Fashion is about being comfortable and being able to pick and choose what works for you, says Manish Kapoor, managing director and chief executive officer of denim and casual wear brand Pepe Jeans London. “It is not necessary to do what the world is doing. What makes you look and feel good is fine,” he says.
That is not to say that he has not cringed at the sight of certain ensembles. As someone who has been in the fashion industry for decades now, Kapoor finds it difficult to understand certain preferences, even if they have been adopted into everyday attires. Sneakers with suit or blazer is one, he says. “Kids today wear sliders with socks along with shorts. I still feel that is not cool,” he adds. His comfort attire is denims paired with a white T-shirt and sneakers.
