LOOKBOOK | Cream and green

halfwhiteboy - cream oversize t-shirt and green relaxed fit pants 01

The relaxed fit clothes trend is becoming more and more commonplace these days, most notably among Gen Z kids. But this vibe reminds me a lot of the 90s of my youth, where nearly everything was baggy. However, with their updated take on what has been, today's pieces feel more refined somehow, and I am increasingly falling in love with them by the day.

The green pants are part of a baggy suit set but I decided to wear them as separates for now. The color is certainly something. Even though it's not really much of a deal for me, apparently other people find it rather unusual, something that few can pull off. Really? Anyway, how ironic that the pants are pleated because I used to hate pleats so much. I felt they were unfashionable and that they only added volume to what should have been perfectly tapered, slim-fitting trousers. Tastes change, I suppose.

Moving on, I feel so relaxed and light on my feet in these pants, said feeling bolstered perhaps by my choice of footwear. For my top, I picked this textured oversize t-shirt and wore it tucked in, accentuating yet another of my trousers' characteristics—that they're high-waisted, albeit not too much. (On a side note, I'm still on a passive hunt for some really high-waisted pants.)

The scarf here is my only arsenal against the office air conditioning. It's a fun accessory since I can wear it in so many different ways as I please.

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 .
