Slaycation-ready: Fit Formula for your hottest summer yet

Pauline Joyce Pascual

No matter how hot the Philippines is right now, you, too, must be hot — in fashion. Hot girl summer? More like the main character summer, and we’re serving looks with a dream trio: LOEWE, Jimmy Choo and KENZO. 

Whether you’re brunching, beach-hopping, or just making the city your runway, this mix-and-match vibe is effortless but expensive. 

Kicks that eat 

Sneakers, but make them stylish. LOEWE has just upgraded their Ballet Runner, combining ballet-core with a throwback ‘70s running shoe. The asymmetric toe? Chef’s kiss. The buttery-soft leather lining? Comfort city. The sleek Sacchetto construction? Feels like walking on clouds. Whether you’re running errands or pulling a Bella Hadid airport moment, these kicks go with everything.

Big glam energy

If Y2K had a rich older sister, she’d be dressed in Jimmy Choo’s Spring 2025 collection. Sculptural bows? Check. Oversized paillettes? Living. The BON BON bag? An it-girl staple. Sandra Choi, Jimmy Choo’s design director, describes their girl as “confident, effortless and fun” — exactly the vibe we’ve been exuding all summer.

Global cool

Capoeira dancers, Ipanema sunsets and a whole lot of freedom — KENZO’s latest drop is basically a passport in fashion form. The Chiku-Rin Camo print fashions camo with a bamboo design and the Embellished Mesh pieces are drenched in hand-embroidered beads. And don’t even get us started on the Furoshiki bag — gathered, knotted and made of fine Italian leather, it offers sculptural minimalism with a twist.

This trio provides fashion without fuss, luxury without discomfort, and trend-forward without trying too hard. Whether you’re jogging around the city, going to the beach, or enjoying golden hour with your friends, this summer ‘fit check’ is the time. So, are you copping or dropping?
