This might just be the fashion solution to all your #adulting problems.
The modern rite of passage from college to the adult world can be complicated. There are countless questions of what to wear and how to look, on top of how pricey or figuring out what office chic really is. That’s why six college seniors from Ateneo de Manila University came up with Mileño Clothing PH, a men’s and women’s brand that reinvents corporate chic by creating a modern collection that faultlessly suits and captures the Filipino millennial lifestyle (on a budget).

The brand’s mantra says it all: “Comfort, not conform.” With their fashion-forward pieces like slacks and polos, Mileño blurs the line between campus and office #OOTDs and instead marries them by introducing clean-cut, professional staples.
Devoid of the unwearable and ill-at-ease, Mileño’s clamor for comfort, style, and simplicity manifests in their successful take on paradoxically standout basics.

If you’re on the lookout for sleek and versatile pieces, Mileño’s collection features the LAZARO Men’s Slacks (P850) available in khaki, navy blue, and black. Made out of stretch twill and garterized at the waist, these slacks will change your notion on the disconnect between comfort and style. Lastly, the slacks’ cropped hem adds a modern twist, conveying youth and, perhaps, brightly colored printed socks.

For all aspiring (or already existing) girl bosses out there, Mileño lets you redefine your success with their stylish and sophisticated pants. The CARINA Women’s Slacks (P850), which are also available in khaki, navy blue, and black, are for the young women professionals ready to take on the world of work one outfit at a time.

Another style of pants that Mileño offers is the DANIELLE Women’s Culottes (P850). These pants are a trendy must-have for ensembles that are sure to make a subtle standout in-campus or during long hours at the office. Available in khaki and navy blue, these pair of culottes are the perfect staple for your everyday mix-and-match experimentation.

Keep it casual in Mileño’s ALEJANDRO Men’s Polo (P700) available in grey, light blue, and blue. This short-sleeved polo works to upgrade a lazy, uninspiring day-to-day wardrobe with its wearable fabric and classic design. Pair them with LAZARO slacks and display a clean aesthetic that will have people taking a second glance.
With their clothes, Mileño redefines the commonplace work wear that pretty much stunts impressive performance and work ethic. Catering to a market where awkward ‘adulting’ is usual, Mileño Clothing PH collection sums up the millennial culture by translating it into affordable designs (P700-P850) that manifest comfort, professionalism, modernity, and style.
Let’s get back to basics with Mileño.
