Chic, shimmery–but accessible–holiday dressing

Dubbed “A Mixology of Style,” The Ramp’s Holiday collection kicks off the New Year with a bang. The homegrown retail brand serves up accessible glamour for the holidays, featuring on-trend frocks and separates that are easy to layer and style to create different looks.

Tuxedo-dressing takes shape in paneled trousers and skirts in monochromatic hues. To keep things interesting, the brand’s designers Mario Barrientos and Macel Pangan added patent leather details to high-waist cigarette pants and peplum skirts, which can be paired with Le Smoking jackets or high-shine blouses.

For the festive season, leopard prints take a back seat to snake prints in glossy finish. From luxurious but comfy drop-crotch pants to dainty peep-toe sandals, you’re sure to get your faux fashion fix in one go.

Capping the alluring collection are ruched dresses, satiny trousers and lamé blouses.

If those don’t satisfy one’s need for all things shiny, must-have accessories such as opulent bangles, swanky chain belts, and statement-making neckpieces in silver and gold would get any fashion fiend on a high.

Tying the myriad of separates and dresses together is the brand’s selection of capelets in neutral black, nude and white, adding  instant  oomph to the holiday wardrobe. Just slip one over a chic palazzo jumpsuit or feminine mini.

The Ramp is  at the 2/F, Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati City, and Crossings Department Store, 2/L, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, corner Edsa and Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City.
