Picture this: You’re standing in front of your closet, frantically searching for something to wear that isn’t your go-to graphic tee or those trousers you’ve worn one too many times this week. It’s the peak of August, and the weather isn’t making it any easier to get dressed without breaking a sweat. We’ve all been there—sweating over our wardrobes, trying to balance comfort, style, and this month’s sulky weather.
But worry not, because we’ve done the heavy lifting for you. We’ve sifted through endless racks to bring you a selection of wardrobe essentials that you can rely on, no matter what life throws your way. These are the pieces that will keep you stylishly comfy, no matter the occasion or curveball.
adidas Gazelle Bold – Jhez Roxas, Art Intern
adidas Gazelle Bold has quickly become my new favorite pair of sneakers. Ever since I got them, they’ve been my go-to choice for any outfit. I absolutely love their platform design; being on the shorter side, I’m always looking for footwear that adds a little extra height, and Gazelle Bold is perfect for that. Whether I’m dressing up or keeping it casual, these sneakers have become an essential part of my wardrobe.
adidas Handball Spezial Shoes – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
Recently, I’ve loved incorporating colors into my outfits, and very recently, I’ve been into pink-colored clothing items (specifically light, cool pink ones). The adidas Spezial hits my criteria: comfort, aesthetics, and plus points for being pink. To spice things up even more, I added pink and silver charms to the laces to add personality.
Design Almighty x Nami Trinkets Star Bloom Tea Collection – Maggie Batacan, Editor-in-Chief
The moment I laid eyes on these tea-themed pieces, I knew I had to get some. As a tea girlie, these necklaces speak to my soul. They’re so dainty and girly and pretty and demure and mindful (LOL). They just make me really happy to wear and look at, and I find myself reaching for these pieces anytime I feel like I can get away with them. Even the simplest outfits can be elevated with these, they’re literally so gorgeous.
Hellolulu Emma Mini Everyday Totepack – Precy Tan, Copywriter
As the designated mom-friend of my group, I’ve always been on the hunt for spacious bags that can handle all the essentials without sacrificing comfort. My latest obsession? The Hellolulu Emma Mini Everyday Totepack. This bag has quickly become my go-to for daily use. It’s roomy enough to hold everything I need, from snacks to chargers and everything in between, without the bulkiness that often comes with larger bags.
What really sets this totepack apart is the comfort it provides. Unlike other backpacks that end up digging into my shoulders, the Emma Mini is a breeze to carry around all day long. Plus, it’s super stylish and adds a nice touch to any outfit. And despite using the shade Linen, I’ve found it incredibly easy to clean, which is a major bonus.
Memo Denim Jacket For Women – Nica Glorioso, Features Writer
This denim jacket from MEMO is a new staple I added to my closet. It’s affordable, comfortable, and classic, with a structure and cut makes it so flattering.
Shop Solasta Jewelry – Bianca Lao, Brand Associate
I was exposed to Shop Solasta earlier this year at an event I attended, and upon receiving a charm bracelet from them, I instantly fell in love with the brand and immediately visited their site. Solasta Jewelry offers a wide range of charms and products that can fit literally any personality. It’s become a staple piece in my outfits, and I often find myself browsing their page and discovering new charms to purchase or add to my collection. Highly recommend their Italian Charms!
The Midi Arc Bag from The Paper Bunny – Jasmin Dasigan, Production Associate
I have to admit, I got budol-ed by a workmate who was using this bag, and I couldn’t resist getting one for myself. The Midi Arc Bag from The Paper Bunny may look compact, but don’t let its size fool you! What I love most about this bag is how surprisingly spacious it is. It comfortably fits my laptop, makeup bag, and other daily essentials without a struggle. Plus, it’s super stylish, which is a huge plus compared to other office bags I’ve tried that are just way too bulky and cumbersome.
Uniqlo Pajama Set – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
I don’t know why it took me so long to cop a Uniqlo pajama set, but I’m happy I finally did. It’s very comfortable, size-inclusive, and I can rewear them multiple times a week
