Admittedly, this isn't much of a "summer" look if you're residing here in the Philippines or any tropical country; but I guess I couldn't stay away from layering even though I had to brave the treacherous heat for this one. It's actually quite possible to still layer clothing during the summer here in the tropics; just remember to utilize pieces that are "breezy" and light, and also refrain from wearing dark colors as these absorb more heat in comparison to light colors (yes, you can actually apply Physics in styling yourself in correlation with the climate). On another note, the fundamental pieces of clothing or "basics" (such as the white button-down shirt, jumper, and shorts I'm sporting) can really help you make the most out of your arsenal. Basics are rather recyclable, which in this case means that you can incorporate them into your outfits over and over again. I strongly suggest that everyone should really build up their collection of basics. And what's great is it'll pay-off immensely in the long run.
