10 Local IG Clothes Shops for Classy, Chic, and Comfy Outfits
Here’s a list of local IG Clothes Shops to update our wardrobes with extra classy, chic, and comfy outfits.
Whether traveling or staying at home, comfy and chic clothes are a must. Any mom would still want to look their best despite the harassment from household chores, homeschool portfolios, and work. What better way to upgrade the wardrobe and support local industries than to buy from local stores on Instagram? It’s normally mentioned in their profile upon opening but these IG clothes shops have already been cleared and checked out to be local.
1. AMU (@wear.amu)
Versatile and comfortable is the name of AMU’s game. Their focus is more on flowing kimonos that work well with any plain wear or outfit. The prints and styles reflect the Philippines’ tropical landscape, teasing the wearer with a small peek of the Philippines’ natural and coastal beauty. The shop also sends its products worldwide so that OFW families will not only have a remarkable fashion piece but a reminder of home as well.
2. Cariloo (@cariloo_ph)
From beachwear, travel wear, and even small houseware pieces, Cariloo shares the beauty of having large patterned prints on their fashion pieces. The use of patterns resembling the different flora along the coast reminds those who wear their pieces that there’s a world beyond the urban jungle. Combined with the floral patterns is the flowing fall of their pieces. Sometimes, wearers may even feel the summer breeze pass by while wearing their pieces.
3. Samara (@wearesamara)
Large prints and bright colors are what make Samara. Their pieces focus on more circular and wave-like prints that create a flowing effect on the wearer. But there are a few with more leaf-like patterns like their wrap shirt — the Poppy Top. Samara’s modernized take on these classic fashion styles allows anyone to feel comfortable with themselves whether or not the color’s too young or too old for them.
4. Seek the Uniq (@shopseektheuniq)
Seek the Uniq challenges fashionistas to become a trend themselves with their classic and bold pieces. Some of their bold pieces such as the Carillo 2-pc Skirt Set (Blue Gray Paisley) use the blue and grey paisley print but with a bold cut to showcase the blue and white with buttons along the skirt to control how flowy and bold the skirt should be. Seek the Uniq also has other items to help further the transformation into becoming Uniq.
5. Áraw (@araw.theline)
Prints are pretty but plain essentials are eternal with Áraw focusing more on pieces that are the core to the tropical look. From tank tops, shorts, dresses, jumpsuits, and clothes sets, Áraw provides pieces that can be used any time and not just for the beach. The minimalistic approach in Áraw’s essentials makes any pragmatic fashionista happy after a severe closet decluttering.
6. Unif0rm (@Unif0rm)
Comfortable and chic for the fashionista that prefers the contemporary and young at heart. Unif0rm has more billowy pieces to create a loose and relaxed silhouette. Their collections focus on parts of society that rely mostly on structure, reflecting their preference for geometric patterns rather than artistic ones. A structured style of fashion and wearing a Unif0rm doesn’t have to be rigid and irritating when the fabric is soft and breathable.
7. Renegade Folk (@renegadefolk)
Going rogue in a world full of prints and fancy cuts is the way of the Renegade Folk. The artisans’ handiwork reflects styles that are not only comfortable but chic and timeless. Their Timeless Sandals bring chic and comfort to closed-toe sandals with their rubber outsoles, making it more fun to walk in. Other pieces are easy-to-wear items such as crops and gartered pants, making sure that comfort starts even when people are getting dressed.
8. ANGKAN (@angkanworld)
Carol De Leon’s pride and joy, ANGKAN, came from her drive to create sustainable fashion and that the world had not seen enough of the Filipino artisans’ talents. Her return to the Philippines prompted her to redirect ANGKAN’s focus to the artisans’ chic and comfortable embroidered pieces and other traditional pieces born from generations of culture found in the indigenous communities. There’s nothing more comforting than knowing that some contributions were made to create a Circular Economy, providing livelihood to those that urbanization and modernization abandoned.
9. Anika (@wear.anika)
Launched in 2016, the local IG clothes shop focused on creating seasonal keepsakes that never lose their comfort and being chic. Anika took a page from the Slow Fashion book by creating sustainable fashion for both mother and child. Their clothes made from soft varieties of linen make it more family-friendly and fun for fashionista moms to twin with their little princesses.
10. Ta LouLou (@taloulou_)
Ta LouLou’s feminine approach on custom-made orders makes any piece perfectly comfortable and chic. From the fabric, hem, cut, and style, each clothing is curated specifically for the one wearing it. Their mastery over different soft fabrics maximizes how the dress falls. Some of their dresses come in silk, others linen. Although it’ll take some pre-ordering, each fashion piece will be worth the price paid. Their Odile Dress is the perfect example of that.
