Fashion !

Fashion is all about the now. Why, then should people not see a fresh look every time
they walk into a Pantaloons store? That is the thought behind 'Fresh Fashion'. An idea
that has captured the imagination of young India. With a focus on the youth of today,
Pantaloons offers trendy and hip fashion that defines the hopes and aspirations of this
demography.

Pantaloons Fresh Fashion stands out as a fashion trendsetter, on the lines of how
fashion is followed internationally. The ‘look’ and ‘what’s in’ today for the season is
sacrosanct.

Pantaloons takes its promise of 'fresh fashion' very seriously making available to its
customers the latest in fashion every week!

All Pantaloons stores reflect the new ideology -- Fresh Feeling, Fresh Attitude, Fresh
Fashion. The stores offer fresh collections and are visually stimulating thanks to
appealing interiors and attractive product display!

The first Pantaloons was opened in Gariahat in 1997. Over the years, it has undergone
several transitions. When it was first launched, this store mostly sold external brands.
Gradually, it started retailing a mix of external brands while at the same time
introduced its own private brands. Initially positioned as a family store, it finally veered
towards becoming a fashion store with an emphasis on 'youth' and clear focus on ‘fresh
fashion’.

Today, the fashion store extends to almost all the major cities across the
country. Pantaloons has established its presence with stores not just in the metros, but
also in smaller towns.

Pantaloons stores have a wide variety of categories like casualwear, ethnicwear,

formalwear, partywear and sportswear for Men, Women and Kids.
