MANILA, Philippines - The holidays may have come and gone, but the excuse to party is by no means absent — or the desire to dress up, for that matter. Rather than glitzy cocktail frocks and shiny coats, however, fashion, post-New Year, has returned to the comfortable and quintessential.

This season, Sisley provides pieces that attest to a genuine confection of comfort and sleek style. With fluid fits that placidly maneuver along with the movements of the body, and materials that epitomize ease, it is difficult not to get into a new spirit of dressing up.

Moving away from the color overload of holiday celebrations, bold variations in blacks, whites and grays on soft, fluffy fabric such as tweed, carded wool, gabardine, waterproof nylon, and technical comfort-feel cotton, dominate and announce the return of smart retro-classic outfits. And with the assistance of accessories in various texture and materials, dressing up in Sisley will ensure that the holidays may have come and gone, but the allure of style is not passé.
