SB19 members Pablo, Josh, Justin, Stell, and Ken are trending not just for their music, but also for their fashion-forward outfits during their performances.
And once more. their unique sense of fashion is in full display in their attire in the music video of their song "What?"
In a virtual press conference last Wednesday, July 29, 2021, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked the quintet about their individual fashion style.
And from their answers, it was clear the boys haven't been investing in designer clothes or branded wearables.
For Stell, a designer perfume is enough to complete his look.
He said, "Wala akong item na binili pero yun nga, sabi ni Miss Aiyana [Perlas], perfume nga kasi I believe...
"Natanong ako ni Miss Aiyana before kung ano yung perfume ko before and ayun, same kami ng perfume ni Miss Aiyana. Yun yung first na nabili ko po."
Aiyana Perlas is a UAAP Courtside Reporter for De La Salle University. She also served as the host of SB19's press conference.

Justin, on the other hand, revealed he's not the type to splurge on designer items.
He said, "Hindi po kasi ako ma-ano na tao parang mabili, magastos... bumibili ng something for myself.
"Hindi po ako that kind so wala pa po. Nakatambak lang or something."

Pablo has the same mindset as Justin. In fact, he hasn't bought new clothes in six months.
He shared, "Ako po kasi parang parehas lang kay Justin. Hindi po ako mahilig gumastos nang mahal sa mga admit.
"Kaya po hindi ako ano... mas gusto ko po yung mura kasi same lang naman po yung tela so hindi na po ako gagastos nang mahal.
"Last ng bili ko po na damit, last year pa."

For Josh, style is much more important than the label or the price tag.
Although, the 27-year-old performer said he rewards himself with something he really likes from time to time.
He said, "Ako po, hindi naman puro designer yung parang ina-eye ko. Parang kahit ano lang po yung ma-feel ko na, 'Ah, bagay sakin 'to ganun.'
"Kasi before po parang tamad na tamad talaga ako mag-ayos sa sarili. More on, 'Ah, okay na iyan, lalabas na akong naka-ganito.'
"Pero since ngayon po parang feel ko naman na ngayon ko lang din mararanasan, siguro tini-treat ko po yung sarili ko, ayun po."

Ken, dubbed as the "Fashion King" of the group, revealed he enjoys shopping at ukay-ukay stores.
He said, "Para sa akin, personally, I don't really care kung desiger clothes or not. Nagsusuot din po ako ng ukay-ukay. Madami po akong ukay-ukay na damit.
"As long as it's unique. I mean, hindi po kasi ako masyadong mahilig sa damit na may kaparehas so minsan napupunta ako sa ukay-ukay kasi kakaiba rin yung mga damit dun e."
But he does have some designer items in his closet—a pair of Balenciaga Triple S shoes and a Louis Vuitton crossbody bag—as seen on his Instagram feed.
Ken said, "Since pangarap ko po kasi talaga magkaroon ng mga ganun, for example, shoes po. Bumili po ako ng Balenciaga na shoes, 'tapos Louis Vuitton bag, yun po."
