Smart Casual Men

Dear Sosyalera,

Hi, first of all. I’m a fan. hehe

I would like to ask for a trend tip from you for this holiday season since we don’t have winter here in Phil. What style do Filipinos have this season?

Also, I recently read about you email sender about smart casual clothing tips. coincidentally I was wondering of the same thing so i allegedly read it, but no tips were found for men. that’s why I wrote.

I work for a business outsourcing company as a lead generation specialist. I lead a small group of 6 people but we’re just of the same age (some are even older than me). our dress code is smart casual, but i don’t want to look too simple and too corporate with my appearance. I usually gear up a shirt and a blazer/jacket or sometimes printed long sleeves on jeans these past few days. my personal style is on the rugged-vintage-punk-edgy side and I love to experiment with clothing styles and accessories(recently i bought a plum and cream stripes scarf).

I’m a 21yo guy, 5′8 and slim med. built body. I’d like to know more from your point of view.

Thanks and more power!!!

Dear adrian,

We all know that a couple of typhoons destructed our country so apparently, Christmas season for this year started quite late. People are still in the recovering process and most of us are trying to lessen our expenses but without neglecting the spirit of the season. Relating to fashion, people now settle for simple but elegant styles to avoid over spending. Nearly everyone’s trying to be practical and creative in re-using some old clothes. No worries because even on the latest runway reports, neutrals and simple pieces are worn together to form a fashion.
