What is an oversize shirt?

Oversize, more than the usual size - these are clothes of a loose, baggy cut, which looks as if it was chosen not according to the size. A common misconception is that any large shirt of a loose silhouette is oversized, but this is not the case.

Oversize things are sewn using a special technology, deliberately increasing its individual details. At the same time, in the store, such a product will be labeled with your clothing size, but in fact it will sit freely and look voluminous.

Features of the fit of the shirt oversize:

  • Freedom of movement. The product should be sufficiently free in all its parts - chest, back, shoulders, sleeves. True oversize is not semi-fitted or fitted - only free and, as grafted, straight cut;
  • Deflated shoulder seams. Unlike classic models, the shoulder seam of which passes exactly on the shoulder, oversize has a deflated seam, which is located in the gap between the elbow and shoulder;
  • Increased length. Classic oversize involves long shirts - about up to the middle of the thigh. There are exceptions – short oversize models, but these are isolated things.

When choosing an oversize, focus on your clothing size. If the model is really oversize, even in size S it will be free. Both young girls and women after 40 or 50 years can integrate a dimensionless shirt into their wardrobe. Here the main thing is to correctly combine it with other things - we will talk about this further.

Styles and oversize

The second erroneous statement that we decided to dispel is that voluminous shirts are suitable only for the oversize style. In fact, you can add such a product to almost any stylistic direction.

  • Casual. A loose shirt will perfectly fit into the everyday style of clothing. It complies with almost all the basic principles of casual and does not conflict with other basic things;

  • Business. If there is a loyal, democratic dress code at work, the shirt can be combined with a skirt or business suit. This image looks less official, but if the shirt is white, blue or pastel, it does not deprive you of efficiency and severity;

Business style

  • Boho. The boho style is basically built on loose clothing - baggy flying dresses or skirts, wide trousers and, of course, voluminous shirts are appropriate there. The main thing is to choose the right cut and color;

  • Patchwork. Oversize products sewn in patchwork technique are an ideal tool for a variety of wardrobes. They look great with jeans, pants and skirts;

  • Grunge. The plaid oversize shirt looks stylish in sloppy grunge. And if you manage to get a model with scuffs or breaks - there will be one hundred percent hit in trends;

As you can see, the women's shirt oversize is an almost universal component and a real must-have of the modern wardrobe.

Basic principles of creating outfits with an oversize shirt

  1. If you wear an oversize blouse, choose the rest of the things of the classic cut. Make sure that there is no overkill with the volume - to the voluminous top, tight or semi-adjacent bottom;
  2. The second rule is an exception to the first and concerns multi-layered images. If you plan to wear a sweater, jacket or cardigan over an oversize shirt, then they should also be voluminous. Choosing a semi-fitting jacket or a thin tight-fitting cardigan, you will spoil the entire volume, and the bow will look very strange;Shirt with cardigan
  3. Pay attention to the bottom line. In order not to create an accent on the hips - this is important for girls with a pear figure type, make sure that the edge is rounded. If you already have a shirt in your wardrobe and it has straight edges - make sure that they end just above or just below the widest part of the thighs;
  4. If you plan to tuck the top into trousers, jeans or a skirt, choose the bottom from a dense fabric. Thin fabric will highlight the texture of the tucked shirt and spoil the image.

With jeans and trousers

An oversize shirt with trousers or jeans is the easiest thing you can think of, but it does not make the image less stylish.

Shirt with jeans

There are several options for how to wear an oversize shirt with pants. The first is the one with jeans, when the bottom of the product hangs freely over the pants.

The second is to partially tuck it into the waistband of her pants. A neat outfit is obtained when only one shelf is tucked in, and the second falls over the pant.

Black pants

With jeans

You can tuck the shirt and completely, but keep in mind that if the jeans are tight - slim or skinny, under them the fabric of the top will crumble.

White shirt

Another interesting option for how to wear an oversize shirt with jeans or pants is to create a multi-layered outfit. Wear a top, sconces or t-shirt under the bottom, and any favorite pants under the bottom.

With black pants

And do not get hung up on jeans - a voluminous top is easy to combine with different types of trousers with leather, corduroy, military or pajama style.

Leather pants

Pajama style

Insulate the bow in the fall or winter will help a sweater, jumper or cardigan - just put it over the shirt and straighten the sleeves and collar.

With knitted jacket

With skirt

Feminine outfits, which help to look fragile and gentle, are obtained by combining an oversize shirt with a skirt. For the combination, choose any style of the bottom and any length you like.

Paired with a tight-fitting midi-length skirt, tie a shirt above the waist - there will be a stylish and most importantly relevant image for the summer.

Skirt and shirt

Miniskirts are also good if you want to be a little bold.

With plaid skirt

Is the skirt very short? It doesn't matter - tuck the top asymmetrically and let the bottom line stick out a little from under the skirt. It's even more interesting that way.

With denim skirt

A white shirt paired with a black skirt will look original if you wear a top, sconces or a purse over it.

And remember that skirts have a lot of materials - gabardine, tweed, satin, silk - with any of them you can beautifully wear an oversize shirt.

With pleated skirt

With shorts and bicycles

In the summer, when it's too hot outside to put on pants and jeans, shorts and bicycles replace it. Shorts are most often chosen short - they are barely visible, but the material for shorts can be different - denim, cotton, linen.

A stylish monochrome combination will be obtained if, instead of a classic white shirt, you choose a blue one and complement it with denim shorts.

Although with another neutral bottom, the blue shirt looks appropriate.

Shirt and shorts

Street style insists on experiments, so the white and blue color of shirts is not limited. In summer and spring, green models paired with shorts will help to match the natural color.

Shorts and T-shirt

As for bicycles - they look great in white or black, although, of course, you can diversify the range.

Without bottom

It's time to move on to unusual combinations and figure out what to wear an oversize shirt with in an original way, not like everyone else. A bold option is to wear it like a dress, that is, without a bottom.

Shirt as a dress

To some, this option will seem too risky, but the image turns out to be so stylish and sexy that you can forgive literally everything. You can wear a shirt freely or tie it with a belt or belt - the attention of passers-by is ensured.

Like a dress

With vest

A shirt with a vest adds a bit of officialdom, a hint of preppy or academicism to the bow, but how strict the image will turn out in the end depends on the bottom that you choose.

Image with vest

If the length of the shirt allows, wear it like a dress. The length of the vest can be any - both elongated models and standard length options are appropriate.

For a more restrained bow for a walk through the city streets or even work, it is better to wear trousers.

With black vest

With T-shirt

Continuing the theme of multi-layered bows, we will dwell on T-shirts. Under the shirt, wear plain white T-shirts - they create an additional layer, but do not distract attention.

And yet - instead of a T-shirt, you can use a turtleneck or longsleeve.

With dress

And lastly, but definitely not creatively, the option is to stylishly wear an oversize shirt with a dress. A dress-combination of beige color will complement the same shade of a tight shirt. To enhance the contrast of fabrics will help corduroy or leather model instead of cotton.

With linen-style dress

You can wear oversize shirts under the dress. In this case, it is better to avoid monochromatic total bows and play on sharply opposite shades - a black shirt and a white combination or vice versa - a light blouse and a dark dress.

With a dress with thin straps

You can combine colors within a similar palette – for example, pastel. In this case, a calm blue shirt is ideal for a pale pink dress.

With combination dress

Of course, you can choose a dress that is far from the lingerie style - with a print, patterns, bright drawings. A plain shirt is perfect here, but the most desperate fashionistas can experiment - choose a plaid model, striped or use denim.
