Oversized men's clothing

Anyone who is even slightly interested in fashion trends and current trends knows that oversized clothing is incredibly popular today. However, it is unlikely that many can explain what this style is or how to create an image following its concept. Just wear things a few sizes larger? Not so simple! Let's try to figure out what this fashion trend in clothing is for the stronger half of humanity.

You can not only read the article, but also listen to it.

Features of oversized style for men

How can you briefly characterize this trend that is relevant today? This or that trend differs from another in terms of cut, color palette, prints, etc.

Oversized style in clothing for men is, first of all, practical clothing of a characteristic style, implying simple designs and a loose silhouette.

Such things replaced tight-fitting and figure-emphasizing wardrobe items and were initially received ambiguously. However, like any ideas that ever appear that fall out of the general context.

Reference. The birth of oversize - specifically as a fashion trend - can be called the 70s of the 20th century. The trend for wide, voluminous clothing was presented to the West by Japanese fashion designer Takada Kenzo. In his collection, he mixed the cut options typical for a kimono with European styles. The designer’s concept was based on the principle of “giving the body space.”

Cutting nuances

To create an image in this genre, you need to purchase oversized items, and not just 2-3 sizes larger. The fact is that to achieve the “baggy effect”, men’s clothing is created according to special patterns. They imply an increase in some elements of the product, its “dimensions” essentially remain the same.

Colors

In certain fashion trends, for example sea, the basis of the style is shades and patterns. In oversized clothing, the “mood” is usually set by the style and texture. However, there are still certain nuances associated with the characteristic palette in this fashion trend - it is predominantly restrained and neutral. Achromatic tones (white, gray, black) and powdery (shades of beige, dusty pink, etc.) are welcome.

Reference. The combination of bright colors and voluminous silhouettes is not recommended. Things with similar characteristics give an “over-the-top effect”, destroying the harmony of the image.

Shoes and accessories

The oversized style is very loyal to shoes. You can complement the outfit with any models - the choice should be made based on its fashionable orientation. You shouldn’t go overboard with accessories—one or two are enough, and you definitely can’t do without them. These include a bag or a watch. The look is complemented very organically by voluminous shArf. They are perfect for any top - coats, sweatshirts, sweaters and jackets.

Oversized men's basic wardrobe

Items of clothing that can make up a successful and atmospheric outfit include:

• loose T-shirts or tank tops - plain, printed;
• jumpers and cardigans - large or fine knit;
• sweatshirts, sweatshirts;
• wide trouser models, slightly baggy jeans - the latter can have a worn-out effect;
• jackets and suits with a characteristic cut for growth;

For outerwear, you should choose a stylish, voluminous coat of any length, texture or color. A parka model jacket or a loose trench coat would also be appropriate. Things with military elements will look especially fashionable.

How to properly combine clothes in an oversized look

The key to a harmonious outfit is correct proportions. One of the advantages of this fashion trend is that it is universal, that is, it suits almost everyone. Except, perhaps, for those with too voluminous figures, he makes them even more massive. There should be one oversized item in a look - only the top or bottom. But what exactly to choose for a particular person depends on the body type.

If you are an “inverted triangle”, that is, you have wide shoulders and a narrow waist, it is better to have a loose top. For example, a sweatshirt, sweatshirt, T-shirt, jacket. In order not to spoil the harmony of the image, these things should be dark, and the pants or jeans should be light.

If you have an imperfect belly and not too broad shoulders, a multi-layered look would be an excellent option. Avoid shorts and short-sleeved shirts. Choose a camouflage or other colorful print that will disguise figure imperfections.

The oversized style is ideal for creating a masculine look, of course, if you are not “hostage” to a strict dress code. It helps not only to look fashionable, but also to feel freedom and comfort in any situation.
