Social media's “skin sensei” Dr. Winlove Mojica gave some clothing tips while slowly transitioning to the "new normal" phase on Unang Hirit on Tuesday, June 9.

Due to the health threat of COVID-19 , people are planning to get sets of personal protective equipment (PPEs), which they will use when they go back to work under general community quarantine (GCQ).

But according to Dr. Winlove, wearing such might only worsen the risk of contracting the virus.

“Kasi, nakikita ko na maraming excited na, 'O, magsusuot ako ng PPE,' pero hindi naman sila healthcare worker, hindi naman sila pupunta sa ospital.

“Mayroon kasing dangers ang pagsusuot ng PPE. Bukod sa napakainit siyang isuot, dine-dread siya ng healthcare workers na isuot,” he said.

He also related that there is a method of wearing PPE.

“'Yung PPE, mayroon siyang steps kung paano suotin at papaano siya hubarin.

"'Tapos 'yung mga nagsusuot nito na healthcare workers, hindi naman sila lumalabas du'n sa area na kanilang ginagalawan, 'yung pinagtatrabahuhan nila, nandu'n lang sila.

“What is necessary is you wear your face mask,” he added.

Here are Dr. Winlove's tips for your safe yet still fashionable clothing amidst the pandemic:

1. Button down shirts with short sleeves
2. Drawstring pants
3. Canvas shoes
4. Rubber shoes with rubber sole
5. Simple accessories (stud or flat earrings)
6. Clean hairstyle
a. For girls: top knot hairstyle
b. For boys: very short hair
7. Fabric bags

You can avoid COVID-19 AND still look great!

Fashion ideas this pandemic:

1. Button down shirt. Para madaling hubarin (hindi tatama sa mukha kapag hinubad). Short sleeves para mabilis mahugasan ang kamay hanggang siko (pag long sleeves mas madali kumapit at kumalat ang germs) pic.twitter.com/YpGcjWqgv1
