Innovative business models, sustainable fashion practices, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies are redefining how men shop for clothes in India, making this an exciting time for brands and retailers in the Indian fashion retail industry.

iMarc research agency defines menswear as the category of clothing specifically designed and tailored for men. It encompasses a diverse range of garments and accessories that cater to various occasions, styles, and preferences. From formal business attire to casual wear, menswear reflects the ever-changing trends and cultural influences that shape men's fashion.
