For my look, I built it around the mini skirt, which exudes "Better Things" by Aespa! My personal style is based on what I feel looks best on me at the moment. I make sure that I enjoy what I wear and that my clothes are long-lasting. My #StyleWeekend typically starts with either film shoots (because I’m a film student) or resting at home after a tiring week. I try my best to catch up with friends over the weekend by going to new restaurants we haven’t tried yet. And if we have the budget, we visit weekend markets with lots of local products! When I go to film shoots, I choose comfort over fashion, but I still try to look stylish when I can.—Kyle

I always go for a combination of comfort and style. Lately, I’ve been loving kitten heels to help elevate any look. My #StyleWeekend is all about giving myself a well-deserved break, spending time with family and friends, and treating myself! Going to pop-ups has also been a fun activity lately.—Thea

My top is from Nin and Yang, a brand I co-own with my sister. It’s made out of denim retaso (scraps). We’re all about upcycling waste into sophisticated and timeless designs. Personally, I always go for comfortable pieces that are simple yet striking. My #StyleWeekend is all about quality time with loved ones, exploring pop-ups, and indulging in self-care.—Nina

My personal style leans more toward preppy fashion. It’s within my comfort zone but still stylish and classic. I like incorporating black and other neutral colors into my outfits because they flatter my features. My #StyleWeekend involves a lot of sewing. I’m a fashion student, so during my free time, I either rest at home or hang out with friends.—Clarisse

My personal style is a blend of classic and casual. I gravitate towards timeless pieces like polo shirts and casual jackets. I value practicality, comfort, and ease in my wardrobe. My #StyleWeekend starts with hitting the gym. In my line of work, it’s important to stay healthy. After that, I schedule my content for the week and usually wrap things up with dinner with friends or family.—Ran
