The safari look goes boho

MANILA, Philippines - Turn the concrete jungle into an exotic locale wearing British India’s holiday collection.

Still inspired by the same safari aesthetic that grounds every look from the label, British India’s current collection takes on a darker palette, in step with the season.

Midnight-blue batik dresses and faded azure pants mix with saffron skirts and white cotton blouses for a relaxed feel. For the men, the same deep blue shade is echoed in the diamante patterns on lightweight button-downs, which are paired with khaki and midnight-blue chinos in breathable twill.

Indeed, such fabric choices ensure maximal comfort in our tropical climes. British India’s pieces are made of various types of cotton — either knit, spandex, cotton lawn, or 100-percent-cotton, as well as durable and comfy khakis.

The silhouettes, on the other hand, give off a slightly bohemian air: peasant skirts and belted shirtdresses for the ladies and short-sleeved polos for the men. What’s more, British India offers a wide range of sizes for both men and women, ensuring a highly accessible and wearable collection — one that is equal parts urban and boho, the better to inspire wanderlust and the spirit of travel, no matter where you may be — even in the city.

British India branches are located at Robinsons Midtown Ermita, Cinderella Alabang Town Center and Cinderella Glorietta 3.
