The lines between formal and casual events have become increasingly blurred. With fewer occasions demanding formal attire, people have embraced a more casual and laid-back approach to fashion, often resorting to the easiest and most comfortable options.

Many individuals prioritize efficiency and convenience, choosing ready-to-wear outfits that require minimal effort.
