Oversized shirts have been a cozy yet effortlessly cool go-to for a while now. They're one of those wardrobe staples (just like the oversized handbag) that keeps coming back, thanks to how easy they are to rock and all the different ways there are to style them.
But there are a few things to think about before you grab that oversized shirt off the rack. Exactly what to go for will depend on what you're doing that day, as the oversized look can often be more slouchy and comfortable than it is formal. Likewise, because it's easy, particularly for those with smaller frames, to get lost in an oversized look, you may want to pick something with some detail (be it a print or pattern) to bring the focus away from the size.
You'll also want to avoid just sizing up regular clothing. By choosing something that's purposefully designed to be oversized, there'll be less chance of you getting buried by all that extra fabric. "Purposefully oversized pieces provide the additional structure you need to avoid looking like all your clothes have stretched on the hanger which just looks scruffy. You want the items to be oversized in the correct places, like the shoulders and the waist," stylist Sarah-Ann Murray explained to Fashion Beans. "Otherwise, you'll look like a schoolboy who's not grown into his new school uniform yet."
So, now you know what you're looking for, here's how you can style your new oversized shirt.
Tuck in your shirt and rock a trench
One way to stay cozy while rocking an oversized look is to tuck it in and pair it with a longer coat, like a trench. Consultant and Instagram influencer Débora Rosa perfectly demonstrated how to do this by opting for a blue and white vertical striped top which she loosely tucked into her billowing white pants during a trip to Istanbul, Turkey. By not tightly pushing the bottom of the shirt into her pants, it keeps things that little bit more comfortable and casual while also giving the look a more daytime, slightly slouchy look to help you stay cozy no matter what the temperature. If you go all out and copy Rosa's look down to the flat beige shoes that match her trench, you'll be comfortable — and stylish — all day.Read More…
