The hot summer days call for a more relaxed, light and comfortable outfit. In the Philippines, dressing for summer is not a problem since we live in a tropical country where it feels like summer almost every day. Our closets are usually filled with items that are already perfect for summer.

Choosing the right clothing with the right fabric is essential to make you feel comfortable during hot sunny days. Good thing, brands like Giordano has come up with their Summer Classics collection which features clothing that are made of light, breathable and comfortable fabrics. The collection also includes pieces that are timeless and easy to wear since you can pair with just about anything.

It was one hot afternoon and I decided to wear this button down with vertical stripes print which I got from Giordano. I really like this button down because the vertical stripes print makes me look taller and slimmer. The fabric is also made of linen which is very light and breathable, perfect for the hot afternoon. I then wore a pique trouser which I cuffed and a pair mandals to make the look more relaxed and comfortable. To finish the look, I chose a white fedora hat to protect my head from the heat of the sun and a scarf to give the look an accent.

It is really important to invest on right clothing for us to survive the heat of the sun during summer. Some additional tips before I end this post, wear sunblock and stay hydrated.

Giordano Philippines was generous enough to provide us, the members of Cebu Fashion Bloggers, their crew neck and v-neck tees that will be used for the shoot. The challenge is for us to come up with a unique and personal look. Everyone got really excited because this is the first time that Cebu Fashion Bloggers will be doing a photo shoot with our new members.

I seldom wear basic pieces and when I do, I make sure that I wear something that will make it stand out. I picked a blue crew neck tee and layered it with a white button down, a red jersey shorts and white sneakers to match the venue. To make the look standout, I used black handkerchief as a scarf. This idea came from The Return of Superman, a Korean reality series where in one of the celebrity dad always wears it. To complete the look, I also used a small body bag which a friend gifted to me. I really like using this bag because its size is perfect to store my necessities.

I was also happy with my new haircut courtesy of Sports Barbers. I’ve always had my bangs to cover my Vitiligo, a skin condition where in a portion of the skin losses its pigment thus explain the white color. I thought that it’s nothing to be ashamed of and thank you Sports Barbers for coming up with a perfect hair style for me. Since I had this new hair style, I’ve been asked a lot about my white hair, and my answer is, it is natural. Vitiligo also affects hair and turns it into white color.
