There was a time when dressing up meant sacrificing comfort in the name of fashion. But at the launch of the Penshoppe App on April 28, ambassadors Cassy Legaspi, Darren Espanto, and Julia Barretto reminded everyone that style doesn’t have to come at the expense of ease.
For Julia, building a wardrobe starts with timeless pieces. “Anything comfortable is a must-have for me, and I’m a proud clothes repeater,” she said. Basics are her go-to. “I love a plain white shirt, a short skirt, or denim shorts. White and black are versatile colors, and yellow is fun, but my favorite color is purple.”
For Julia, staying fresh this summer is simple: “Maybe it’s being in your best, most comfortable outfit—that’s what makes us feel fresh.”
Cassy also shared how her priorities in dressing have shifted. “Before, I used to dress for style, but now I dress for comfort. The reason is, I feel more at ease when I can move around and be myself,” she said.
Known for her energetic personality, she emphasized the need for flexible pieces, especially during the hot months. “I’m very animated when I move, so I need an outfit that’s comfortable, especially during this season.”
She’s also learning to experiment with her look. “Through the years, I stuck with one style, but now I’m open to exploring different ones and showing a bit more skin. I’m more confident now, and I get to express myself more,” she said. Her current summer favorites include linen and sporty tops, especially in yellow.
Darren approaches summer style with practicality in mind.
“During summer, I dress for comfort because it gets really hot here in the Philippines. But you can still dress comfortably while staying stylish,” he said.
His travel kit always includes a portable fan, deodorant, cooling wipes, and sunscreen. “If you want to layer, go for linen—something that doesn’t stick to your skin.”
Their thoughts on fashion highlight a broader shift. More people are opting for clothes that align with their daily lives and personalities, rather than merely following trends. That’s where the new Penshoppe App comes in. Available on both iOS and Android, it offers users access to exclusive discounts, shopping rewards, and a growing community through Club Penshoppe.
Club Penshoppe allows users to connect, stay inspired, and feel part of something bigger. With figures like BINI, James Reid, Ysabel Ortega, Miguel Tanfelix, and many others involved, the platform serves as both a style hub and a loyalty program.
As Penshoppe Brand Director Brandon Liu explained, “The Penshoppe App makes it easier than ever to shop and rewards our customers for their loyalty. Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, the app ensures every moment with Penshoppe counts.”
Fashion has always been about expression. Now, it’s also about feeling good in what you wear—and with the Penshoppe App, building a wardrobe that does both has never been easier.
