How to wear an oversized shirt
Oversized clothes are distinguished by a special cut. Due to the increase in the size of individual parts, it sits looser than the standard one. An oversized shirt is most often longer than a regular shirt, it is not fitted, and the shoulder seam is lower and can go down to the middle of the shoulder.
In general, an oversized shirt can be combined with anything, as long as you like it. Style is a matter of personal preference. But it happens that a thing wardrobe there is, but it’s impossible to wear it, because the reflection in the mirror does not meet expectations. Here are a few options on how to fit an oversized shirt into your look.
Roll up your sleeves
For decades, clothes have been made to look as slim as possible. Oversized hides the figure, which many may not like. But if you roll up the sleeves a little, thin wrists will become visible, which will create a contrast between the volume of the shirt and the fragility of its wearer.
Choose other things for a set according to the figure
The principle is the same as with sleeves. If only a shirt is voluminous on you, the image will turn out to be relaxed. However, the overall silhouette will show the figure.
Tuck in your shirt or tie it in a knot
Due to the increased length, the oversized shirt hides waist. If it is tucked in or tied in a knot, the waist will be visually visible. At the same time, it is not necessary to tuck a shirt in a circle: it is also not easy to fit so much fabric into trousers or a skirt. Sometimes it is enough to get by with one shelf for the silhouette to change.
Wear an oversized shirt open
Under the shirt can be a T-shirt, T-shirt, dress - whatever. And due to the vertical line that the unbuttoned shelves create, it will turn out to look taller and slimmer - if you are interested in this, of course.
Try on shirts of different lengths
Sometimes you may not like an oversized shirt look for an unobvious reason. For example, it ends at the widest point of the hips and visually expands them. If so, then just pick up a thing of a different length, and this will solve the problem.
Wear a shirt under other oversized clothes
If you want to wear your shirt closer to your body, and put on a vest, sweater or something similar on top, the next layers should also be oversized. Otherwise, things will be “cramped”, it will gather in folds. At least you will be uncomfortable. And perhaps the image will turn out sloppy.
What looks to try on with an oversized shirt
Let's skip the obvious options right away: with jeans, with bike shorts, with leggings, and so on. There are no tricks here - you take it and wear it. Consider a little more unusual combinations.
With corset or corset belt
Just a belt is an obvious solution for those who are going to emphasize the waist. And not always successful if you want to look slimmer, because there is a risk, on the contrary, to add volume to yourself due to a large amount of fabric.
The corset or corset belt is much wider, so the silhouette will look different.
