LAST year’s denim trends had all that drama – extreme flares, pearl embellishments, distressed patchwork – but it’s now time to be playful. Instead of novelty items that you’ll get quick likes on Instagram, these pieces are versatile building blocks for your wardrobe.

It’s now time to up your fashion game with Surplus in the versatile fabric that suits anyone. Think of Bella Hadid in stellar denim on denim outfit or Kendall Jenner in her distressed jeans.

Get the skinny on jeans with the straight leg jean silhouette that was the silhouette for many brands – from Balenciaga to Saint Laurent to high street denim agenda setter Weekday.

White denim is the coolest denim trend, cooler still with frayed edged.

Play with shapes in similarly opposing silhouettes- a slim denim jacket worn with a wide leg bottom. Go tonal by mixing shades of blue – a deep dark wash with a slightly lighter indigo for a softer, more modern take on the denim on denim look. Fashion loves contrast, and denim is no exception. Try mixing a thicker, heavier denim with a lighter fabric to add a nice, unexpected sense of texture.

The denim collection and other versatile and trendy pieces are available at Surplus stores located in most SM Supermalls.
