We believe there’s plenty of sartorial mileage left in the Formula 1 circuits which is increasing thanks to the likes of fashionable young drivers like Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari. And the algorithm push highlighting their thirst traps on the ‘gram just makes it easy, right? Capitalising on this very sentiment, fashion labels have become more interested in catering to the Formula 1 fan base with collections honouring the sport.
This year, A$AP Rocky’s debut collection as creative director of Puma X F1 sold out pretty quick, and Chanel’s T-shirt inspired by Formula 1 racing went viral. Now if Indian fans are looking for a slice of the same, here at home, we’ve curated a list of 8 Indian labels, whose designs posses the potential of seducing the F1 fan in you.

It would be an abomination to forgo the inclusion of a denim boiler suit in a story around Formula 1. Adorned with minimal with floral appliqué, this no fuss, anti-fit outfit from Essé clothing is the ultimate ensemble for those who worship the racing statistics of Toto Wolf.

Crop tops for the win. Versatile at heart and the perfect option for maximalists, this graphic printed Second Skin Diversity Crop Top is doused in abstractism. Pair it with a pair of baggy cargos on your next Formula 1 game night with buddies.

Nothing like an elevated, contemporary coord set to break the monotony. If comfort and style rank equally high on the scale for you, give this scintillating number in blue by Indian label Phue a shot.
Bhaane

One of their most loved offerings, the Rising Sun wool sweater by Bhaane undoubtedly deserves a spot on this list. While it does evoke Chak De India vibes to be honest (and I don’t see why it would be a problem), the coloured panels are reminiscent of old-school sporting events and are brimming with nostalgia.
Shia Rai
