You surely know many #BossBabes, and you are definitely one yourself! While women are becoming the powerhouse of many corporates, men have adjusted well enough and started to "man-up". The line between gender roles is blurring more and more with every passing year, which has lead to the top spots of many companies associated with both genders. Hence its safe to say that gender roles in India are going through a major change.
There is something known as stay at home mom's but guess what, the patriarchal stereotype is slowly breaking down with men now filling in for all the working moms out there. Not only are they staying home and spending time with the kids, they're extending a helping hand in the kitchen and for various household chores. We can definitely say that this idea is leading India to a global outlook and we couldn't be more proud of the men doing such things. They say behind every successful man is a woman, but behind every successful woman is a man who stands right by her side, supporting her in every task.
So as we acknowledge this change and appreciate men who are finally manning up, we've put together a list of the most fashion forward athleisure wear for all you gentlemen out there!
