Holiday styling took the spotlight at Penshoppe’s “All Together Now” pop-up at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium, where celebrity ambassadors Isabel Ortega, Cassie Legaspi, Darren Espanto, and James Reid shared how they approach dressing up for the busiest season of the year.
For Isabel, the goal is to look polished without overthinking. Wearing a coordinated holiday set, she said she gravitates toward clothes that feel effortless but still put together.
“For this collection, my favorite are the sets. I like to wear it already as it is kasi you don’t really have to think about it anymore. Talagang great on the go, and at least alam mo na presentable ka, kakaganda ng outfit mo,” Isabel said.
The actress also keeps her wardrobe flexible by mixing pieces across different drops.
“Every time that Penshoppe releases a collection, it’s always essential. It’s always things that you can mix and match with each other. So ako, it’s either I mix and match or I wear the sets as they are,” she added.
Cassie, who has been with the brand for five years, echoed that styling spirit. She pointed to how the brand’s evolution reflects how young Filipinos dress—relaxed but intentional.
“I’m so proud of how far Penshoppe has come. You’ve seen so many improvements, especially with the style and its purpose,” she shared.
For her, holiday dressing works best when pieces can move with you through reunions, parties, and downtime without sacrificing comfort.
Meanwhile, Darren echoed the idea that holiday dressing doesn’t need to feel complicated or restrictive. He said he gravitates toward clothes he can move in, even when styling up for the season.
“Holidays are a great time to express yourself, pero comfortable ka pa rin. That’s why I like pieces I can use anywhere—rehearsals, events, or nights out,” the singer-dancer explained.
For him, the best outfits are the ones that feel festive without sacrificing practicality, especially when schedules are packed with performances and gatherings.
James closed the program, sharing a style philosophy that ties music and fashion together. He wore pieces that reflected his understated yet bold aesthetic, built around comfort and strong visual elements. He said his outfits shift depending on his mood and whatever creative direction he’s currently exploring.
“My style depends on my mood. Because of my work, there are so many different looks I have to switch between, and I love that there’s a variety for every feeling and every song,” he shared.
For him, fashion works best when it mirrors where he is creatively, not just seasonally.
The pop-up offered a look at how the ambassadors are approaching holiday dressing this year, leaning toward pieces that are easy to wear, comfortable for full schedules, and flexible enough to style in different ways.
