British India’s stylish twist on the safari look

MANILA, Philippines -Purveyor of contemporary casuals British India strikes gold with its latest collection — a stylish twist on the safari look that marries comfortable silhouettes and fabrics with bold colors and embellishments.

For the boys, cross-stitch embroidery livens up basic cotton voile polos. Teamed with white pants, they are the perfect hot-weather outfit, excellent for the beach or cocktails by the pool.

If you’re after a little more color, team the pants instead with a tangerine button-down, perfect for sunset sojourns. A similarly hued blouse in orange with black trim for the ladies also goes well with flared chiffon pants in midnight purple to further push the color story way into dusk. The same hues turn up on a tulip skirt, teamed with a crisp white shirt that can go from sunup to sundown.

If you want to go the classic route, British India’s men’s polos also come in classic ivory, a striking yet classic combination when paired with slim spandex pants in the lightest pink, for that extra twist. The same hues turn up on a checked short-sleeved shirt for a casual date.

On the weekends, dare to experiment with a bit more print, like a 100-percent-cotton dobby shirt in fine florals for the boys, or an Indian sari print blouse in emerald, purple, and orange for girls. Both team well with rustic brown — either khaki pants for him or a midi skirt for her.

Embroidery also kicks up the style quotient a notch with a navy knee-length skirt with florid embroidery, which matches perfectly with a lightweight linen tank and a lightweight cardigan for balmy nights.

British India is exclusively distributed by Cinderella Marketing Corporation, available in leading shopping malls nationwide such as Robinson’s Ermita, Midtown, Cinderella Alabang Town Center, Cinderella Glorietta 3 and now open in Shangri-La Plaza’s East Wing.
