This P230,000 Windbreaker Has Been Taking Over It-Girl Wardrobes

With monsoon season officially here, torrential downpours call for protective gear that doesn’t have to come at the expense of style.

In weather like this, a windbreaker goes a long way. Often water-resistant thanks to its nylon exterior, the practical layer can tide you through a rainy day when you need to head outdoors. For the world’s It-girls, Saint Laurent’s color-blocked take on the jacket has emerged as a particularly fetching option—rain or shine.

Debuted as part of YSL's Resort 2026 line, the Cassandre Windbreaker blends together utilitarian character with contemporary detailing. In case you didn't know, the iconic sigil spelling out Yves Saint Laurent's name is called the "Cassandre," which can be found embroidered on the back of the jacket. Other key characteristics of the piece are its standing half-snap collar and strong drop shoulders.

One of the first ladies to don the piece was Hailey Bieber, who teamed the jacket with lacey silk hot pants to sit front-row at a YSL show.

Filipinas quickly caught on to the hype, copping the Cassandre in the same orange and blue version. Georgina Wilson and Anne Curtis both paired the tri-color top with jeans on their respective travel days. Meanwhile, Bea Soriano-Dee leaned into the piece's sporty energy by wearing it with leggings. Staying loyal to the windbreaker's runway styling was Martine Cajucom-Ho, who wore the big top-little pants combo on a chill day out.

As seen on the it-girls, the jacket can serve both form and function. Rock it with your preferred footwear—loafers, heels, and sneakers all work—and a cute piece of arm candy, and you're set.

The Cassandre Windbreaker retails for over P230,000, making it an investment piece you can reach for whether the sun's out or not. Aside from the ochre hue loved by the it-girls, it also comes in a variety of other color combinations. Consistent across all iterations are the drop shoulders, color-coded paneling, shirred waist and cuffs, and the unmistakable YSL stitched on the back. Hit checkout on their official website now.
