If fashion goes hand in hand with the historical-social period in which we live, then it is “permissible” for wide and comfortable looks to be in fashion. And if in fact 2020 proved to be the year of smart working, staying at home and outfits in perfect athflow style.
How can we not continue in 2021? The evolution of comfy chic is the over, a mix between sporty and casual, which does not renounce femininity. Let’s see below the tips and rules on how to build an oversized outfit.
How to build an oversized outfit
The oversized style is actually not new to this period, but it was born and established in the urban subcultures in America since the 1980s and 1990s.
It goes hand in hand with the rap and hip hop music of those years, with the style of the skateboard boys and streetwear. In fact, we could almost call it a sort of street look, which melee more purely sporty and street elements with practicality and comfort, without however renouncing the cool and trendy style.
The current evolution of this style is precisely the new over-chic trend which offers us basic items, with a wide and soft cut, practical and comfortable, but dictated by a unique and unmistakable style.
In fact, contrary to popular belief, it is not a simple sporty style that contrasts with the skinny style. The basic rule is yes feel comfortable, comfortable and practical, but this does not mean giving up being and feeling feminine and in order.
Of course, by dressing with large and unstructured lines, the risk of exaggerating and falling too much into the “over” effect is a moment. Care must be taken, balancing the proportions well and always taking into account the harmony and balance of a look. Also because it is true that the over style is for everyone, but the first thing to look at is what really suits us and what doesn’t. The key word is therefore enhance yourself.
What are the protagonists?
Now let’s see which are the protagonists of the oversize style. As we have said, the must are the wide and soft shapes. So yeah to sweatpants, full cut pants but a little baggy, cargo pants, palazzo pants, large dungarees, sweatshirts and maxi t-shirts, T-shirts used as a soft flared mini dress. It’s still, loose shirts, even in larger sizes, as well as the rest jackets, cardigans and outerwear. The bigger the better! Obviously you must always pay attention to the proportions and your physical measurements.
For example, if we are not so tall, combining only very large garments we get the exact opposite. We would end up being clumsy and without grace and style. On the contrary, if we are very tall, pay attention to the measures and the balance between the shapes. We do not combine maxi mini dresses with kilometric bare legs: there would be too much difference in height.
