The UNIQLO 3D Knit Cotton Long Sleeve Crew Neck Sweater
via Uniqlo.com
“This sweater easily became a favorite after I impulsively bought it. It’s 3D knit, meaning it’s seamless and produces little to no waste, and is made with just one thread, making it fit and drape in a flattering way. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and a great basic to have.” – Nica Glorioso, Features Writer
Team Philippines Olympic Merch
“It’s Olympics season once again and even if I’m not a sports guy, I’ve been showing my support to our Olympic athletes by copping the fan merch from adidas. The best part is that proceeds of the collection go to supporting Filipino athletes around the country.” – Rafael Bautista, Managing Editor
Linennaive Hooded Cape

“My best friend gifted me the most amazing cape for my birthday and I have never felt more seen and understood. If a hoodie and a blanket had a baby, and that baby grew up to be an edgy, angsty teen, that’s what a hooded cape is. As a proud introvert, it’s fun to wear around, keeps me warm, and helps me express my true identity as a gremlin. It makes for a bold fashion statement – so much so that what you wear under it is almost irrelevant. So it’s a perfect styling piece and I think everyone should have one. After all, Spoopy Season is only 2 months away!” – Maggie Batacan, EIC
Puma Speedboat OG Sneakers

Tropik Beatnik Bougainvillea Ring

“These bougainvillea handmade rings immediately caught my eye. I’ve been a fan of the brand’s colorful earrings and accessories for years. They are the perfect antidote to the overcast weather we’ve been having lately. These rings radiate sunshine and happiness. Plus, they check all the boxes I want in accessories: bold, colorful, handmade, artisanal, and intricately detailed.” – Andre Chang, Fashion and Creative Director
Jane Birkin-fying Your Bag
“The act of putting keychain, keyrings, accessories to your bag and making it maximalist is something I enjoy doing. It adds personality to your outfit and to the bag itself. If you are a fan of collecting anik-anik, then Jane Birkin-fying your bag is a perfect accessory to your bag and your outfit.” – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
