Drool...

Abercrombie & Fitch's Spring/Summer 06 catalogue is out! My friend once said that this catalogue to me is the equivalent of a porn magazine to every average joe. After all, both A&F catalogues and Playboy have centerfolds and they're both eye candy.

Last season's catalogue were all about bulky jackets and long sleeved henleys, which was nice but not so appropriate for tropical countries like the Philippines. Yup, they'd work in Hong Kong, but you can only wear them for 2 months a year. That, fashion-wise, isn't very versatile. So it's so nice to see the short sleeved shirts and polos back on the pages, plus the noticeable return of shorts and sandals.

The shorts this season are divided into cargos and board shorts. The cargos are made of canvas and twill, with the signature padded pockets and drawstrings. The colors are all earthen, which makes pairing easier. The board shorts are cool, if you're a beach bum and/or live in Boracay. But wearing these in the city will be so off-putting.



The polo shirts are drool-worthy, as expected. Having a few of these babies in my closet, I know how great they fit, how comfortable the fabric is, and how eye-catching the colors and destroyed details are. On record, my red A&F polo shirt must be the most used shirt in my closet!

I'm so glad that there aren't any A&F stores in Manila or around Asia. If they had, i'll probably blow all my money there. After all, if their catalogue alone is enough to get my adrenaline pumping, what more if I could actually see, feel and fit the entire thing.
