MANILA, Philippines - The evolution of jeans into an iconic fashion item has given rise to many styles, shapes, and washes — from slim to relaxed, from light to dark, from acid washes to what-not. Designers have also added cool heavy stitching, patches, and distress detailing to give it that edgy feel.
With so many types of jeans in the market, the challenge is to find the right pair that will make you look your best. Surplus gives readers a guide to finding the right pair of jeans.
Skinny Fit
Sprayed on or slouchy, this style skims in the calf and ankle. Skinny jeans are a good choice for petites because they do not have a lot of fabric to weight the body down. Petites also look great with dark wash jeans, as this will make them longer and leaner.
Slim Fit
Men will stand tall in slim fit jeans, which are constructed to keep them looking lean.
Straight
A classic look where the lower leg falls straight from the knee, these are suitable for more formal occasions. Straight-cut jeans look also best with boy-shaped bodies, as this minimizes extra fabric, which causes the silhouette to look heavier. Surplus has straight-cut jeans in both regular and big sizes.
Jeggings
This super-stretchy style is meant to fit like a second skin. It looks best on curvy figures as the stretch hugs your curves and shows them off.
The denim collection is available at Surplus stores in SM Supermalls. For information, visit Surplus Shop at Facebook.
