(SPOT.ph) Buying one piece you really like is great, but getting to wear it two ways is just better. Not only does it give you multiple pieces without taking up precious closet real estate, you're also technically paying for two things for the price of one. Local sustainable brand The Good Trade has two-way pieces from their new collection, and we have no doubts you can rock them this summer and beyond.

The Good Trade's two-way pieces
All the pieces in the summer collection are made from Lenzing EcoVero, or Clean Viscose, a soft, breathable, and eco-friendly material that's low impact, renewable, and biodegradable. The cotton textile was sourced from responsibly managed forests and uses only half the water compared to other materials, and produces 50% lower carbon emissions versus generic viscose.
If you love ribbons, the Kirsten Two-Way Sleeveless Top (P3,400) will be right up your alley. The piece has two necklines you can choose from—a v-neck with strings you can tie, and a flattering square neckline. Whether you choose to wear the ribbons in front of the back, the placket offers extra coverage, just to be sure.
Just slip on the Jacinta Two-Way Blouse (P3,400) and you're guaranteed to look put-together with minimal effort. This sleeved top features a v-neck and round neckline you can choose from.
The Belle Two-Way Knot Mini Dress (P4,200) is a fully-lined number that features a knot strap detail and v-neck, which you can choose to wear in front, or you can flip the dress for a round neckline. And of course, the dress has not one, but two pockets for all your knick-knacks and essentials.
The three styles above are available in three colorways; Hardin, a floral pattern painted in pastels; Alon, a soft baby blue; and Ulap, a crisp white. Pieces are available in extra small up to 2XL.
The Good Trade also carries two-way swimwear for the hot summer season. The Gail Reversible Bikini Set (P3,750) is a reversible two-piece that's perfect for people who can't choose just one color. One side is Hardin and the other side is Ulap, or you can opt for the Hardin-Alon combo. Supportive and chic with it's built in pads and thin straps, the bikini top is a sleek tube you can pair with other bottoms. The accompanying bottoms sit high on the waist and hugs the hips, offering full coverage even in the back.
Not a fan of bikini sets? The Chesca Reversible Monokini Suit (P3,750) could be for you. Covering up doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style and a good time. The monokini offers coverage for your behind and support for the girls in front, all the while keeping it tasteful and cheeky with the deep scoop-back.
Just like the apparel, the swimwear are available in Extra Small all the way up to 2XL.
