Debenhams in Glorietta Cheaper than Marks & Spencers

when i was in pinas for a vacation, i came across a store that sells knits, sweaters and jackets. It's called Terranova. Also, you can check out Zara and Marks & Spencer.

[mama squeak!]

For woollen coats, there's a stall in Greenhills that sells affordable ones. Price range is 1.5K up.
For thermals, I get mine at M&S.

For a little price difference, go to M/S.  This will not be your first and last winter trip, so those M/S thermals will serve you well... they keep their shape well.

Go to Zara's.  All you need is  1 good versatile coat that you can wear with your shifts and pants... that can decently go from day to night.. Then bring 1 thick muffler and say 2 scarves.  A couple of good cardigans will do the trick.  It is cold only when you are out of the buildings,  so you don't need to dress like an Eskimo -- but dress as you usually do here in the Phils:  fashionably sensible. 

Don't forget to buy leather gloves when you get there.  I do not know where you can buy these here in the Phils.

Remember, cheap isn't necessarily the best... always, when you go abroad:  Best foot forward.  We Filipinos have a lot to be proud of.

Greenhills. Shoppesville. 2nd floor ata. May 1 store doon selling good quality trench coats and other outerwear.

Hi girls, I was in Beijing last week and it was -4!  OMG!  What saved me were Heatech inner shirts from Uniqlo.  Price starts from RMB  19.00.  I had wool gloves from Zara and it didnt work.  I was freezing!

I agree with aquacharly.  I bought winter coats from Mango and Zara when it was on sale.  Puffer jackets work too but a good black coat is more versatile. 

You would also need a scarf.  But if you have a pashmina or something like it, that can work too.

[theryanne]

Sorry, Uniqlo is available everywhere but here.  Japan, HK, China, NY.  So if you chance upon a Uniqlo in your destination, try the heatech shirts.

Its would be my first time to experience winter kaya nahihiya pa ko mag over the top winter attire. Haha. I dont want to look too balot na balot. Baka magmukang hindi talaga taga doon hahaha. Pero hearing your stories, mukang dapat nga magexpect ng worst. Mahirap na kung lamigin parin kahit naka outfit na. Mas magmumuka akong kawawa haha

hi.. i experienced this dilemma few months ago. I wasn't able to ask for suggestions here, buti nalang hindi ako nagpost ehe. Mamahalin naman kase mga suggestions ng mga sis natin. I passed by these mentioned shops kaso ang mahal grabe. I was thinking na di naman ako madalas pupunta sa snowy na place kaya ayaw ko maginvest masyado... mahal na nga pamasahe namin, gagastos pako. I went to russia by the way. And it went as cold as -8 deg when we went there. And hindi ko pinlan na magpapicture na isang klase lang ang suot ko kaya ayaw kong bumili ng mahal. Kase sigurado pag bumili ako ng mahal, i can only buy 1  . I needed to buy atleast 5 para palit palit pagdating sa pictures... I settled going to ukay ukay instead. Basta may fur sa loob and with leatherette... yun na! Try mo, mainitan ka rin naman..you'll feel it. And i also bought my thermal suit sa SM dept store. It's cheaper than MS. Pero kinaya naman talga ang lamig. It really depends on the suit and the temperature... kahit naman pagka kapalkapal ng suot kung talgang malamig na malamig e, wala rin. I suggest kung di ka maselan, ukay ukay is the best place. Brands i got there pala were Zara, MS, Bossini (for my hubby and son), and others na di ko na matandaan. Imported din naman ang ukay ukay, pinaggamitan nga lang. Be sure ligo ka pagnafit mo. Or better ask the saleslady na, pag nalabhan tska mo ifit, pag di kasya, papalit mo i did that here sa pampanga i hope this helped Importante rin ang mittens, bonnet, scarf and shoes mo. Kase ang head, neck, hands and feet ang hindi dapat malamigan. Yan ang dapat makapal. Jan ka maginvest. Pero ako nakabili lang din ako sa Ukay2. bili ka ng boots na abot hanggang below the knee. Yung di ka mapapsukan ng lamig talaga... i also bought socks na below the knee length. balitaan mo ko

Terranova. Also try ukay-ukay.

[runbarbierun]

Terranova, kaso lang the clothes aren't very... fashionable? Medyo cheap looking yung iba, but if your scrounge around, you'll find something good din naman. Promod, Mango, Zara has some really nice/thick coats.

Saan may mabibilhan ng gloves? Parang mahirap humanap nun..

[rics]

Parang sa Baguio before, i saw knitted gloves (malayo nga lang, sorry for the suggestion).
But mind you, even leather gloves doesn't work in sub zero temperatures, even if it has an inner lining, manipis pa rin. For really freezing temps, you can use snow gloves, but quite bulky. the trick is, if you are not holding anything, make a fist while your hands are inside the gloves, it will keep your hands from being too cold.

ukay ukay din meron. better buy 1 snow gloves then kahit mga knitted na. Ipangloob mo ang knitted then snow gloves. as in below zero temp di nga kaya ng kahit na anong gloves... pero kesa sa wala di ba?

[andywandy]

Try Terranova I think they sell faux fur coats, long sleeves and scarfs. Really affordable

If you're from the South, you don't have to go to Makati to visit Terranova and other branded stores. You can drop by SM Southmall My sister bought her clothes there for her Korea trip
