Exceptional Summer

WORDS BY MARI SANTOS

Everyone wishes to make summer something we will always remember by making memories we can always look back to with no regrets. Whenever we think about this season, it makes us excited for what's to come. We can't wait for it and we always wish that it would come sooner every year.

This year calls for an exceptional summer by revamping your style. This summer is the perfect time to try out something new. So step out of your comfort zone and practice extraordinary dressing whether you're going on a vacation or doing mundane routines, you can never be too overdressed for this stylish season.

Whether you're gardening or going straight to a meeting, you can never go wrong with this timeless buttondown shirt. Be one with your plants as you go for earth tones that work well with any skin tone. Bermuda shorts paired with socks and sandals make it a cozy affair that doesn't feel like a chore.
