4.4 Fresh Faces: Jolo Ejercito

Jolo Ejercito, I BS Legal Management

Extrovert and outgoing, this freshie definitely knows how to make a good impression. An expert in the art of conversation, Jolo is your typical nice guy on campus and doesn’t find it hard to make friends even though he is just a newbie on campus. Add up his talents in singing, dancing, and acting and we have a bonafide triple threat. 

What he’s wearing:

The look that he his sporting during this shoot has a sort of nautical style to it. Not one to follow, Jolo says that he doesn’t really follow fashion trends but instead mixes and matches his own clothes to add his own personal style. He shares that you should always try to look your best because you never know what might happen to you. You don’t want to be caught off guard looking shabby when your crush passes by or when you meet someone important. Right?

If you take notice at the color scheme he is wearing you would notice that he chose neutral tones of blue and brown, a classic combination that is soothing to the eyes. Although the outfit is dominantly blue, accents of brown such as his shoes and belt balances it out. Definitely a well put together look that the ladies would surely love.

Advice from the Bluebook: It’s easier to dress down than to dress up, so be prepared to always look your best.

4.3 Fresh Faces: Fons Martinez

Fons Martinez, I AB Communications

Quite the dandy, the friendly Fons just loves to add flare and pizzazz to what would normally be a boring and typical day in Katipunan. Always in the know, he loves going to different events and happenings around the metro, living quite an interesting and fun-filled life outside the walls of Ateneo de Manila University. At present, he shares that he feels at home in campus noting that he knows quite a few upperclassmen. A new addition to the Dollhouse, he was actually spotted recently in the Dollhouse elections where he donned an even bolder outfit for the occasion.

What is he wearing:

Having an innate sense of style, fashion has always been something that came easily to Fons even as a child. He usually sticks to monochromatic tones and basic palettes but always makes it a point to add something different and eye-catching to his look. For this shoot, you would notice that he is sporting a gray-fringed vest that breaks the monotony and adds a bit of zest to his look.

Some may choose simplicity and comfort, but he says that he prioritizes fashion over comfort. He takes pride in his androgynous look, which enables him to experiment with vast variety of different styles. The BlueBook team admires his keen fashion sense and bold confidence in the way he handles things.

Advice from the Bluebook: Be fearless.

4.2 Fresh Faces: Kenjee Dee

Kenjee Dee, I BS Health Sciences

People might think that this good-looking freshman is a SOM (School of Management) student because of his typical Chinese features. On the other hand, his course obviously proves us otherwise. Considered to be one of the most fashionable, attractive yet unpretentious gentlemen around the campus, Kenjee considers himself as the typical quiet guy on the outside but loud on the inside. And what’s more, he considers being fit highly important. For him, it is really helpful not only to be noticed but also in the personal state of mind. Knowing that he is healthy keeps him confident and happy for the most part of his everyday life. However, believe it or not, he shares to us that he was actually obese before and he lost 80 pounds in just three months! Quite unbelievable, don’t you think? But surprisingly, he still even has the stretch marks to prove it!

What is he wearing?

Nate Archibald of the popular television series Gossip Girl is one of the style icons Kenjee admires. He really likes how Nate keeps things simple but sharp at the same time. In fact, he has been following how this perfect Golden Boy of the Upper East Side dresses up ever since. Sadly, knowing that our country’s blazing hot weather limits us in wearing non-thick clothes, he shares that he can only do it when he is abroad.

Kenjee would describe his style as something preppy since he always want to look simple, but presentable nevertheless. If he were to name the essential pieces in his wardrobe, the top-of-mind answers will definitely be the belt, watch and shoes.  He believes that regardless of the brand of clothes he wears, the most noteworthy asset a guy can flaunt without over-exaggerating would be those three things. Kenjee also shares that for women, he does not think that flowery, ruffly tops or short shorts would give the guys good attention. I guess, ladies, better change such outfits and go for a simpler and more conservative look! His fashion advice is that to always wear something that reflects who you truly are. As he simply puts it, “So, chill if you do not know the latest stuff about fashion. As long as what you are wearing defines who you are, you are definitely good to go.”

Advice from the Bluebook: Being you never goes out of style.

4.1 Fresh Faces: Jyle Go

Jyle Go, I BS Management

Fashion is definitely a passion for the glamorous Jyle. She may only be a freshman in Ateneo, but she could already boast something that not even most management seniors have yet: her own business.  A budding entrepreneur, she applies her extensive knowledge and passion for fashion in designing elegant and striking accessories, which is currently being produced in places such as Hong Kong and Bangkok. She also does modeling on the side, lending her talents in this year’s Recruitment Week. 

What is she wearing? 

She goes by the mantra “Dress for yourself and not for anyone else” and she definitely knows who she is style-wise. She describes her style as "feminine chic" usually complimenting her soft feminine looks and wardrobe with edgy & eye catching pieces such as the Aritza black cotton corset and statement rings. Of course, a true fashionista’s wardrobe would not be complete without a few essentials such as the Kimono Cover-up from H&M, High-waist trouser shorts from Topshop, and Cuffed Flats from Steve Madden that she put together for this look. 

What a fashion statement! Don’t you agree? We from the Bluebook personally love Jyle’s look! Ateneans should definitely be on the lookout for what she wears next. Like Jyle’s Style? Be sure to check out her personal collection of accessories in her online shop!
