ICYDK, PAG-ASA once clarified that the Philippines technically has no summer, just rainy and dry seasons. This is because our temp is quite hot and humid all year round and only our weather really changes. That said, all summer-loving gals are happy that their seasonal wardrobe can be worn any time. But what about girls who can’t really figure out how to dress stylishly for the warm temp?
Layering up for places with AC is normal for any Pinay—we’re all mall rats and cold-climate travel junkies one way or the other—but there’s actually a way to dress for Philippine weather without showing a lot of skin. Although there’s nothing wrong with wearing revealing clothes (you do you!), you don’t always need to look like you’re going to the beach when coming up with a “summer outfit.”
Practically, any piece of clothing can be converted to a summer look—with the exception of those thick coats and knits, of course! So, if you’d like to build a summer-ready wardrobe you can don any time of the year, we’ve rounded up some easy-to-put-together ‘fits you can totally cop. From bikini-clad outfit combos to tailored suits with a sexy twist, we’ve got all the style inspo you need!
