Flaunting the roomy silhouettes is in now! For all good reasons, of course. Be it a slouchy style button-down shirt or denim that looks and feels relaxed, oversized clothes are having a moment. And judging by the popularity of ‘loving its looseness’, the style trend is here to stay.
But there is a fine line that differentiates between keeping it intentionally baggy and looking frumpy. The key lies in how you style the generously cut pieces!
Guard these easy hacks to make your oversized look a head-turning fashion statement!
The Proportions Matter
Oversized outfits look better with the right proportions. For example, a loose-fit shirt teamed up with leggings, fitted trousers, or a sleek skirt adds a contoured touch. Similarly, mom-fit jeans or baggy pants look better when complemented with fitted top wear.
Keeping it proportional doesn’t mean clubbing loose with tight only. Opt for subtle contrast to allow your entire outfit to appear noted and not intentional. Simply put, allow that one oversized piece to steal the attention.
Shape your Waist
Relaxed-fit clothes may sometimes camouflage your shape under the voluminous look. Here, you should aim to keep your appearance looking structured and not uniform. Defining your waist is the quickest hack to add some lines and curves to the voluminous clothing.
Adding a belt, tucking a top for crisped look, or keeping it half-tucked to ace the fuss-free glam are some of the easiest ways to define the roomy fashion.
Think a baggy shirt dress made structured with a statement belt or a lovely loose-fit cardigan tucked in under high-waisted denims. Let there be some ‘shape’ to the laid-back look.
Pick Structured Pieces
Oversized doesn’t mean going all slouchy. Flaunt pieces that look and feel polished regardless of their flowy appearance. Investing in a few capsule essentials like a crisp semi-formal shirt, sculpted-shouldered jackets or blazers, and wide-leg trousers will allow versatile styling choices.
Fabrics make a noticeable difference too. Refined cotton, stiff denim, or striking wool give a tailored touch to the baggy aesthetics. Your oversized style should look intentionally roomy.
Keep The Rest Understated
An oversized piece of clothing generally appears to have plenty of ease and volume. So, it makes sense to keep the rest of things polished to achieve a balanced contrast. Focus on giving all the glory to the loose fit rather than keeping everything generously eased out.
For instance, why not pair a plain, oversized sweatshirt or tee with fitted jeans and classic boots? You will experience the whole concept of keeping that ‘loose’ piece at focus a lot better!
Pay attention to colors, prints, patterns, and textures as well. Too much vibrancy blended with a roomy silhouette will seek unnecessary attention. Keeping the rest of the look a bit restrained in fact adds a noted appeal to the generously cut outfits.
Flair Up With Right Accessories
Any look gets complete only with accessories, including free-flowing silhouettes. Your loose-fit sweater or baggy jeans will appear sharper when complemented with a structured handbag.
Or, the wide-legged trousers can get all the attention thanks to the pairing of pointy heels or sleek boots with them.
Your choice of jewelry makes a huge difference too. The plain, oversized outfits can be accentuated with statement neckpieces, earrings, or a striking watch. A funky pair of eyeglasses or sunnies can also add to the flowy and fab!
