Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has been a style icon in his country.
Now that the 65-year-old is also set to become the prime minister of Pakistan as he gears up to take the oath of office on August 11, the social circle is abuzz with what they are calling ‘Naya Pakistan (New Pakistan)’.
Many of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf members who emerged victorious have their own distinctive style. While there is an expectation of a ‘Naya Pakistan’ to emerge out of this political reversal, it seems the country is also set to embrace the party’s ‘Naya’ style as well.
