Women’s Month: Levi’s launches first ever ladies’ power suit

MANILA, Philippines — Attuned with the ongoing International Women’s Month, international apparel label Levi’s recently unveiled its new summer collection, which includes the 171-year-old brand’s first ever women’s blazer.

The single-breasted power suit has the brand’s giant heritage logo and comes in lightweight cotton fabric, making it comfortable and ideal as cover-up from work to weekend.

“It’s the first time that we’re going to launch this classic blazer. It comes in navy blue. So it’s best paired with your denim long bottoms or even skirts,” Karen Simon of Levi’s Philippines’ Merchandising department described the suit.

The blazer goes well with other items from the extensive collection, which includes preppy, clean and modern reinvention of classics like white button-down shirt, graphic tees, denim blouses in light Tencel, linen and responsibly-produced Ecovero textiles; as well as non-denim utility cargo pants that can transition from pants to shorts by unzipping.

Just like the suit, the long-sleeve cotton top is a versatile summer choice, said Simon, since it comes in classic nautical blue and white stripes.

Featuring easy silhouettes, soft fabrics, and pitch-perfect details, the summer collection offers a fresh take on blouses, dresses, and shirts. It includes long-sleeve blouses with subtle prints and delicate detailing, such as the Carinna Blouse and the Halsey Blouse with their subtle nod to Western aesthetics, in soft denim, cotton twill, and linen. 

Aimed to become the “ultimate” relaxed jeans, the Baggy Dad family offers a range of versatile options for women. It includes the Baggy Dad, which features an easy top block and a loose, straight leg; the Baggy Dad Wide Leg, a pleated wide leg in lightweight 10 oz. denim; the Featherweight Baggy Dad and the Baggy Cargo utility pocket details for a workwear vibe. 

To complement these billowy silhouettes are woven tops in lightweight fabrics, which are a must for keeping cool when it’s hot outside. The Pascale Blouse is a breathable, square-neckline button-down, while the Joyce Resort Shirt embraces the spirit of the season with tropical prints. The interplay of casual and tailored pieces makes for
