Man of style: The Voice's Chris Mann

Without a doubt there are a lot of good singers on The Voice, but this classically-trained guy who sings with an operatic voice caught my attention. Sure Chris Mann of Team Xtina has this great voice but I also noticed he was all suited-up during the blind auditions. Fast forward to the battle round, he wore a suit jacket to rehearsals. Rehearsals, baby, rehearsals! I thought, okay, this certainly is how he dresses.

During the battle round, however, it wasn't a suit that he wore but a leather jacket, a purple tie and maroon pants. So the guy isn't strictly the suit-and-tie type after all. I thought it played a part in his trying to heed his coach's advice to loosen up. Nevertheless, he looked good.

Chris Mann has actually been around the music scene for some time now, having performed at different venues and events. Heck, he even did a duet with American Idol's Katharine McPhee on David Foster and Friends in L.A. and in Washington D.C.! And in almost all those performances, he was always suited up.

Performing at an event, Mann was dashing in a perfectly-fitted suit.

Despite his apparent propensity to go all formal, Mann also knows how to dress down. He wears a suit with sneakers, dons a suit-and-tie combo but with jeans, or puts on a suit jacket over a vest but yes, with jeans. He can also slip on a pair of worn out green loafers with a tux.

Apparently Mann has been doing some photo shoots already. And even if the styling were the work of some professional, he owns it and his sense of style just comes through the photographs.

Casual chic but with those green loafers again.

Oh, he does shades, too! The pocket square is definitely something that's part of his arsenal.

The singer is also fond of vests over shirts with rolled-up sleeves. Some preppy look there, huh!

And in case you don't know -- although I guess you already know -- Chris Mann was once a Warbler. See if you can spot him here:

Despite all this, Mann still needs that big break in his music career. So good luck to him on The Voice. But whatever the outcome, he definitely is a man of style, and no one can take that away from him.

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
