Make your clothes work for you

MANILA, Philippines - No matter how well-prepared and organized you are, there are times when life simply throws you off-track, especially when you’re at work. You can’t change how your daily life unfolds, but you can actually change your attitude — keep the get-up-and-go spirit, stay positive, and look good while you’re at it.

So stay cool when you’re stuck in a major traffic jam, when you’re already late or when your laptop quits on you just when you’re about to make an important presentation. And in case you haven’t noticed, things seem to work better when you’re fashionably dressed. Memo’s preholiday 2012 collection, features a selection of work wear to help today’s men and women rise up to the challenges of each working day.

A wardrobe that works: Memo’s latest collection showcases a sharply-tailored vintage mod for those who work hard for the money.

“Today’s lifestyles require you to be ready at a moment’s notice. A normal day at the office could turn out to be hectic as dinner meetings could suddenly arise. Circumstances beyond your control could also happen, that’s why it’s important that you have the ability to make things work and act with confidence in stylish, versatile pieces of clothing,” says Memo brand director Ronnie Celestial.

For the women, Memo’s latest collection showcases a sharply-tailored vintage mod. Dresses, skirts, pants, and tops all feature clean lines and well-defined silhouettes to convey not just a keen sense of style but confidence as well.

Men need not look staid and boring as they walk into the boardroom with pieces that exude easy confidence and a knack for troubleshooting problems at work. Off to an important client presentation, but there’s a highway gridlock? Jump on a two-wheeled solution and bike your way to that business pitch looking dapper in a pair of gray slim pants, color-blocked button-down blue top that says you’ve got all the key elements of a winning proposition. Dark horizons hinting of a heavy downpour as you’re walking off to a business conference? Dodge the ominous scenario with this daring combination of maroon slim pants, dark blue shirt, and nude blazer that conveys surefire determination to get to the top, come hell or high water.
