Remember when Kyline Alcantara first opened up about how she was just starting to invest in designer items thanks to her ate Heart Evangelista's advice? While the 2022 Best Dressed honoree still prioritizes adding functional neutral pieces to her wardrobe, she has since widened her collection to embrace pops of colors and to splurge on stylish yet versatile accessories.
"Kasi kahit simple lang 'yung damit pero kung bongga or may character 'yung accessories mo, mas nagiging iba yung style or yung outfit or yung look mo," she explains in the latest episode of Designer Favorites. This was a realization she had when her equally fashionable posse—including Mavy Legaspi, Bianca Umali, and Ruru Madrid—encouraged her to splurge on the celebrity-approved Symbole sunglasses. Countless OOTDs and a smashing review after, you can say that she has no regrets! Press play to find out what other sartorial investments she has recently copped!
