For the past few seasons, it's been all about oversize clothing. As a modest dresser, I've always gravitated toward looser tops, so I've been taking thorough notes on how the fashion set has been styling them. While I still love the fitted look on certain occasions, you'll most likely find me in oversize shirting for the foreseeable future. And whether it's a baggy sweater or roomy poplin shirt, I've been saving outfit ideas for them all. You've probably seen all the trending "big shirt, little pants" videos on TikTok and Instagram, but these outfit ideas stretch far beyond just that.
It's easy to wear a big shirt with leggings, but the ideas I've shared below will have you playing around with new pieces and getting more out of your wardrobe this season. Below, I've rounded up the most standout looks in case you wanted some more inspiration. Keep scrolling for more, complete with shopping options to inspire you further.
A colorful and oversize poplin shirt isn't as intimidating as you think. All you have to do is slightly tuck it into a pair of relaxed jeans, and you're good to go.
T-shirts can be made chic too. Just tuck them into jeans or trousers and add a blazer on top. It's the outfit idea that will always work.
Instead of trousers, try pairing your button-down with a skirt. You can tie the bottom of the shirt into a knot and then tuck the ends in to change things up.
There's nothing like a baggy and comfy sweater. Tuck any knit of your choice into loose trousers and finish the look off with a classic belt.
As I said, a loose poplin shirt tucked into relaxed bottoms will always work. This time, switch out jeans with black slacks and add sporty sneakers.
Since maxi skirts usually have a looser fit, you might feel too intimidated to wear a bigger proportion on top. But tucked in with a belt, the look works. I also think sneakers complete the look effortlessly. (I can thank Bella Hadid for reminding me of that combo.)
And when you don't want to wear a maxi, opt for a mini. A "big shirt and little skirt" combo is one the fashion set will not be retiring anytime soon.
Don't be afraid to layer accessories with oversize silhouettes. Instead of wearing a thick blanket scarf, this thin knit scarf is the ideal pairing for a big sweatshirt or T-shirt.
