Feeling Too Cold Lately? Here Are 10 Local Brands That Will Keep You Cozy

We'd rather be dry but at least we're alive. *wink*

That’s not just your heart or discontent, it really is that cold lately. Cozy up because reports say this is going to last well up to February.

When PAGASA announced a few days ago that the temperature may drop until 18 degrees Celsius in Manila, netizens quickly tweeted “LF: cuddle buddy” or like “it’s that time of the month ?,” but to some of us who remain single, we can only relate to that infamous “bigyan ng jacket” meme. But we’re not really complaining because obviously we don’t have a choice.

Speaking of outerwear, we Filipinos don’t actually know how to dress up for our awkwardly transitional weather here since there aren’t much choices aside from summer and/or summer with rain. No snowflakes aside, we picked 10 local brands that aren’t bothered by the cold days at all. Ranging from bomber jackets, knit cardigans, to sweaters and hoodies, they have you covered for this big chill.
