Male Fashion Bloggers in the Philippines You Should Follow

5.) Lance de Ocampo

My personal style is very random. I don’t have specific style, like I’m not focusing into basics, dapper look, and other looks. Some people say that my look is very versatile. Because as you can see on my blog my styles are mixed up. But most of the time, my style is more on streetstyle. Not too edgy at the same time not too basic. Because I like layering clothes and mix it with few prints to make the whole look happy and not look boring.

If you were to choose one essential item in your wardrobe to wear everyday, what would it be and why?

That would be my denim jacket. Because I’m really into denim jackets and I find it easy to pair with other outfit and denim jackets are very versatile. You can pull it off in any looks. It may be edgy look, streetstyle, formal, dapper and many more.

4.) Michael Macalos

My personal style is experimental and cutting-edge, with a mixture of effortless vibe to it. I love pushing the boundaries of menswear dressing or should I say, how a guy should dress or style his clothes. I think my blog “Contemporaryboy.com” has given me the opportunity to just experiment and experiment with clothes, to establish that uniqueness and be free with my clothing choices. It’s the most rewarding feeling that any fashion blogger can have.

If you were to choose one essential item in your wardrobe to wear everyday, what would it be and why?

A well-tailored jacket. I can’t live without my jackets, they’re an essential piece to me. More important than a basic white shirt. If you own a tailored jacket, the styling is endless, pair it with a basic shirt, and you’re good to, style it with the most ragged or worn out jeans, you’ll still look cool and okay. Just remember that it should flatters your body type and be very careful in choosing the right colors. 

Fun Facts about Michael

– Michael gives talks to other fellow students. “I don’t have any awards or title yet in the blogging industry unlike other bloggers here, but I have inspired and motivate the youth through my talks/seminars about fashion blogging and making the most out of their life even though they’re still studying.

3.) Robbie Becroft

Simplicity, versatility. I try to stick with simple everyday outfits whether it would be wearing a button up, plain tee, black skinny jeans. I always like to have my days where I’ll throw on something unusual just to change things up and mix-and-match. I find it’s always best to dress for the particular occasion and more so spend money appropriately on the best basics that would last the longest.

If you were to choose one essential item in your wardrobe to wear everyday, what would it be and why?

Most likely just my black leather Zara lace-ups. They’re schoolboy shoes but personally I know why I’ve always felt the need to never forget them. Can be worn just anywhere, anytime and I love a good click of a heel just so it reminds me that I’m in the building haha, hypothetically.

Fun Facts about Robbie:

– Robbie shares some of his personal achievements. “Being able to collab with recognized brands here and abroad have been personal achievements. To be able get mentions by brands such as Cheap Monday, Herschel, H.E. Mango, Unilever have all been pretty cool to me since I know for sure I wouldn’t have an opportunity like this elsewhere around the world so quick.”

FEEL GOOD YO YOURSELF

BY MIKYL QUIZON

Being simple is what makes my style easier to relate to or copy, I like to wear trousers with a shirt. I got this style from David Becham. Wearing this kind of style is effortless, very easy to wear, and very basic. What I like about this outfit is that the simplicity makes it classy. I chose to wear a shirt from DAVID BECHAM x H&M, it’s a plain shirt that has a smooth knitted look texture. Then I wore a Slimfit Dotted trousers from H&M that makes my look more edgy. I like how this look goes together with my brown shoes.

To make your outfit look more classy, I can give you some tips that can help you pick the right items!

1.  Not only because it is expensive it’s classy. Make sure to stick with a top that will emphasize your character.
2. Wear a thin watch. Daniel Wellington is a must.
3. Don’t wear sneakers. choose a dress shoes.
4. Don’t over dress.
5. Simplicity is the key to being classy.

HOW TO DRESS FOR A STREET PARTY

5 THINGS YOU CAN DO IF YOU'RE SINGLE THIS VALENTINE'S

BY: DANIEL WALLEN

1. Laugh it up!

Laughter boosts your mood, reduces stress, and makes you feel better. On Valentine’s day, have your own funny movie marathon, enjoy some stand-up comedy and laugh to your heart’s content! Cuddle up on the couch with your pet(s) and a cozy blanket to laugh it up. Treat yourself to a cheap and healthy snack like natural popcorn or yogurt mixed with berries and dark chocolate.

2. Have a Singles Party!

Get together with some of your single friends and have a get together! If you’d like to turn your private celebration into a fun party, invite some friends over who are also members of Club Single. Ask them to bring a snack (or maybe even a bottle of wine?) and laugh the night away. If you would rather go out on the town, you might be helped by this list of fifty cheap and fun night out ideas.

3. Treat yourself!

I know the idea of taking yourself on a date might sound kind of strange, but this is one of the best ways to learn how to be happy alone. A massage will relieve any tension built up from stress at work or home; a make-over will give you a fresh, exciting look that increases your confidence; going to a restaurant or movie alone will help you become more comfortable by yourself (and you can even choose to go where you want to go without debating the issue with friends or family); and retail therapy is almost always a good idea.

BY: DAVID GUISON

1. Take her to a theme park. Nothing beats acting like kids again with your special someone. Go to Enchanted Kingdom in  Santa Rosa or Sky Ranch in Tagaytay.
2. Surprise her to a spa date. I recommend The Spa in Bonifacio High Street, Le Spa in Sofitel or Qiwellness Living Spa in Tagaytay.
3. A hotel staycation. There are tons of nice hotels in Manila now so you won’t find a hard time looking for one! I highly recommend Sofitel (Roxas Boulevard), Discovery Primea (Makati), Holiday Inn (Makati), B Hotel (Quezon City) or Seda Hotel (Fort Bonifacio).
4. Take her to her favorite restaurant or one to which she has always wanted to go. Buy her flowers.
5. Go food tripping. Head to UP for some isaw, take a walk at the Sunken Garden, drive around Maginhawa or Kapitolyo and try different hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

       HOW TO: DRESS UP A CASUAL OUTFIT

Here’s what I wore during my Meet and Greet at the Pop District Bazaar in Cebu a couple of months ago. I wanted to wear something casual but still stylish enough for an event. If you’re planning to dress up a casual outfit like this one. Consider these few tips: Go for different fabrics. Since you’re already wearing pieces of the same color, go for different fabrics or washes to create depth to your outfit. Accessorize. I have a hat, sunglasses, a watch plus a bag. Imagine what this outfit would look like without these accessories. Makes a lot of difference, right?  - DAVID GUISON

                 

What to Wear on a Dinner Date 

If you’re planning a fancy dinner date at a hotel or a five star restaurant, here’s a classic outfit that will never fail you. Keep in mind that clothes cover 90% of your body. If worn and styled correctly it can help you look better by strengthening your assets and give you more confidence. Now I wouldn’t normally wear a tie to date, but since we were going to a formal dinner date, I opted for one. No need to wear a suit as this is not a business meeting or a professional convention. You wouldn’t want to look too buttoned-up for a time when you’re trying to be natural and charming. How would you dress up for a fancy dinner date? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
