New kids on the block
It’s easy to keep up with the trends thanks to shopping behemoths like The Block at SM North Edsa. Stocked with fashion-forward retailers like Mango, Forever 21, Bysi and Chocolate Clothing Co., the sleek, cube-like structure has everything a stylish gal needs. YStyle takes you on a tour of the hottest trends hitting the metro. Girls, sit up and take notes.
The future is here
Futurism isn’t going anywhere. Not for a while, at least. While literal futurism has already been shown the door, a sporty So-Cal take on the trend has been hitting high street retailers all over the globe. Mango has all you need to capture the easy-chic, sporty trend. Take one part slouchy silhouette, one part metallic material and a flash of skin — and you have the makings of the perfect sporty-futuristic look of the season.
Lady be good
Finding it difficult to straddle the line between corporate and all-together-too-stale fashions? Bysi has feminine pieces that can easily transition from workplace wardrobe to ladies-who-lunch attire. Ruffled necklines, floaty fabrics and a subtle palette can take you anywhere.
Man of the house
It’s time to indulge your masculine side. Chocolate Clothing Co.’s selection of classic tailored pieces can work to your advantage. Vests, loose pants and jumpers offer classic coverage with just a hint of sex appeal. These tailored fashions aren’t only easy on the eye — they’re also extremely comfortable to wear.
She’s a little bit country
Take those country references out of the dustbin and give them a bit of polish because these cute dresses have all the sass of a western wardrobe minus the hicksville quality. Country-inspired clothing has gotten a bad rap lately — no thanks, in part, to Christina Aguilera’s buttless chaps. But Forever 21’s range of frocks, from lacey feminine pieces to floral dresses and plaids in a dusty hue, are every country girl’s dream. And, this time, you won’t have to leave the city to get a taste of the country.
