Prime Minister Imran Khan released a video message on Sunday night dressed in a blue tracksuit, which is basically all of us right now.

The prime minister called on the United Nations and international financial institutions to consider extending debt relief for developing countries burdened with high foreign debts in order to free up funds to fight the virus, given the exceptional circumstances.

"While in the developed world the main dilemma is containing the coronavirus through lockdowns and then dealing with the economic impact, in the developing world, apart from containing the virus and dealing with the economic crisis, our biggest worry now is people dying of hunger," he said. "There’s a huge discrepancy in the resources available to us in the developing world and the resources available to the developed world."

Prime Minister Khan's comfy attire reflects a global mood. With no longer any need to commute or be present in a conventional workplace during lockdown and quarantine, the world has seen dress codes relax as people figure out a more comfortable, new normal of working from home (WFH) remotely.

In this new normal, the boundaries between home and not-home have broken down - along with the impetus to dress up for anything beyond heading from the bedroom to the kitchen to the living room and back.

On the other hand, quarantine has taken dressing up with nowhere to go to new lengths, from dressing up just for pictures or Zoom sessions with friends to the #DontRush TikTok challenge, in which friends collaborate to create elaborate before-and-after looks.

With Pakistan heading into week three of lockdown, quarantine fashion is taking over as the new glam and it looks like it's here to stay.
