I grew up wearing Lee and it’s always been a staple in my wardrobe,” he tells PUSH in an exclusive interview.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-16" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDMfSIxS9KF/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A16%2C%22os%22%3A7116246.899999999%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1077" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-16" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>When asked why he seems to look good in almost anything he wears through the year, the 47-year-old heartthrob says part of it is not limiting his wardrobe to specific styles. “I’d like to say I grow and mature with the way I dress up. But I’m also very open when it comes to what’s uso and what can fit me well. I dress up the way I do according to the occasion and I make sure to always express myself with the way I carry my clothes.”</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-18" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDy8WCXSveT/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A18%2C%22os%22%3A7150430.399999999%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1149" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-18" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Being the new brand endorser of Lee was an easy yes for Piolo. “Denim is a timeless part of our everyday lives. Denim for me is an easy choice because you can always pair it with anything. Honestly, I’m a denim person. So through the changing times, I also evolve and make sure that I’m up to date with the latest fashion. Jeans are definitely a staple because no matter the season, you can always wear one.”</p><p><em>The Kingdom </em>star admits that he is already looking forward to what’s in store for him in the new year and shares why he has never been one to list down any resolutions. “What I look forward to being able to do is to work on more projects that speak of my passion and to challenge myself to grow more in my craft. I believe a resolution is something we can act on all year round and just a one time thing,” he said.</p>
