LOOKBOOK | Cargo pants can work, too

halfwhiteboy - making cargo pants work 01

Probably one of fashion's most derided pieces are cargo pants, of which we almost immediately associate with ugly and baggy trousers which multitude of pockets are bulging with anything conceivable stuffed in them.

But throw in a slimmer silhouette with stylized stitching, alternative color options, and some self-restraint in wantonly stuffing everything you have in those pockets, and cargo pants probably wouldn't be as frowned upon in the fashion world. Yes, I do enjoy loose-fitting cargo pants and shorts, too, but I make a conscious effort to not over-stuff my pockets. I guess it's key. Forget function and let those pockets stay empty.

These decorative deer remind me of my gorgeous bottle of Penhaligon's The Tragedy of Lord George.

Did I get it right?

I'm enjoying this copper brown piece with its tapered fit. Kept the top plain and simple with a complementing gray tee while injecting some color with red sneakers.

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

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.

Man of style: Steven Tyler

Image
What? Yes, Steven Tyler. He obviously does not fit the bill of the suited type or the GQ man but hey, the man's got style. And he's got swag, baby! Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.
