Metallics

From Ralph Lauren’s liquid gold gowns to Nina Ricci’s metallic suit sets reminiscent of ’70s disco, the renewed interest in glitter is guaranteed to make any wearer the life of the party.
It might be a tad difficult to achieve in the Philippines without baking in the heat but you can opt for pieces that forego sleeves or feature cutouts, such as this golden Ludovic de Saint Sernin number. To ensure it stays the statement piece of the look, pair the outfit with understated jewelry and footwear.
Country club chic

A fusion of athleisure and prep school chic, the country club style is a revived trend that prioritizes both comfort and style, making it perfect for the Philippines’ unrelenting summer heat.
To hop on this trend and stay fresh in this weather, invest in a timeless collared polo shirt and tennis shoes.
But to elevate these country club staples, wear them with a light blazer and track-style bottoms reminiscent of these coordinates from Brunello Cucinelli for an effortlessly chic look.
Soft whites

Take a momentary shift from the typical, bright sundresses of the tropical season and go for one in a palate-cleansing white, such as those from the collections of Stella McCartney and Michael Kors.
The recent popularity of sheer white dresses—like this piece from Alberta Ferretti— is naturally ideal for Philippine summers, as the lightness of linens and satins keeps the wearer cool and comfortable.

Modern flappers

Taking inspiration from the sleek silhouettes of the Jazz Age, the modern flapper—as coined by Vogue—features effortless shift dresses, crystal embellishments, and delicate fringing.
The aesthetic’s ability to fuse simplicity with glamour makes it an excellent choice for outdoor occasions, as it ensures you’ll stand out without looking or feeling stuffy. Cop the modern flapper look by layering a sheer shift dress with a silk top and bottom for an airy look that calls back to this cobalt blue piece from Giorgio Armani.
‘90s minimalism

Whether it’s called the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or the office siren aesthetic, the understated yet chic silhouette of the returning ’90s minimalism trend is perfect for looks that can easily shift from day to night.
Arguably the easiest style to pull off, the trend staples can be found in virtually any wardrobe. These include silk or satin pencil skirts, crisp cotton button-downs, and tailored monochrome blazers—much like the pieces in these Givenchy coordinates.
Craft patterns

Designers have been pushing the boundaries of garment construction throughout the spring/summer 2024 season, such as Diesel’s Glenn Martens, who used deadstock denim and jersey fabric to create dresses with eclectic patterns.
To recreate this stand-out piece from the Diesel collection, look out for bodycon dresses that prominently feature bold, eye-catching colors and keep it breathable by opting for fabrics such as silk or mesh.
Rose prints

While floral patterns remain the undisputed staple of spring/summer collections, none have been quite as prominent as the rose. Whether it’s in the pale pink of Simone Rocha’s tulle dresses or in the blood red of Alexander McQueen’s ruffled gowns, the rose is the reigning floral of the season.
