Clothes Sizes


wealthymatters

These days lots of foreign clothes brands have a presence in India.But there is still a large tilt towards luxury clothes.Even foreign high street and budget brands try to position themselves as luxury and have prices to match.

Abroad there are many more mid-range and budget clothes brands we know nothing about,unless we have been abroad.The clothes might be made in India ,Bangladesh etc,but we have never seen them in the local shops.The quality of the fabric,design,cut and finish are superior to those of even high-end Indian brands.So it makes sense to buy clothes abroad if we can.Also come places  have  favourable tax regimes that makes clothes cheaper than similar ones in India.

Having friends and relations abroad purchase a few outfits is a long established Indian tradition.The devil is just to ensure that the clothes fit.Previously this was always a dicey thing,unless you wanted everything to be baggy or stretchable.But with the globalization of the last 2 decades,there’s been a standardization of clothes sizes.So now you can get better fits,so long as you know the right international sizes.

A Little More Realism Please


wealthymattersThere is nothing good about pessimism.It merely saps initiative and energy.So the new RBI Governor’s strong start was welcome. However there is only so much that the RBI can do.So there is no sense in giving way to irrational exuberance.For too long our government has tried to orchestrate  atmospherics and make loose policy statements.However the reality has been no concerted action to implement policies.So instead of believing that the capable hands of Raghuram Rajan will kick start the economy,we’d better push the government to act at the ground level. Talking ourselves into believing that all is right means we will not be doing the things we need to do to set things right.
