Need a pick-me-up? If you’re like us, that’s nothing retail therapy can’t fix. Since you’ll be getting a lot of invites to parties over the holidays, it pays to shop for pieces that can brighten up your mood and take your style game up a notch for your get-togethers (or, you know, you could also shop for the special people in your life and make their day).
Below, our picks from your favorite fashion brands under Robinsons Specialty Stores, Inc., which include Topshop, Topman, Dorothy Perkins, Burton Menswear, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse, River Island, Shana and G2000:

Ah, the dapper dude—how we love spotting guys like you! Don’t get us wrong—we’re not looking for a beau (at least that’s not the main reason why you make our heads turn). What we really can’t get enough of is your sense to suit up and match—or mismatch in an interesting way—your belt with your shoes, especially during special gatherings.
Low-Key Lovers
For him: Burton black Harrington jacket, P3,995; Burton light washed denim button-down, P1,995; River Island black skinny jeans, P1,890; River Island chukka sneakers in black, P3,290

If you’re going as a couple, and you both want to come in effortless and discreet OOTDs, go for no-fail fashion formulas—a button-down and jeans for guys and ensembles with stripes and textures for ladies. Neutrals, monochromes and deep hues are foolproof choices, too. Zip-up jackets and sweaters will be handy if there’s a need to dress down an outfit.
