How to do you, Filipino, and fabulous

Here are some inspirations we got from this week’s Puey Quiñones x Rustan’s grand launch

Puey Quiñones has long made a name for himself as one of the fashion industry’s biggest trailblazers in recent history. Starting from the bustling fashion scene of Manila, he has gone on to bring Filipino fashion worldwide through his store Q Bridal in Los Angeles. Now, he returns to Manila for one of his biggest collaborations yet.

Puey Quiñones x Rustan’s grand launch has shown yet again how Quiñones and his team bring Filipino fashion into the forefront through the PQ Luxe collection. Each piece shows a playful harmony of cool hues and ivory white. The silhouettes mirror the modern Filipina’s intricate layers, reflecting her strength and resilience. Through each design, it elevates your everyday Filipiniana outfit to a modern beauty. 

For those opting for a more signature Puey Quiñones style, the Versatile collection redefines fashion versatility. With one dress and wrap, embrace the limitless possibilities of personal expression and take your look to the next level with the unmistakable touch of couture in ready-to-wear.

Meanwhile for men, the Puey Quinones Handpainted Series showcases meticulously handcrafted pieces that are distinctly one-of-a-kind. Its attention to detail makes every panuelo and barong piece stand out from the crowd. A truly sophisticated look for the dapper gentleman.

“Collaborating with Rustan’s has been an exceptional experience,” says Quiñones. “We’ve brought together the best of both worlds, and this collection is a testament to the passion and creativity of our teams.”

Inspired by the Puey Quiñones x Rustan’s collaboration, we’ve gathered a few tips on styling yourself in a way that makes you look you at your best wherever you are. After all, dressing is not just about following fashion trends. It’s about presenting yourself in a manner that makes people see the best of who you are. Dressing should allow you to feel more attuned to your individuality and satisfy your urge to feel unique or to bring out what makes you different from the rest. Dressing should be about doing you. Here are the tips. 

Revamp your wardrobe. 

Sometimes we tend to outgrow the styles we once thought were outstanding. That doesn’t mean it’s time to toss everything out and spend all your savings on finding new outfits. Look inside your closet and start mixing and matching whatever clothes you own to try and see which ones complement each other well. Piece out which ones you’re still comfortable with keeping and set aside those that no longer interest you to hand down to someone else or send off to a charity of choice. This will not only help narrow down the choices to clothes that show off your personality but it will also let you declutter and reorganize your wardrobe.

Choose what style you’re comfortable with. 

At this stage, you must ask yourself what style really screams your personality. It’s important to be genuine when wanting to dress elegantly. One way to help pick out a style is to go online and look up aesthetics that draw your attention. Create a mood board and piece out key aspects that align with who you are. Whether you’re going for a retro look, choosing only outfits passed down over the years, or a classy look, having each fit tailor-made to your preference, what’s important is you choose what you feel is right for you.

Quality over quantity. 

Remember that dressing elegantly doesn’t mean filling your closet with all the latest trends in fashion. Having one quality outfit that you personally picked out will always be better than having a closet full of flashy clothes you barely even wear. After all, elegance is best shown through simplicity. If you’re unsure what stands for a quality outfit though, look no further than those made by Puey Quiñones.
