The temperatures are getting cooler, and the sweaters and jackets are getting thicker, wider, and cozier – this often goes hand in hand with an oversized fit. So far, so good. But sometimes even the coolest oversized piece can feel like it’s swallowing you up. That’s good if you want to snuggle up on the couch, but when you want to leave the house, you feel a little uncomfortable when your sweater makes you disappear.
But luckily there are a few tricks that will help you always look good in oversized pieces. We’ll tell you the five simple steps you can use to make any oversized piece look more stylish here.
Oversized trend: 5 tips to always look good in oversized pieces
Accessories make the difference
Large, oversized tops look a bit monotonous, which can quickly seem too much and make us feel like we’re disappearing into the piece. An easy way to break the monotony is with accessories, especially necklaces. Whether you use one or more layered necklaces, you can create another eye-catcher and break up monotonous looks. The necklaces also give a more elegant twist, making the look immediately seem more planned and less like loungewear. The same applies to handbags and scarves.
Roll up your sleeves.
Whether on jackets or sweaters, endlessly long sleeves are comfortable, but they are also a clear sign that something is not right for us. They visually swallow up the hands and make us appear slightly wider. The solution to this problem is very simple: now it’s time to roll up the sleeves or push them over the elbows. And, if we’re honest, we do that anyway as soon as we have to do something productive. But this simple hack not only makes the look more practical but also more harmonious, because it makes the look appear much more proportional and neat.
The length is crucial.
Another decisive factor in the oversized trend is the length of the pieces. Often the pieces are not only wide but also very long. To avoid disappearing completely into the clothes, it helps to pay attention to the length. This can be taken into account when shopping or solved when styling. For example, it can help to tuck an oversized top completely or partially into a skirt or trousers or to use the viral bra trick. This looks a little more shape and makes it visually more interesting and a little more flattering.
Your hairstyle also makes a difference
Similar to accessories, hair, and its styling can also help to make the oversized look better. Depending on the neckline and style, there can be very different hairstyles, from open, to a ponytail, to a sleek bun – it’s worth trying out a few things.
Pay attention to proportions throughout the look
The most important thing to finish with is never just focus on one piece of clothing in your look. The top and trousers or skirt should match proportionally. That doesn’t mean that every oversized piece has to be paired with slim trousers, just that both have to match. The length of the trousers is also important here because if the trousers look too long in addition to the sweater or jacket, they are guaranteed to disappear behind your outfit. It can’t hurt to show a little ankle here, this will give your outfit a little more shape.
