The defeats are a jolt to a full-strength Pakistan side in their preparations for the Twenty20 World Cup
We are likely to see an increase in demand for sustainable wear, rather than seasonal trends. The upcoming collections will focus on strong individual expression and identity, with fast fashion taking a back-seat. Consumers will expect minimalism, creativity and innovation from designers. Fashion is likely to remain unrestricted; bold co-ordinates and silhouettes that are easy-care and durable. Think, unstructured garments with imagination and freedom. There will be a shift in buying patterns too, consumers will focus on online shopping.

We'll be protective of exposing our bodies, similar to what happened post-Spanish flu
There will be a big shift in the whole fashion industry. People's clothing choices will radically change, and it will stay for quite some time. Comfortable loungewear including silk pyjamas and chiffon dresses will be a closet staple. Consumers will be more protective of their bodies and will stay away from exposing it publicly, similar to what happened post-Spanish flu. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants will be a statement. I also believe that bold and popping colours will be in-style as it is an instant mood booster. Instinctively, people might not spend too much on clothing but eventually, when things get better, I think the fashion industry will soon rise again. Now is the great time for the fashion industry to re-strategize and re-imagine the future of the fashion market on a global scale.
People will shop for more relaxed, comfort wears like joggers, leggings, sweats, hoodies, etc. Expect the relaxed look to continue for day-to-day wear as people remain at home. Athleisure will also remain key. For special occasions, people will dress up and spend more, as going out becomes less frequent. Some customers will become more cautious about their clothes and opt for more sustainable products. Spending will see a shift, as most people are likely to shop less but buy higher-priced products that will last them for longer.
