Vivo has released its flagship smartphone, the V9, in Velvet Red.

The Vivo V9 in Velvet Red has the same power as its previously released Pearl Black and Gold colors. It has a 24-megapixel AI selfie camera, 16MP+5MP dual rear camera, and a 6.3-inch FullView™ Display with a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio—only in a more eye-catching finish.

Be your own ‘iconic’: five ways to re-master your Levi’s

We all have at least one old pair of Levi’s jeans that will always be our favorite. For this reason, the timeless brand suggests a clever way to reuse these well-loved pairs and make them even better: re-mastering. This technique inspires us to experiment with Levi’s jeans and personalize these to suit our individual styles. After all, the Levi’s brand has always been about authenticity and originality—and Levi’s pieces are perfect canvasses for self-expression. 

Here, Levi’s very own master tailors share tips and tricks on how to make your Levi’s as original as you are, so you can be your own ‘iconic’. 

Dress for success: snag the professional look with McJim classic leather

Dressing for success has never been given more significance in the corporate world than now when intense competition in the workforce compels you to be not just good at what you do but to look the part, too. In fact, a person who dresses sharply gets a powerful confidence boost and he is then perceived by his workmates and superiors as someone capable of getting the job done.

McJim is well too aware of this and pitches a few surefire tips for men who want to make the cut in the professional world:

• Look beyond denim. Eschew your favorite pair of jeans for well-cut classic trousers or slacks. This will give you a sleek professional look while ensuring comfort even on a long day at the office.

• Lose the t-shirts. Wearing t-shirts, sweat shirts, and hoodies at work and corporate events is a big no-no. If the office dress code is business attire or smart casual, a plain-hued short- or long-sleeved polo or one with subtle prints is a fine option.

Dockers Launches the Four Pillars: For Men Who Want to Look Sharp and Stylish Anytime

In the UK and USA, they are called fashionmistahs—men who take active interest in their appearance and pay close attention to their wardrobe. Once considered metrosexual behavior, dressing well has become a firmly established part of mainstream male culture.

And the local scene is fast catching up with this positive trend. It’s now cool for young Filipino men to flaunt their tastes in clothes and look as good as the women they’re seeing. Fortunately for them, there are menswear brands that are spoiling them for choice.

Dockers, for one, offers a variety of style choices for men. The brand that introduced khakis and the laid-back California style thirty years ago currently features various styles for men’s pants—be it slim fit, casual/rugged or corporate/formal.

Riding on the momentum of men evolving into more sophisticated consumers, Dockers—as part of its 30th anniversary celebration—has launched The Four Pillars, a new classification system that suggests the type of pants men need for any occasion.

Style changes, but Dockers® stay

Among the traits Dads are best known for are dependability and loyalty. You know that whatever happens, your dad will be there for you. They are also known to be supportive and adaptable to any situation.

On Father’s Day, Dockers® will help your beloved Dad be stylish but still true to himself. The 30-year-old brand has indeed fulfilled its promise to make dressing well a lot more fun for fathers.

Dockers® is the brand that introduced khakis to the world. And what Dad doesn’t love his khakis—those pants that are as comfortable as jeans but looked dressy enough for special occasions?

If you look back at 30 years’ worth of Father’s Day photos, one thing is clear: Style changes, but Dockers® stay.
