Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world; people are living differently in all aspects: the ways they are socializing, buying, or even thinking before doing something, have led to dramatic transformations in different types of business. Some companies are thriving while others are struggling to stay alive, restructuring their products management and services. Many workers fear for their livelihoods and still working even not being paid. Consumers, in general, tend to retract non-essential purchases but on the other hand they have learned to adapt quickly to overcome the constraints imposed by governments. They also started working from home at the same time their younger children started taking online classes. Suddenly our home became our world, the place where we study, build, eat, do sports, and share our fears and our hopes. So, if we all stay there longer, what does your wardrobe look like?
The purpose of this paper is to gather as much information as possible to understand how the enclosure experiences have transformed people’s ways of dressing.
