My personal style embodies chic and classy, grounded in simplicity. I gravitate toward neutral colors, blending into any setting while maintaining a refined look. I like feeling comfortable in my OOTDs, so I usually pair everything with white sneakers! My #StyleWeekend revolves around hosting and performing at events like children’s parties, weddings, debuts, and teambuilding activities. During the weekdays, I embrace my role as “Teacher Salve,” working as a music and movement teacher for toddlers and tutoring private students. I currently live independently, so I maximize my free days by enjoying time with family, friends, and even myself.—Salve Fabie
As a mom, my personal style has definitely shifted to prioritize comfort and functionality so I can keep up with my kids (spot the fanny pack!). But I still like to have fun by choosing timeless basics that I can mix and match over and over again. My #StyleWeekend involves hanging out with my family, which means balancing a lot of opinions from my daughters about what to wear so we can match.—Kim Tomacruz Graham
As a writer who only drifts into the office once or twice a week, I find myself crafting an outfit that’s a little dance between warmth and breeze. It’s about layering just right—something that holds up against the office chill but is easy to strip down when I step back into the outside heat.—Jonel Revistual
Being 6’2” and a big guy, my top priorities are comfort and style. My style is all about wearing clothes that are easy to move in but still look good, often layering pieces and adding some patterns. Whether I’m in Asia or Europe, I go for a casual look that’s still neat, focusing on jackets and simple, clean outfits. My style is about feeling comfortable and confident, no matter where I am. My #StyleWeekend starts with balancing work and fun. During the week, I’m busy with meetings, events, and work tasks. When the weekend comes, I relax by exploring new places, hanging out with friends, or just taking it easy. My clothes match this mix, giving me options that work well for both weekdays and weekends.—John Paulo Ondra Caparros
