Stripes, leopard print, plaid, tribal, psychedelic- patterned prints always make any outfit a tad or a whole lot interesting.

DLSU's BEST DRESSED: Ecks Abitona

Ecks Abitona | ID 109 | BS Advertising Management

How do you describe your style?

"A little edgy, a little boho, a little glam, basically a little bit of everything."



What are your staple clothing items for school?

"I have this intense affection for any clothing item that is black. First off would be my black satchel. It's incredible how easily I can pair it with any top, any shoe or any skirt. Second would be my favourite LBD (little black dress). Not only is it a must for women but it's also something very versatile that you can wear at any place or any occasion. You can just simply wear it with a kimono or a slender sweater, subtle accessories and you're good to go to school or even a dinner date. Last and definitely not the least would be my trusty black combat boots that often brings out the androgynous side of me." 

What are your all time favorite trends?

"I can and will probably never get enough of maxi skirts, bodycon dresses, color blocking, combat boots and THE leopard prints that we're oh-so fond off." 

Who are your style icons?

"The goddess of minimalism and grunge: KATE LANPHEAR. It astonishes me how she can be androgynous and glamorous at the same time. No one does it better than her. I also look up to Carine Roitfeld, Rachel Zoe, Alexa Chung, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss and Rumi Neely." 


Can you give some tips to your fellow Lasallians on how they can dress up for school without compromising both style & comfort?

"Stock up your closet on basics! It's a necessity because you can never go wrong with it. At the same time, just be yourself and don't be afraid to take risks. Fashion doesn't have rules. Translate your personality into your own style and with confidence, you'll be the talk of the town!"

DLSU's BEST DRESSED: Cristina Decena


Cristina Decena | ID 110 | AB International Studies- Major in American

How do you describe your style?

"I've always had a fancy for dressing up. I make sure to add eccentricity to my outfits, something that would set me apart from the crowd, say a pair of heart shaped sunglasses or eye-catching statement rings. I have no style in particular because fashion fads are ever so changing but something that I can say about my style is that it is whimsical. Today, I can either be Mary Kate or Ashley, donning braids and a maxi. The next day, I can be Lady Gaga, rocking a studded leather jacket and sultry red lips."


What are your staple clothing items for school?

"One of my school must haves are my Ray-Ban sunglasses. We only have one set of peepers so we gotta protect them from the scorching Taft sun. Also, my favorite wedges as they make me voguish without having to sacrifice comfort."

What are your all time favorite trends?

"I am very ecstatic about the color blocking trend hitting the runways once more because I adore playing with colors. This trend along with animal prints, over-sized sunglasses, statement necklaces and sexy tousled hair."

Who are your style icons?

"The ever so stylish people on Lookbook.nu plus local and international fashion blogs I follow serve as my inspiration when dressing up day to day."


Can you give some tips to your fellow Lasallians on how they can dress up for school without compromising both style & comfort?

"It helps to invest on key pieces such as plain tops, well-fitting jeans and dainty ballet flats. Wear breezy fabrics and stay away from sweaters as you will feel like an oven. Embellish dull colors with striking accessories. The goal is to look chic and feel carefree at the same time."
