a new line in casual clothes

We are starting a new line in casual clothes.

Hi,

Is it right to interpret "a new line" in the above as "a new kind/type?" ThANKS.
  

Top answer

It should read 'a new line of casual clothes' to be natural. A line is a stock of commercial goods of the same general class but having a range of styles, sizes, prices, or quality: the company's line of shoes . Therefore, kind/type are inadequate substitutes.
