Conversation pieces: A fresh cut for Christmas

MANILA, Philippines - Breathe in the holiday cool with Oxygen’s Christmas collection, which doesn’t go all cheesy with the usual yuletide colors. This season is all about subtlety for Oxygen: sartorial festivity replaced by the flourish of asymmetrical cuts and monochrome. This year, Oxygen eschews the ornamental for the organic, inclined as its new collection is to neutral tone— blues, whites, grays, and browns. And of course, there’s the breathing part, rational as the brand is with its light layers: snug fits that drape at the right places. What we have here is a collection that doesn’t holler holiday but allows you to settle in quite the stylish holidaze.
