How to adopt the oversize trend?

How to adopt the oversize trend?

As we've noticed on all the major catwalks, for several years now we've been playing the extreme dimension card. One thing to remember: XXL is winning out over XS. From voluminous coats to baggy shirts, silhouettes are freeing themselves from tailored cuts. But how do you embrace this trend without overdoing it? The art of oversize is based on a subtle balance: combining large pieces with structured cuts. Follow our guide and master the oversize trend without looking drowned in fabric or losing elegance. As a bonus, discover our favorite oversize garment.

The oversize concept in fashion

The concept of oversize is an ode to the freedom and fluidity of silhouettes. Inspired by 80s aesthetics and unstructured menswear, oversize transcends the codes of traditional ready-to-wear to breathe new life into contemporary fashion. Oversized pieces, such as wrap-around coats, oversized shirts and baggy pants, redefine the relationship between clothing and the body. Far from being a mere fashion statement, this style embodies a certain attitude: that of not being afraid to stand out, of playing with volumes to create a look that is both daring and nonchalant.

Incorporate oversize into your everyday look

1. Choosing oversized pieces

To embrace the oversize trend, it's wise to invest in key pieces that remain versatile. Oversized blazers and wide-leg jeans are essential for a masterful first step in this fashion trend.

A structured blazer with exaggerated shoulders instantly brings a touch of sophistication to any look, whether paired with jeans, a midi skirt or even a light dress. It's both classic and daring.

As for oversized jeans, their loose, casual cut reinvents traditional denim with a modern edge. High or low rise, they elongate the silhouette while playing with volume. To make them even more fashionable, pair them with a close-fitting or tucked-in top to create a subtle contrast.

2. How to accessorize an oversized outfit?

When it comes to enhancing an oversized outfit, accessories play an essential role in structuring the ensemble and adding a personal touch. The trick is to choose pieces that balance volume without weighing down the silhouette. A wide belt, for example, worn at the waist over an oversized dress or blazer, instantly redefines proportions and creates a more fitted look. As for bags, structured models are your allies: opt for a rigid clutch or a well-designed shoulder bag that contrasts with the fluidity of loose-fitting garments. Shoes, meanwhile, should elongate the silhouette; heeled ankle boots or pumps refine the look while adding a touch of femininity. Finally, when it comes to jewelry, opt for delicacy: a pair of elegant earrings or a fine necklace are enough to brighten up your outfit without overpowering it. The key is to play with accessories to create a harmonious look, while letting the volume of your clothes express themselves boldly.

Playing with proportions for a perfect silhouette

The secret of a successful oversize look lies in the art of playing with proportions. It's all about finding the right balance between loose-fitting pieces and more fitted cuts to avoid the dreaded "potato sack" effect.

The trick is simple: combine a single oversized piece with more structured elements. For example, if you opt for a loose-fitting top, be it a sweater, shirt or XXL blazer, choose fitted pants or a pencil skirt to create a harmonious contrast. Conversely, as mentioned above, oversized pants or baggy jeans gain in allure when worn with a slim-fitting top or jacket.

The key is to keep in mind that oversize doesn't mean sloppy: mastering proportions means mastering the art of effortless chic.

How to choose the right sizes for your oversize clothes?

Adopting the oversize trend doesn't simply mean buying clothes in a size larger than your own. The art lies in choosing pieces that are designed to offer a loose silhouette without losing structure. When choosing an oversize garment, opt for a cut that is specifically designed to be loose-fitting. When in doubt, try on an oversized piece in your usual size before going up a size. Well-designed cuts create the desired effect without the need for exaggerated sizing. Remember: oversize is a question of proportion, not size, and well chosen, it will give you a silhouette that's both modern and elegant.

Oversize for every body type

One of the great strengths of the oversize trend is that it adapts to every body type. Whether you're tall, short, slim or curvy, oversize can flatter every figure. It's an inclusive trend, where it's all about harmony and self-confidence.

For curvaceous women, loose-fitting pieces can subtly conceal certain areas while highlighting other assets. For petite women, it's best to opt for slightly loose cuts and play with accessories such as belts. Taller women, on the other hand, can play with proportions much more freely, by adopting an oversized total look, for example.

Our favorite piece? The oversized bag

This year, it's omnipresent and never ceases to seduce us with its resolutely trendy allure and generous capacity. For this autumn-winter season, we're particularly fond of color in burgundy red or chocolate. Both practical and fashionable, this bag is a must-have investment, becoming the centerpiece of your outfit. Its fullness allows you to play with the proportions of your outfits, transforming a simple look into a bold fashion statement!
