SOPHIA SANCHEZ

“I’ve always loved dressing up ever since, and especially when I go to places that I’ve never been to before. I love wearing vibrant colors; playful and feminine outfits. Now, I’m in Italy where most of the people here wear black or neutrals. I decided to somehow wear black without losing my identity. Instead of wearing black tights and boots (which is how most of the people do it here) with my black and white coat, I decided to pair them with skin tone tights and boots. This way, I still look somewhat playful and vibrant.”

Check out Sophia’s style tips:

1. Since I’m in Europe, and it’s way colder here compared to the Philippines, invest in HEATTECH clothing. It makes a huge difference when you wear them underneath.

2. For coats, buy something that you can pair with a variety of ensembles. I suggest you start with neutrals if you’re planning to only have one or a just few. This way, you can pair it off with any outfit.

3. Get a white, crisp, long sleeve shirt. This can go a long way whether it’s winter or summer season. You can wear it underneath a sweater when it’s cold or pair it with trousers or a skirt during warmer days.

4. As always, have a little black dress. You can wear this to any event or season without being too overdressed or underdressed.

5. Never underestimate a pair of well-fitted jeans. You can also wear this in any season.
