The Philippine Star

Travel in Style

- LUIS ESPIRITU, JR.

Fashion trends are summer-ready to unfold. To beat the scorching heat, these chic wardrobe pieces are musthaves for any destinatio­n.

In the Philippine­s, leading the style pack is Rustan’s with its new arrivals. The women’s selection offers a wide range of trendy essentials to welcome summer. This season, fashion

is screaming “prints, please” with a showcase of stripes, florals and crafty detailing. High on the style meter are fashion ideas for any occasion from Bardot, Finders Keepers and Nicole Miller. Beat the heat with swimsuits that make your sun shine. From sorbet to nautical shades, make that splash by the beach or in the pool in the coolest swimwear by Seafolly.

Summer is cool with chic ensembles that are definitely day-to-night showstoppe­rs. Fashion your ultra-style statement in Adrianna Papell, Aidan Mattox, Bari Jay, Josie Natori, Keepsake and Tadashi.

A look will never be complete without accessorie­s. Finding the perfect tint to keep your eyes in style, sunglasses by Fin are definitely the current style setters. Shoes and bags from the likes of Arezzo, Aquazzura, Chiara Ferragni, Danse Lente and Sergio Rossi will definitely keep you on the radar.

At the men’s section, the philosophy of cool is all about the perfect balance between form and function. Whether sporting fashionabl­e stripes, modern knitwear, summer jackets or a monotone look, the key is style+practicali­ty. The country club look, sporty or

casual, is cool this season with pieces from Adidas, Dorfman Pacific, Adolfo Dominguez, Ricardo Preto, Knowledge Cotton Apparel, Façonnable, Hackett, New Balance and Pedro del Hierro.

This summer, Rustan’s presents the 2019 Summer Travel Fair in partnershi­p with HSBC.
