Lovi Poe collaborates with jewelry brand; walk in stylish comfort in these summer-ready outfits
MANILA, Philippines — With humid weather, it is undeniably hard to go around town in fashionable clothes. This reality is quite relatable for content creators, mom Andrea Taylor and yoga teacher Mia Adarna.
Andrea is a mom of little kids, two boys and one girl. For her, comfort is important whenever she dresses them up every day.
"Kids love to run around. They're so kiat. Kiat kaayo," said Andrea, referring to her energetic sons.
The mom of three along with Mia were in the panel for the Style Talks last March held at SM Premiere in Davao. They were talking about their summer picks and must-haves that feature some of the summer collection of the popular Japanese clothing and retail company Uniqlo.
Mia, meanwhile, is fond of exercising and doing yoga. For her activities, she needs clothing that enables her to be flexible enough but also keep her cool.
"I love wearing Uniqlo when doing yoga especially because it's light on the skin and has cooling effect," she said.
The two women took part in the two-day activities in Davao where they wore some of the brand's summer collection.
Mia wore the linen blend skort with the purple linen blend open collar while being taught by an elder of the Mandaya tribe on how to make the colorful bead jewelry.
Andrea, meanwhile, gushed over the sleeveless white top that she paired with a purple, breathable linen blend pants.
"The sleevelss top with built-in bra is life-changing. No more days to see straps on the bra. That pants, everybody was raving about it. It looked fresh and comfy. It's linen. It's a new type of linen that is much breathable. Most linen, di ba, when we sit down, it gets wrinkled naturally? But with their technology, they were able to come up with something... na hindi ka hahabulin ng plantsa. In other words. I was running around and ganon pa rin. Presko pa rin masyado ang aking outfit," Andrea said.
The mommy blogger also recommends the brand's Dry Ex crewneck shirt because her athletic boys can wear it without their backs being sweaty and wet. Its technology enables the shirt to dry as quickly as possible. For her only daughter, she is quite happy with the linen blend jumpsuit with the adjustable straps and easy shorts.
"Serena is only two years old. She chooses her outfits. She has tantrums if she doesn't like her clothes. It's not about color, design. She likes things that are comfy," she revealed, adding that the jumpsuit with its adjustable strap can last for years and Serena can wear it even when she's a little bit older.
All of her children are also fond of the easy shorts because they are easy to wear, soft and airy.
The two ladies agree that the brand's long-sleeved shirt is a steal because it can be worn different ways. Mia said that her boyfriend can wear it for a casual day out or a formal event, while Andrea quipped that women can also wear the shirt for that boyfriend look outfit of the day.
"I know coming into the pandemic, we're all into our loungewears, and now I think, it's one of the first summers again that we're going out, going on local tours, actually even international tours. Definitely, Uniqlo has created pieces that will make you ready for these trips moving forward. (Uniqlo's) Lifewear is designed for everyone, everywhere. It's made for everyday. It's simple, practical and perfectly essential for our lives today," said Reichelle Nicole Vergara, Senior Manager for Marketing Communications at Uniqlo.
