Wardrobe Changes Every Indian Makes When Moving From a Small Town to a Metro City

The First Thing to Go: The 'Best Clothes for Special Occasions' Category

In a small town, most people keep a mental partition, everyday clothes and good clothes. The good clothes come out for weddings, festivals, relatives visiting from outside. In a metro, that partition collapses almost immediately. Mumbai office floors, Delhi co-working spaces, Bengaluru startup campuses, these are places where people wear their good clothes on a Tuesday. The city's pace does not wait for an occasion. If you move with a suitcase full of casual cottons and one set of 'good' clothes, you will feel underdressed five days a week. The fix is not buying expensive pieces. It is redistributing what you already consider worthy of being seen in.
