SM MAKES THE CUT FOR DENIM LOVERS

With each fashion season bringing a barrage of fancy, modern pieces, it is hard to imagine how a 19^th century garment designed as laborers’ work wear in America’s Western States, served as a staple of style all throughout the world. 

From the place of normal clothing, denim jeans have risen to be a fashion icon and have been widely embraced by everyone from politicians, celebrities to plain juan. The evolution of cuts from wide-leg to skinny and washes from acid to deep indigo have been a styling rubric that challenges us to rethink the way we dress and present ourselves. Because of the resurgence and continuous metamorphosis of denim jeans, the all American classic is no longer confined as a pair of work trousers but as a must-have basics and much-coveted collection in every closet. 

EVERYTHING FOR JEANS LOVERS fashion show is the biggest campaign of SM City Marilao for all denim lovers. It is a celebration of passion for jeans, giving everyone’s hardest-working-pair a facelift. 

Choosing to evoke as gods and goddesses, the show opened with a theme inspired from Game of Thrones. This highlights the beauty and raw sensuality of unembellished denim jeans from Bench, Mossimo, Mags, Sabella, Exquisite, The Big Shop, Markus, V+, Code Blue, Tank, Baleno New and SM Store’s in-house denim line; Jag thug, Crissa, Dickies, Petrol, RRJ, Next, Fubu and Tribal. Models looked fierce and provocative with their jeans on, paired solely to bare skin, flawless hair and natural make-up. 

Taking a cue from fashion dissection of urban comfort and alluring casualness, punk chic trend and street style were all over the runway as the first collection sent the audience to play vibe. The same jeans worn for play were translated as structured utilitarian piece for work. Modern, muted and tailored tops were given sophisticated twist to be work-appropriate. 

More drama ensued as feathers, bustier, lace tops and tuxedo jackets donned the incarnation of ‘60s mod fashion, 70’s hippie-glamor, 80’s retro and 90’s modern-minimalism. Though the pleasures of haute couture are confined to magazines and runway, styling was tapped into wearable everyday look while finishing touches were added by homegrown brand SM accessories. 

The fashion show could not have been staged better without the performance of Actor, Model and R&B Prince Jay-R. With the spawning contemporary interpretations of jeans, SM City Marilao reinvents itself as the new hub for trendsetters.

Long Live Tunics

Tunics are one of the most versatile fashion trends ever created. They can be worn in so many different ways and are just so fabulously chic on almost everybody (no matter what size they are in). It is best worn on your ‘thick days’ because it camouflages any bulge around the tummy and hips. Accessorized it with belt and you are ready to turn heads with that hourglass figure. This amazing fashion trend can also take you from work to play by simply dressing them up for the evening with a pair of stilettos or wear it alone as beach cover-up.  You could also pair it with nice blazer for that smart casual office attire.

Because there are so many ways to wear them, the trick is to play with your proportion and find the one that flatters your figure to recreate your style. Below are few of my suggestions on how to rock them.  Enjoy reading!

• Rock it with skinny jeans- Generally the rule or idea here is to balance something long and loose on top with something that fits on the bottom. Skinny jeans and leggings are the best option to balance the tunic. It controls the volume so that you would not look baggy or pregnant (unless you are really pregnant). Add some bangles (like what I did), belt for a polished look, oversize bag and sunnies.  Ola! You are good to go!

• Go classic with flare pants- Who says flare pants are out? Surprisingly, the classic flare pants are good choice! It could be worn with tunics because it is slim through the thigh and bells out at the bottom. These pants give you an illusion of svelte legs while elongating your body to make you look taller and slimmer.

•  Accentuate with accessories - Thicker and colorful belts are simply stunning and contemporary cool. For a more polished look, go for thin weave belts. If you feel a lil’ bit adventurous, try a blazer or a cropped cardigan on top of your tunic. You may also opt for tights and knee high boots for that perfect Gossip-girl-look.

• Bare-leg-combo for a daring look- There are stores that offer a little more length than normal tunics. These tunics could be worn as dresses or cover-ups. Wear it with your favorite stiletto and you are on your way to that classy and formal look. Remember to choose a feminine color like peach to give you an ethereal look. Also, match it with strappy flat sandals for that hippie-boho vibe that is oh-so-summery!

• Preppy side of shorts- Because of the scourging heat of the summer, pairing tunics with cute shorts and flats are so adorable. They are perfect for lunch dinner with friends or barbeque parties. Always choose solid colored shorts to go with your printed tunics for that preppy vibe.

LONG LIVE TUNICS!
