Chic to chic

MANILA, Philippines - Upping the style stakes doesn’t necessarily mean going beyond the basic tricks of the trade, especially in the realm of high street fashion — where a simple white button-down can take you from the boardroom to the dance floor. Season after season, eye-catching fads take over the runways, but when the thrill fades and the look-of-the-moment loses its appeal, the everyday woman is left with an unsettling question: What to wear now?

The key is investing in essential pieces that transcend seasons and reasons — a  boyfriend shirt or a pencil skirt can easily jump from one look to another without losing its novelty; a classic pair of jeans can go from casual to date night. Fill your closet with timeless silhouettes that neutralize the loudness of statement looks —shock value is not bad, but it’s always best to keep it clean and chic.

Shangri-La Plaza, the country’s top fashion hotspot, houses a wide selection of off-the-rack brands that offers the perfect balance of preen and edge — staples and trendy choices that you can always mix and match on days when you feel like you have “nothing to wear.”
