MANILA, Philippines - British India’s latest collection is all about enchantment.
Men can imbibe the languid feel of the exotic locale with polo shirts in 100 percent linen or cotton. Be it in solid versions of light mocha, or a deeper moss green with floral embroidery, the look is one that’s a bit more casual. Push the Indian sojourn even further with a kurta, updated in light pink. For more traditional garb, British India also offers plaid polo shirts, to be paired with the brand’s trusty chinos and khakis.
The bohemian flair comes to the fore for women in the brand’s selection of maxi skirts — in plain khaki, or a more romantic, tiered version in olive, or a belly-dancer-apropos one, in pleated mint-green cotton with a beaded waistband. They can be paired with a plain T-shirt, a white peasant top, or a knotted polo shirt in deep raspberry, respectively, to move from day to night. British India is more than just a resort-and-casual line; a sheer black peasant top, paired with wide-leg blue jeans, shows off the versatile nature of the brand.
The collection is available at the British India store at Midtown Ermita, and at Cinderella at Glorietta 3 and Alabang Town Center.
