City Attitude

Style in cosmopolitan Manila is once again all set for the season of festivities.

The fast-approaching,  month-long celebration of  the holidays is fashioning a refreshing wardrobe. Cityscape dressing is shifting with a renewed attitude as it welcomes the weeks to come with an informal style-setting altitude.

This season, Cortefiel’s holiday collection presents a new style sensation. Nature inspires the Cortefiel woman with a wide range of chic autumn hues that paint her wardrobe with highlights of yellows and blues. Soft tailoring in current silhouettes displays an elegant yet relaxed approach to modern corporate dressing. On-the-radar prints practically unfold as accent pieces from day to night and work to play.

Cortefiel’s womenswear unveils the brand’s latest offerings in a cool contemporary retrospective look. It showcases both the ‘70s and sporty appeal in style forward and easy ready-to-wear.

On the other hand, the Cortefiel man is inspired by cosmopolitan cities in the world like London, New York and Tokyo that reflect contemporary style, with a relaxed and informal attitude. The brand’s latest menswear collection presents a variety of city-inspired looks for the modern man. London reflects trendy with a palette of blues, indigos and navies, mixed with grays and khakis in traditional cuts with chinos and ultra-light jackets.

Tokyo is modern urban based on cool marine colors with camel, as well as the green forest blazers, shirts and bombers with chinos.

New York channels Broadway to Wall Street in stylish grays combined with a pop of camel and oranges. Wool and nylon vests are casually combined with pants and light-fabric shirts for that relaxed look. Layering is made easy through modern tailoring. The brand’s menswear collection boasts of high-quality garments in new designs and micro-textures. It presents an updated look that reflects the standard of elegance combined with comfort and sportsmanship.

Cortefiel sums up this season of city-style in easy and relaxed dressing with a hint of trend. The current feel is nothing too fancy and flashy or plain and boring. It’s a cosmopolitan attitude that’s stylish and practical to fashion in the now.

(In the Philippines, Cortefiel stores are located at Central Square Mall in BGC and Estancia, Capital Commons.)
