MANILA, Philippines - The current wet (but most of the time warm) season invites us to edit our closets. We’re reassessing what’s tried-and-true with a distinctly fresh perspective. Harlan+Holden’s sophisticated modern minimalist pieces are the perfect update for your look, with sleek and dainty interpretations of your favorite wardrobe staples.
The timeless white shirt
The always-relevant white shirt gets a refresh as menswear reimagined in loose proportions. A nod to oversize without actually doing oversize. Unbutton everything except the last two on top for a good-girl-gone-glam feel.
The pleats
Look crisply modern and graceful in this season’s unexpected star. Sashay from left to right with flowing statement fabrics like gauzy muslin and chiffon in light colors or shades of white.
The utilitarian
The classic military look gets a feminine makeover in satin and stretched cotton. Must be beautifully cut to look slim — but not too slim — with intelligent form and ladylike proportions. Add a pair of thin bangles for that city chic effect.
