Julia takes on the different parts of the Philippines and Asia in these key staples for travel and everyday wear
Sorting your wardrobe out for an upcoming trip can be a tedious process when you have yet to fill your closet with pieces you can easily work with. Take your purchasing power to the next level by becoming more assertive with your clothing choices just like Julia Barretto. Pro-tip: Ask yourself if whatever you’re eyeing is not just good for a season, but also for a long time.
With that said, here are the pieces that you must have in your selection for a style that fits any place in the country and in the world:
Ankle boots
Besides sneakers, having this type of footwear can instantly make an outfit dressier with an edgy touch to it. Not to mention the extra protection that harder leather kinds could provide for your feet. Day or night, rain or shine—you will be unstoppable like Julia with some pair of ankle boots.
White shirt
It has not been called a basic tee for so long for no reason, right? The white shirt is a testament that being described basic can mean an uncomplicated relationship with what you’re choosing to wear. It may be simple and white, but its role can go from a bikini coverup to a hot day top option. You can even spice it up with some accessories and outerwear for one occasion to the next.
Sandals
Julia took a break from her usual closed footwear agenda with some white sandals for her trip to Singapore. Walking and exploring the streets of your chosen destination can be overwhelming, so make sure you have a breathable pair with you. If you want a casual but more put-together look to explore the city, the sandals plus a maxi dress will do the trick.
Puff sleeve
Perhaps this type of sleeve serves as the extra oomph that you’re looking for in a blouse. If you are steering clear of your shirt phase, puffed-sleeve tops have a way of making us feel both youthful and more mature. Either way, it’s a reflection of your growth!
Knitted vest
This piece does not just give an extra layer of warmth when the cold strikes. You can actually wear it as a sleeveless top on its own for a hot day out just like Julia in Vietnam.
At the end of the day, investing in versatile clothing is a more sustainable way to approach the inevitable road of fast fashion. By repeating and reworking items like the vest, you at least choose to add more value and purpose to your existing pieces.
