How to wear the oversize trend well and with style

If it's really oversize, yes

Buy clothes with oversize design. By this we mean that you do not buy one or two more sizes to make it look “oversize”, the cut and the piece will not be the same (everything is thought out!) It is not about simulating this effect with garments of other sizes, everything is millimetrically measured with patterns designed for that XL finish.

Roll up everything

Showing wrists and ankles counteracts oversize and makes you look slimmer, which is why oversized garments like jackets are better rolled up. In addition, it is one of the 5 ways to wear your jacket to make it look different (without spending a single euro).

Don't be scared by challenges

You are warned: this option adds kilos to anyone. Wearing several oversize garments in the same look can harm the final result, but there is a solution for this. Soften the volume of the garments by wearing pants or a high-waisted skirt that marks the waist creating a reference point of your actual width, it is the key to making all of the above work. Olivia Palermo does it perfectly.

Show your skin

Wearing oversized clothes does not mean that you look like a bunch of fabrics and fabrics, as if your clothes had a life of their own. Simply showing a little skin on your arms, wrists or legs will give you a more natural look. From oversized sweaters rolled up at the elbows to midi skirts, these little tricks will make a difference in any oversized look.

Accessories, always in your favor

Go for elegant and discreet accessories (especially when the color spectrum moves on the scale of whites and earth tones). This practice is a staple of any fashionista manual! Combine oversized white trousers with a black bag, a patterned scarf, and some really cool sunglasses.

Risk free?

A piece to risk without risking: the oversized coat with a masculine cut. It is also great for the cold days that we have left. A single XL garment is more than enough.

Masculinize

Men's suits have become the must-have of oversize fashion. They are an absolute trend, when the cut of the waist, the pants and the sleeves are where they should be, but you have to know how to wear them and the XL effect will be perfect. If you opt for this style, go for garments in neutral tones, without too many prints, such as Aimee Song.

Lots of attitude

This trend requires putting embarrassment aside. You do not have to have a special size or type of body to wear oversized garments, everything is in your head and in the limits you put on. It is a mistake to think that the tighter you go, the better. Attitude is what counts.

Give it height!

Every time you want to show off your slim figure, hop on a pair of heels. They are chic and will give you that key effect to stylize your body, which is sometimes lost in oversize looks. An old trick to lengthen the silhouette that never fails!

Try to understand the trend

A good idea to get into this roll is to choose a fairly spacious jacket, sweater, jacket or shirt and combine them with other garments that fit other parts of your body. It's about always playing with proportions. Like Olivia Palermo with her XXL jacket and skinny pants. Use all the tricks you already know!

Bet on safe

You can combine your oversize garment with skinny jeans and a tighter sweater, to show that XL is voluntary. The silhouette of the influencer Emma Hill may appear wider than usual (which is precisely what she wants to achieve) but the elements underneath counteract the width of the jacket.

Beware of the past

The past sells and very well. Getting your father's or your boy's jacket several sizes larger has become a solution as natural as, in many cases, wrong. It is the new fever for vintage garments, but BEWARE!

This is not the case of Rocky Barnes with the beige blazer that perfectly structures his silhouette.

With a belt

If you get an XXL version of the jacket or an oversize sweater, mark the waist with a belt to visually slim the silhouette. Or, if you want to be up to date, get inspired by Teresa Andrés Gonzalvo and get a fanny pack.

Create vertical lines

Another of the styling tricks is to create vertical lines in the outfits. How to get it? It's easier than you think: just wearing the jackets open. And when in doubt, take a look at María Pombo's great look!

Try to understand the trend

A good idea to get into the oversize style is to choose a fairly spacious jacket, sweater, jacket or shirt and combine them with other more fitted garments that show the true width of your silhouette. It's about always playing with proportions. A mini bag, straight trousers and a rolled-up jacket, showing skin. Use all the tricks you already know!

Basic rule: it is not about two sizes larger

You do not have to have a special size or body type to wear oversized garments , everything is in your head and in the limits you put on. It is a mistake to think that the tighter you are, the more feminine you are, the attitude is what counts.

However, not all that glitters is gold . For some women, oversized clothing becomes a double-edged sword, it is very easy to misunderstand it and end up looking like a fashion victim in the most literal sense of the word. Many use it as a method to "hide" the extra pounds and combine it in a way that achieves the opposite effect. Playing with volumes in clothes means knowing a series of tricks to make this trend flatter you.

Checkered blazers with shoulder pads (a gift from Balenciaga), extra-large trench coats, oversized trousers whose hem goes at ground level, unexpected volumes and cuffs that reach infinity added to the new fever for vintage garments … get the jacket from your father or your boy several sizes larger has become a solution as natural as, in many cases, wrong. Watch out!

If it's oversize, yes

The first tip to know how to wear oversized garments is the simplest of all: buy clothes with an oversize design . By this we do not mean that you do not buy one or two more sizes to make it look oversize, the cut and the piece will not be the same (everything is thought out). It is not about simulating that effect with garments of other sizes, everything is millimetrically measured with patterns designed for that XL finish.

Extremes are never good, and it's not about wearing oversized jerseys and t-shirts every day, all in the right measure.

Play with the proportions

An oversized outfit with the seams and curves in the wrong place can work against you, as if you had bought the wrong size. An oversize garment with a tighter one always comes in handy . Wearing two pieces of the same intensity (that is, XL) in the same look can be very unflattering. Don't be scared by challenges, but be warned: this option adds kilos to anyone. Oversizing several areas in the same look damages the final result.

If you choose an oversized shirt or jacket, try to balance the volume by wearing slimmer, high-waisted pants or a skirt that sets the tone. Don't forget to tuck the top garment inside the waist - it's the key to making all of the above work. Lean on accessories such as belts to keep your figure visible, and elegant and discreet accessories (especially when the color range moves in the grayscale and earth tones). This practice is a staple of any fashionista manual!

Roll up and roll up

Showing wrists and ankles counteracts oversize and makes you look slimmer, which is why oversize garments are best worn with sweaters, long-sleeved dresses, coats or shirts rolled up on the arms. This also works with the bottoms of the jeans, shows the ankles and balances the entire look. If you add heels to this hem, you get a look of 10! Try rolling up the hem of your baggy jeans and adding a shoe with several inches of heels. An extra tip? Choose an XS size bag.

Bet on safe

A piece to risk without risking: the oversized coat with a masculine cut, it is also great for cold winter weather. A single XL garment is more than enough.

Being oversize already brings a cool touch, how to combine it? Betting on the opposite below. Add an XL coat to your looks to follow the trend and study the result. The silhouette may be wider than usual (which is what we want to achieve) but the elements below, such as a neckline of the shirt or the knees that peek out from under the skirt, counteract the length of the jacket, the dropped armholes and excess fabric on the sleeves. You can also combine it with skinny jeans and your favorite shirt, to show that XL is external and voluntary.

Male suits

Men's suits have become the must-have of oversize fashion. They are an absolute trend, when the cut of the waist, the waistband of the pants and the sleeves are where they should be, but you have to know how to wear them and the XL effect will be perfect. Fashion firms have lengthened the pants until they touch the ground without control and exactly the same happens with the American ones. If you opt for this style, resort to garments in neutral tones, without too many prints . Wear shoes in a light color like white or nude to create a lengthening effect, especially if you are short.
