MANILA, Philippines--Diversity is something people are always open to?especially when it comes to shopping. That is why when a new store opens, it is always welcome. 5CM, one of Hong Kong?s well-known street brands has finally reached our shores.

5CM carries men?s wear for now. The clothes are edgy but wearable, simple yet stylish and at the same time they don?t make one look overly stylized.

The current collection is composed of plaids, whites, blacks and grays, but there are also some colored bright pieces. It looks very basic; but it?s the fit and the proportion that give the brand that edge. Though the pricing is a little expensive compared to the other popular brands, 5CM?s pieces are keepsakes which can be worn beyond the current season?perfect style staples that can be fun to mix and match.

Inspired by Japanese and British street fashion, one can look the part without the ostentatious price tag.

Visit the 5CM store at the 3/F, The Atrium at SM Megamall. 5CM will open at SM Mall of Asia this October 2009.
