SM Woman Plus does three of fashion’s biggest trends, turning classic themes into of-the-moment pieces that still withstand seasons.

• BLACK AND WHITE. This non-color fashion duo is a classic and here are some tips on wearing it: elongate legs instantly with a pair of black pants; use optical illusions to your advantage — one can achieve a glass-shaped figure by cinching a black and white dress with a slim black belt; freshen up a black and white look by topping it off with a dark denim jacket; and make black and white separates pop with a crisp white top.

• DENIM. Fashion’s legendary neutral fabric, denim offsets just about any piece in a wardrobe, and is acceptable in just about any function if styled correctly. Monochromatic denim isn’t all about blue — pair green denim overalls with a green tee and green denim jacket; add a feminine touch to a denim pencil skirt with a ruffled cold-shoulder top; and make a denim-on-denim outfit look fresh by pairing different denim washes.

• PASTELS AND NEUTRALS. Big girls can wear light colors including muted pastels and nudes. Don’t even worry about logically matching colors as these pretty tones have a way of sorting (and styling) themselves out.
