From Spain with love

MANILA, Philippines - As the season hits the turnover, a prickly fall/winter to some parts of the world — a rainy brrr to our -ber months — we welcome all the layers we could possibly pile on (which is: not a lot). The would-be ideal scenarios are steady windbreakers over a sensible dress shirt, maybe a cashmere scarf if you’re feeling generous — but stick to the tropical rule of thumb: only put on what you can conveniently take off once the weather lets up (and it will). But if the thirst is real and you’ve a pressing desire to sync with the rest of the world, Faux Layering 101: a skirt worn over skinny trousers, a peasant top over a cotton shirt should do the trick.

And if you’re particularly sick of the same high street store to get your layer on, may this weekly fashion digest suggest: Sfera. The Spanish brand, the first in the Philippines and in Asia, just opened this week at SM Makati. You know what to do.
