Oversized

Oversized as a style is the aesthetic of deliberately too-big, loose clothing raised into a whole look and a philosophy of comfort and ease. Unlike simply baggy pieces, the oversized style is considered: dropped shoulders, voluminous silhouettes and long sleeves are combined so that the look is modern and balanced rather than shapeless. This style grew out of streetwear, unisex and Japanese deconstructivist fashion and became a manifesto of freedom from clinging canons. Oversized plays on the contrast of volume and body, gives maximum comfort and a slightly androgynous, effortlessly fashionable character. The key to it is a balance of proportions: a voluminous top is balanced by a narrower bottom. It is a style of calm confidence that values comfort and a modern, relaxed aesthetic over showing the figure.
