I love layering lingerie or textured tops over simpler tops. I feel it adds more depth and makes any casual ’fit more interesting! My #StyleWeekend involves looking through my closet to find combinations that work for heading out. I enjoy attending community-oriented art events for the chance to make friends and to find art and fashion inspo!—Wyn
My look isn’t complete unless I shine—whether it’s with jewels, pearls, sequins, rhinestones, or anything that sparkles! Accessories are my best friends, and each one has its own story. Without them, I feel incomplete. With the right styling, accessories can instantly elevate any outfit. I’m not afraid to experiment with bold colors, patterns, and shimmer. In fact, they bring out the best in me and my outfits. My #StyleWeekend involves thrifting, shopping, and everything fashion! On weekend mornings, you’ll find me at the local surplus or ukay-ukay stores, hunting for hidden gems to add to my collection. I also love going out on the weekends, which means rocking a fresh new outfit every time.—AA Besa
My look that night was mostly inspired by the event itself—especially the art! Scarves are a staple in my personal style, so I added one to my outfit to keep things true to me. My #StyleWeekend starts with having classes on Saturdays, but afterward, when my friends and I are free, we usually hang out, grab dinner, or explore markets on Sundays.—Keanu
I recently got my hair cut and styled by a friend, and I absolutely love it. It has a subtle edge, so I softened the look with a pink puffy dress and a silver puffy bag—imagine an edgy Jigglypuff! Dressing up has always been my favorite form of self-expression. I love playing with different textures, colors, shapes, and volumes. My taste in fashion has been heavily influenced by pop culture and the media I consume. Experimenting with pieces that suit my body shape and building outfits from there has boosted my confidence. Years of thrifting have also allowed me to explore and try different styles. If there are no interesting events to attend, #MyStyleWeekend usually involves dating myself. I like walking around my city with my headphones on, trying out new food and pastries, and window shopping.—Czae Arbis
I’m still experimenting with my style, but I’ve noticed that I always want to add something industrial and peculiar to my outfits. This is why I’ve developed a fascination with brooches, particularly beetle-inspired designs. The silver and gold accents, combined with various gemstones and vibrant colors, create a beautiful shimmer and pop. I love how they all come together on my vest, like armor, while still complementing my casual look. My style leans toward casual and comfortable with a hint of streetwear. I enjoy mixing and matching pieces that make me happy, often experimenting with accessories that might seem unconventional at first. When paired with a casual look, they help me feel comfortable and inspire creativity. My #StyleWeekend involves visiting art markets like Komiket, Patrons of the Arts, and Escolta Hub Make Lab, where I immerse myself in creative spaces filled with amazing energy and wonderful people. On weekends, my parents and I also enjoy thrift shopping, where we often find high-quality hidden gems at unbeatable prices!—Alfonso Burce
