Oversized clothing is a hit in recent seasons, which has blossomed with the return of eighties-style fashion and women's desire to wear more comfortable clothes. However, with oversized sweaters you don’t have to sacrifice the desire to look stylish for the sake of comfort - with such a model you can create many stylish looks and always be on trend.
What to wear with an oversized sweater
One of the beauties of oversized clothing is that it is suitable for business, sports and casual wear. A loose sweater will look great with any style of jeans, especially skinny ones, as well as with leggings. In order not to make a mistake with the image, it is enough to fill in the main rule of oversized clothing - all other things in the ensemble should be tight-fitting: tight trousers, tight skirts, pencil skirts, leggings and tights - these are the ideal partners for oversized.
Note: Flared mini skirts made of leather are not only an excellent pair for a voluminous sweater, but also a very original solution.
Model features
Oversized is characterized by overly large elements: huge voluminous sleeves that gather at the folds, an unclear shoulder line. Unnaturally large neck. Some sweaters are so long that they can easily replace a tunic, or even a dress. Oversized can be expanded in three places: the shoulder line, the chest line and the hip line. The selection of the widest place is chosen depending on the type of figure, allowing you to hide imperfections or focus on comfort.
Styles
It is quite difficult to distinguish the style of oversized clothing, but there are still several main differences:
- Sweaters with fitted sleeves that look like classic oversized styles;
- “Bat” where the sleeve and the main body of the jumper are fused;
- Model with bell sleeves;
- Voluminous puffy sleeves gathered at the wrists;
- Male models that are produced as female ones.
Division by color scheme
Today the fashion is for naturalness, so models in a rustic style with colors close to natural are especially relevant. These are beige, gray, pastel shades. Among the colors on the fashion stage, olive, muted green and beige are especially popular. And while bright shades are rare these days, rich blues, crimson and black never go out of style, so don't be shy about adding a little pop of color to your wardrobe.
Pair with shoes and accessories
The selection of shoes depends primarily on which bottom was chosen for the oversize. With short skirts and leggings, high-heeled boots or over the knee boots will look especially advantageous. Stiletto heels will also successfully complement the look, especially in combination with a narrow skirt or tapered trousers.Also, don’t be shy about your favorite rough or combat boots – they will go with a loose sweater like nothing else.
Fashion style tips
Despite the fact that oversized is a shapeless model that represents casual, you need to approach creating the image responsibly, otherwise everything will look careless. There are several basic rules when putting together an ensemble with a loose sweater:
- Pay attention to the neckline: despite the fact that the “high neck” has recently become fashionable, such a collar is not suitable for everyone, since it visually hides the neck;
- Stick to a good “bright-neutral” ratio. If the sweater is the highlighting detail of the image, then all other elements can be neutral shapes and shades. Also, this model will go well with a bright “clown” skirt and will slightly smooth out the overly bright impression;
- Three-quarter sleeves, dolman and bell designs are trending. Keep up with fashion and buy yourself a couple of things in this style.
Important: Women with short stature should be very careful when wearing oversized clothes: an overly long and voluminous item will not decorate anyone, but will look funny.
Oversized is an excellent option not only for winter, but also for almost the entire fall and even summer. You can also wear a sweater as outerwear: it will perfectly protect you from the cold and allow you to create a truly cozy mood.
