Oversize

History of the oversize style

It is believed that baggy clothes with a loose silhouette, and the whole style of oversize is a modern solution. However, the first prerequisites for wearing loose clothing appeared much earlier. At the beginning of the last century, after the First World War, wide blouses and loose dresses appeared in the wardrobe of women, which replaced the previously popular tight and uncomfortable corsets. In the 70s of the last century, the free style of clothing was reflected in flared trousers, and in the 90s it became a trend due to the development and spread of hip-hop culture. Young men and women, especially in Europe, used oversized jeans, loose T-shirts and jackets in their wardrobes. Gradually, oversize style ceased to be the clothes of any particular subculture and tightly went into the life of fashionistas. Famous designers and fashion houses successfully combine baggy style with current trends - Balenciaga produces outerwear oversize, Stella McCartney demonstrates jackets and cardigans from someone else's shoulder, and DKNY pleases with tunics and sweaters of a baggy appearance.

• Blurry silhouette. Since the clothes are baggy and voluminous, even the most attractive figure behind loose sweaters and pants is not traced. This fact makes you choose the oversize style of thin or fat girls, who, thanks to the blurriness of the silhouette, can hide the flaws of the figure;
