Styling yourself daily can be a toiling endeavor, but in Z-Live show takes this internal struggle and amplifies it to the nth degree. With timers, limited items, and special occasions to style an outfit for, our hosts (and guests) put their styling knowledge to the test on Style Challenge.

In the first episode of Style Challenge, our hosts, Richard Juan and Angelique Manto, as well as our special guests, Kim Cruz and Mikyle Quizon, put their personal style on the hot seat alongside items from some of our favorite brands, like adidas, H&M, and more. Want to get your hands on some of the stylish outfits they put together?
MATCH THE SNEAKERS
With only 10 seconds on the clock to pair some iconic adidas kicks to an outfit, our hosts scrambled to create fashionable athleisure looks that definitely brought out their competitive sides.
#TeamAngelique’s No-Fail Three-Stripe Style
For those that love amping up their everyday outfits with a casual yet striking sporty look, this ensemble is a keeper. With a statement silver mini backpack and the chic adidas Ultraboost 21s to tie the monochromatic look together, there’s no going wrong with this eye-catching outfit. Just as Angelique said, this look could take you from a workout, a day out, to even a night out.
#TeamRichard’s Laid-Back Cool
During Richard’s turn, he paired the ZX 2k Boost a relaxed pair of joggers, a graphic tee, and a bucket hat — a look that even Richard says is very him. With the overall comfortable, casual feel of the outfit, the shoes elevate it to another level with its popping red-orange accent. This trendy ensemble is perfect for both casual days and fun nights out.
DRESSY DUOS
Figuring out an outfit for a specific event — especially while being timed— can be tough, but our hosts were armed with reinforcements.
#TeamGoodMen’s Porma at the Mall Outfit
For this outfit, Richard and Mikyle collaborated on a look perfect for strolling through the mall for the first time after being in quarantine, featuring stylish pieces from H&M.
As these gentlemen mentioned during the live stream, being out for the first time in a long time calls for a little bit extra porma. They paired a classic pair of black jeans with a breezy white COOLMAX® tee to combat the Philippine heat for a comfortable and casual look, topped off with a fashionable checked jacket to elevate the look.
#TeamGoodGirl’s Adorable Date Look
Just as Richard had Mikyle to back him up, Angelique teamed up with Kim for this easy breezy day look. With the rules set to have each team come up with a date outfit for seeing their significant others after a week, these lovely ladies opted for a fun and flirty piece that’s sure to make them fall in love all over again.
This dainty white dress with tasteful cutouts makes dressing for a date a breeze. Being so versatile, it will be easy to pair with any shoes, whether you’d like to be in heels or sneakers, as well as any accessories. Angelique and Kim topped it off with an adorably small yet functional smartphone bag, perfect for lightweight, essentials-only occasions.
