When it comes to looking flawlessly perfect, size always matters. For a long time, custom fits and skin-tight clothes have dominated the fashion scene. But the latest trend is to go loose. It's time to bring out all those baggy t-shirts, slouchy coats, and slightly oversized dresses that have been hidden in one's closets for so long. Oversize is taking center stage this season, especially in fall and winter collections, for both men and women.

Oversized clothes, when worn in the right way, can look just as chic and smart as the more traditional fitted ones. These roomy garments were prominently featured on runways, with collections showcasing large shirts, tunics, skirts, pants, jackets, and dresses from designer labels like Gucci, Balenciaga, Chloe, and Moschino. Oversize fashion is breaking all the rules and prioritizing comfort. Now, you can indulge in your favorite dessert without worrying about squeezing into a tight dress.

Sizing up is the new trend, rather than sizing down. But the key to standing out while wearing oversized clothing is to wear it right. For women, achieving the look often involves blending a tomboyish style with a touch of femininity. There are various styling options to experiment with when going big. One rule of thumb for oversized dressing is to keep the bottoms slim, whether that means wearing tights, stockings, or fitted trousers when the top is generously proportioned. Conversely, if you opt for bulkier bottoms like balloon skirts, flared palazzo pants, or Bermuda shorts, keeping the top more fitted will help balance the overall look.

There's a wide array of oversized clothing options to choose from. For women, these options include boyfriend shirts, buffalo plaid ponchos, oversized sweaters and jackets, slouchy t-shirts, oversized cardigans, and blazers. Big and long denim vests are also considered a must-have. In fact, oversized men's coats are predicted to be a major trend for the upcoming fall/winter season. Brands like Trussardi, Chanel, Michael Kors, and Christopher Kane have showcased interesting closures in neutral and dark shades in their runway collections this year.

To add a bit of shape and structure to oversized garments, consider accessorizing with a belt or tucking in the top. Petite women should generally avoid oversized bottoms and instead opt for larger tops. Fully figured women should avoid anything too wide, as this can work against them.
