Sasha Manuel 14160 days agoDuring the 2nd Taste Asia Event last Thursday, I came armed with my camera, with the intention of capturing style snippets of those bloggers in attendance. I was missing my muse and failed to be inspired by what I’ve seen or perhaps people just started going home early. Heh.
However, after seeing a couple of guys in hats upon arriving, it lit a light bulb. I’m featuring a bit of men’s fashion here at Style Manila and we’re looking at various hats or caps seen during the event.
AJ Matela of Bakla Ako, May Reklamo?
AJ and I talked more about hat fetishes and current stand of the Philippine society on wearing them, particularly by women. I enjoyed our small chat, together with Lauren, on shopping, local thrift shops (ukay-ukay!) and altering clothes. Yes, AJ and I share that commonality wherein the inner fashion designer in us comes out in certain items we’ve bought. Hehe.
Jayvee Fernandez of A Bugged Life
Jayvee is sporting the official b5media cap. One of the most common kind of hat that men wear, the baseball cap. It’s the sporty, casual kind.
TJ Cafuir of Half the World Away
One of the bolder looks is the Fedora type hat that TJ had on him. He had a Justin Timberlake-slash-Johnny Depp thing going (or so I’ve heard/read). I reckon it’s closer to a JT look since he lacks the dark, brooding aura, not to mention, a tad bit eccentric look that Johnny Depp is known for (sorry, TJ!). But I love the hat all the same.
I spotted a couple of more men in hats but failed to take a photo. They sporting a different kind of hat, too, that’s why I feel a bit bad for not being able to document the sighting. Sigh. Ah, well. If only people are a bit more approachable and less uptight then I’d be more than happy to feature them in my Style Sighting Series. Anyway, till next time!

Ok ok I’m not all too dark and brooding but hey, Depp’s my Idol. Hehe. Thanks for the pic.
I just love how Jayvee is not afraid to wear pink. Real Men Wear Pink :). Great sighting Sasha. Now what did you wear?
OMG! I look so bakla in the ppic. Wait, bakla naman pala talaga ako! Hahaha. We should go Ukay shopping one of these days!

Hey S,
Men’s fashion? Nice!…finally!…been trying to find a bigger streetwear (god I hate that term) scene here in the P.I. (besides Jon and R, and the G1 Army)…
Catchya!

I’m hoping to feature more men (their fashion) here at Style Manila. There are stylish men here in Manila after all!
