BEAUTY?

In the words of fashion’s most legendary icon, “Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds,” said Coco Chanel.

In fact, fashion is an extension of a person, it’s a form of self-expression, an art, a quirk, a mood—it’s just so many things. And nothing can be more stylish than what makes one feel comfortable in their skin and joyful inside-out.

It’s interesting to note that every decade or so, clothing styles witness a different theme that directly reflects the zeitgeist. Historical events have a profound impact on society and culture, and fashion is no exception.

Turning back to the future, fashion has revealed its malleability with the events of the past two years. The pandemic caused a total shutdown of activities, think remote working, lockdowns, and virtual ‘everything’. If you’ve noticed, all the big names in fashion across the world are echoing the global social behaviour by introducing more relaxed, laidback styles that fit the need of the hour. Not saying office wear for evening wear has completely vanished, but today comfort definitely takes precedence over complex, elaborate genres.
