MANILA, Philippines - In the grand tradition of YStyle, we paired one of our favorite young photographers Ralph Mendoza with up-and-coming sketch artist Mano Gonzales to bring you an artful look at the accessories that will gear your wardrobe towards the coming season.
Paradise lost
The windy weather has been pleasantly nipping at our stilettos this entire month and it seems that the unbearable heat of the summer season is a far cry away. But with the unpredictability of global warming, it’s time to start thinking about transitioning your wardrobe to anticipate the return of the sun’s warm embrace. While waiting impatiently for the summer collections to start hitting the stores, get an early start by updating your accessories arsenal instead. Think about adding bright accoutrements to your otherwise subdued fall/winter wardrobe for a mix of pale pastels and neon brights that will take you all the way through the next few months.
