Just reading the title, perhaps many of you would already cringe to the thought of it 'cause seriously, who would wear a coat in the Philippine heat?
But, why not? Can't you really?
If you're a fan of four seasons and residing in a tropical country like me, most probably you'd be dying to wear coats, too. Aside from being a staple in the winter closet, coats are fashion statements. So, wearing this in the Philippine weather may not be too forgiving, right? But that doesn't mean it's a no-go. You just have to know the right pieces to pair with your coat.
What I did here is I paired my pastel blue coat with a white tank top and powder blue trousers. You see the combination? Everything is in light colors.
Quick guide to pull off a coat outfit in the Philippines:
- Choose a light fabric coat
- Wear a sleeveless, tank top or any thin tops that you could wear underneath
- Pair it with a skirt or in this case, a light-colored trousers
- Choose the colors wisely. The lighter your clothes are, the more you'll feel at ease

There's always excitement when it comes to dressing up for your trip but before you hit your destination, the first place you're headed to is the airport.
While there's nothing wrong with dressing to the nines, it's important to keep in mind that comfort is key. Of course, you don't want to hassle yourself when taking off all your dangling accessories to pass the airport security, right?
If your clothes prevent you from getting past security swiftly, booking in at your gate, and sitting comfortably for your three- or 16-hour flight, you've got to rethink. Obviously, if you have the benefit of fractional jet ownership, this won't be a problem for you. However, if you are traveling economy you will want to avoid delaying yourself (and others), so need to wear the comfiest yet stylish pieces.
Here, I wore an oversized top that I got from Korea and paired it with an A-line denim skirt. As for my shoes, I wore a pair of white rubber shoes so I can run whenever I need to. Kidding aside, this is so I could endure the long walks and hours of standing in line.

Take a look out the window and one thing is for certain—the dreaded rainy season is here in Manila (Uh-oh). However, as the rain greets us with a gloomy downpour, fashion never stops for true fashion girls. Looking stylish and sleek while keeping your outfit weather-ready is a discipline that can be learned and perfected over time. Some may wonder how looking waterproof can ever achieve très chic with bulky layers, well you’re in luck as we have 5 have surefire ways to cure rainy season blues through style and fashion.
1. Choose a flattering rain jacket
The classic waterproof outerwear has always had a negative reputation for being unflattering when it comes to almost any outfit. There’s a science to choosing the right cut and fit with rain jackets. Choose an inner top with the same color as your rain jacket—this will mold both pieces together and make the synergy look easy and seamless. BNY Jeans published an article on some jackets perfect for the rainy season, these include bomber jackets, hoodies, and denim jackets for both men and women.
2. Invest in edgy combat boots
Take on rain-soaked streets with no fear by choosing the right pair of rain boots. Toughen-up the look with a pair of ankle or knee-length rain boots in neutral colors. When going for an easy and casual #OOTD, More writer Katelyn Cheek suggests a striped top and khaki-colored mini skirt mix perfectly with plain black boots and a cognac bag. Wear your hair down and be ready to jump into puddles in all your fashion-forward glory.
3. Top your look with a bucket hat
Teen Vogue shares that you can never go wrong with a classic black bucket hat especially during the rainy season. A bucket hat can give your overall #OOTD a more youthful look and gives a quirkiness to gloomy rainy day blues. Pair this accessory with an oversized sweater, a denim mini, and black combat boots.
4. Slip on interesting socks with your boots
An added layer of socks can warm your toes nicely for those cold rainy nights. However, be careful with choosing socks that might make your legs look stumpy and stiff. Babble shares that you should opt for more neutral colors like black, navy, olive green, or gray, and only let a few inches of them show from your boots.
5. Pick slim-fit pants with your bulky outerwear
Manila’s climate has always been erratic in nature. During those humid days with a bit of rain, wear skinny jeans to keep your legs dry without suffocating them with thick fabric. Should you get caught in the rain with skinnies on, worry no more as these pants are usually made with flimsy material allowing quick drying while looking fabulous.
When it’s raining cats and dogs, don’t be discouraged to dress up with the fear of getting soaked. Waterproof your outfit with chic finds and pieces that will warm you for the days to come. Fashion dilemmas are not uncommon and happen to just about everybody. To find easy solutions, check out our post on fashion dilemmas here on Cielo Fernando.

Thailand is one of the places that are exciting yet hard to dress up for. One, the weather in Thailand is so hot so I can wear mostly what I do in Manila since they have a similar weather which makes it easy but hard at the same time because as you know, Thailand has a lot of temples and most of the tours include them.
Because temples are sacred places, you have to dress accordingly. But there are some that aren't requiring dress codes especially the one in the photos below.
