Great buys for school

Goodbye to the long hot days of summer and those skin-baring tankinis. Time to update your wardrobe for the new school year. Corso Marconi kicks off the back-to-school season with discounts of up to 80 percent to provide the young and fashionable with great Italian buys at knockdown prices. Trendy feminine tops go for as low as P200, while pants for guys are from P500 and up.

Thin-strapped tops from Gianfranco Ferre, Motivi, Pietrogrande, Compagnia Italia can be paired with stylish graphic jeans from Versace or cotton pants from Onyx and Ellen Capellino. Capri pants from Gai Mattiolo and Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti and deconstructed denim skirts from Rose D. are matched with these flattering tops for a casual schoolgirl look. Add instant style with a cardigan from Blue Joint and Anis.
