Oversized style in women's clothing and combination rules

Oversized style does not leave the catwalks. The secret of its popularity is its ultra-fashionable looks and the convenience of things. Like all trends in clothing creation, oversize has its own characteristics. Let's learn about them, and also look at the rules for combining style elements in images.

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

What does the oversized trend mean in women's clothing, its features

The translation of this word of English origin - “too or extra large size” - already gives an idea of ​​the main feature of the style. The elements that create the image look as if you made a slightly wrong choice - things look loose, baggy.

It is difficult to name the exact period of the origin of the style. A prerequisite for its formation can be considered the rejection of corsets and crinolines in 1920 - by preferring loose clothing, women thereby demonstrated independence. But the famous fashion designer Kenzo Takada showed the features of this trend most clearly in his collections of the 70s.

At first, his clothing style, which mixed kimono with Western fashion items, shocked the public, accustomed to tight-fitting silhouettes. Today he and other Japanese couturiers (for example, Yohji Yamamoto), are considered the creators of a trend that involves wearing wide, voluminous things, which has turned from a trend into a sustainable trend. The main concept that these fashion designers followed was to give the body space and also not to show it off.

In 2020, oversized clothing is one of the most fashionable trends, along with other styles in which one of the main characteristics is ease of wear. For example, sports or daring and provocative grunge.

A significant advantage of the style is versatility - wide styles suit almost everyone, and can also be successfully combined with many directions. Loose clothing gives slender silhouettes even more fragility, and if there are flaws, it ideally disguises them.

Reference. Ladies with very curvy figures should not choose oversize - they definitely don’t need extra volume.

The cut and texture of clothing come to the fore in oversized style. Well, the color palette of things is usually restrained and neutral. To create a harmonious image, it is better to combine loose wardrobe items with tight-fitting ones, thereby observing one of the basic fashion rules: voluminous top + narrow bottom or vice versa.
