LOOKBOOK | Trendy in teal

halfwhiteboy - relaxed fit teal suit and chunky boots 01

And we just opened the door to yet another work week. It may be dreadful but I find motivation (somehow) in dressing up. I mean, where else can I go wearing all these clothes I accumulate?

A suit is always a good choice but it can sometimes be boring. But it shouldn't be because there are loads of colors out there other than black, blue, and gray. Case in point: teal, a color that most people find rather unusual, so you're sure to stand out from the crowd.

While I'm all for the classics, I also can't resist trends, which explains why this teal suit here has a baggy fit attuned to the current 90s-inspired craze. By default, I still prefer slimmer silhouettes in suits but wearing something roomy is also a nice alternative to keep things interesting. And in further keeping up with trends, I wore chunky boots to complement my relaxed look. I couldn't find the right tie to go with the suit, so I just made sure my collar didn't slouch.

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 .
