Menswear is experimenting like never before even as it retains the professional
look. ‘Forma-Linens’, an innovative collection from Peter England, caters primarily to professionals. It has a range of meticulously crafted formal shirts in linen-Tencel blend, offering both style and comfort.

Confident strides

Keeping in mind the summer season, the collection offers a sophisticated and modern look in linen fabric by offering 20 trendy colours. 

Shades like coral rose, purple, Pacific depth, sapphire blue, pista green, apricot rush, intense grey, lilac, lavender, powder blue and aqua green among others dominate the latest collection.

Nidhi Raj, creative director, Peter England, Madura F&L, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd, says, “On the occasion of the completion of 20 years of Peter England in India, we wanted to showcase a line of clothing that brings out authenticity and variety. ”

Highlighting the fabrics used in the collection, he says, “We have used our experience and expertise to curate a range that is a combination of cotton, linen and Tencel. We wanted to create shirts which a consumer can wear all through the day — to work and as evening or party wear. The cotton-linen blend perfectly fits our requirement of an outfit that is formal and also looks good as casual wear. Tencel is a beautiful fabric and picks up the dye faster, making it brighter and clearer. This gives it a more pristine and crisp look.”  

The brand caters to not just formal and casual menswear but has also new product lines like ‘Indies’ (a contemporary take on men’s ‘kurtas’, suits and blazers), ‘Peter England Elite’ (the premium formal wear line), ‘Peter England Denim Collection’,
‘Peter England Perform’

(a range that encourages consumers to lead an active lifestyle) and  accessories
like shoes, bags and sunglasses.
