My style mostly revolves around elevated basics with some statement pieces here and there. I love having my basics that I can return to time and time again. I gravitate toward a great white tee, denim jeans, and long skirts—they never go out of style. But I also love unique statement pieces that can elevate any look. I especially love supporting local brands for more unique additions to pair with my basics. My #StyleWeekend involves lots of self-care activities—anything I find recharging! This varies weekly, but it generally starts with taking the time to get ready and enjoy the process before heading out to a workout class, meeting friends and family, or visiting pop-ups for inspiration and some shopping!—Rannah Sy
Elongated silhouettes have become my go-to, blending simplicity with an ethereal quality that brings out the feminine, romantic side of me. Sweetheart necklines add a playful sweetness, and I’ve started experimenting with textures and patterns. My #StyleWeekend begins with a desire to explore. I’m always excited to see where my feet will take me and what new treasures I’ll discover. My heritage has instilled in me a love for culture, and you’ll often find me at local bazaars and trade fairs, immersing myself in art, heritage, and culture—connecting with the stories behind each handmade piece. As a student with a deep love for the humanities and arts, I often feel trapped in the rigidity of my weekdays devoted to studying law and business. The weekends are my chance to let creativity take the lead. It’s my time to let go of the practical side, let my passions take over, and simply be. My best friend and I often quote this Cebuano saying, “Mugara jud ko,” which means “to let myself go.” For me, Manila is a city where the possibilities feel endless. The weekend is my respite, my chance to embrace it all. Come the weekend, mugara jud ko.—Kathreen
My style is about comfort and flow—breathable fabrics, romantic necklines, and cuts that move with me. I’ve always found solace in wearing clothes that ground me, offering both a sense of ease and a quiet confidence. Above all, I like to keep it intentional yet unpretentious. My #StyleWeekend centers on tapping into my creative side—a much-needed escape as a law student. I love reading philosophy books, writing in my diary, and reflecting on what it means to be human and our place in this world. There’s something grounding in tracing the edges of our thoughts and letting them unfold creatively. I also love going on Sunday runs in Ayala, feeling the city’s rhythm as it wakes up with me. Exploring new cafes is another cherished ritual I share with my best friend (who was also photographed for this feature!). Whether it’s in Legazpi, Salcedo, Poblacion, or the little pockets of Quezon City, each place offers its own unique narrative. I often find myself dreaming and planning, envisioning the bag and shoe atelier I want to create with my dearest friend. Weekends are when I reconnect with the core of who I am, embracing creativity, movement, and moments of stillness all at once.—Noor
My style mostly depends on my mood, how I feel, and what makes me feel most confident that day. I like to try out different styles and outfits to discover what I love and what works best for me. My #StyleWeekend involves shopping and spending time with my loved ones.—Nica Co
