When it comes to my style, I love switching between feminine and streetwear. Lately, though, I’ve been in love with wearing feminine-fitting pieces because I embrace my curves wholeheartedly. Growing up on the heavier side, I used to shy away from certain styles like tube tops and crop tops because I never saw someone like me wear them. Then I realized, I’m not here to fit the “size” made and dictated by society. I’m here to challenge it. I’m here to embrace every curve and every part of myself while looking amazing. To me, fashion is meant to empower, not limit. So never let the size at the back of the tag restrict you from wearing what you want. Clothes are meant to fit you, not the other way around. My #StyleWeekend begins with my favorite thing to do in the world—raiding my closet and making a mess out of it. Some days, I go all black for that dark feminine vibe, which feels powerful and effortlessly chic. On other days, I reach for softer shades like creams and other light neutrals, creating a lighter, more relaxed look. It’s all about how the clothes make me feel: confident, comfortable, and unapologetically myself.—Chia
My personal style is a mixture of trendy and casual pieces. I like to mix and match comfortable pieces like denim with more stylish tops. Some days, I keep it laid-back with jerseys and oversized shirts. Other days, I lean toward minimalist and monochrome outfits that are both chic and understated. I also enjoy a casual yet elegant look, blending comfort with a touch of sophistication for a balanced and stylish appearance. This versatility allows me to adapt my style to different moods and settings while maintaining a unique, fashion-conscious edge. My #StyleWeekend usually involves a cozy homebody vibe, but when I have the time or get an invite from friends, I love checking out new cafés around the Metro, as well as visiting flea markets and pop-up shops.—Mika Alcantara
My style is comfy and relaxed. I love to travel, explore different places, and learn about their cultures, and I want to do all of that comfortably through my clothing. Of course, I still make sure to maintain a feminine touch in my looks. My #StyleWeekend begins with planning my week around work, running personal errands, and visiting various cafés with my loved ones.—MC Calda Javelona
At this point in life, I don’t really put much effort into exploring new clothes on. I don’t know but dressing up is not something I take too seriously since I’m all after comfort. Just look at my beach attire here! I paired my pink top with a lousy shorts and bright hat which says a lot about my dressing sense—basic, weird, comfortable, unpredictable, at ease. I’m all after how I feel about the things that I wear. I make sure it gives me confidence, not torture. My #StyleWeekend just revolves around work, house chores, and me time. But oftentimes, it’s purely “me time.” It could be meeting with friends, running 5km, getting a complete eight or more hours of sleep, reading a few book pages, binge-eating, derma sesh, or a long drive with my fiancé. Whatever it look like, weekend break is always part of my schedule. They’re my non-negotiables.—Gichelle Adarayan
