Oversized tees are a versatile and comfortable addition to any wardrobe, but to keep your outfits from getting stale, we'll explore the art of styling oversized tees, focusing on how to achieve the perfect fit and ensure your outfit is on point.
Oversized tees are designed to be roomier and more relaxed than the traditional crew neck T-shirts. The boxy silhouette of the tee is ideal for a more laid-back, casual look. To note, however, owning oversized tees in several different tones enables you to dress them both up and down, providing you the flexibility to express your style.
The first step to successfully styling an oversized tee is understanding your frame. Your body proportions are a critical aspect of how the tee will fit you. For example, if you have a more petite frame, it is crucial to prioritize what size tee you are looking to purchase. Wearing an extremely oversized top will drown your figure and make you appear lost in the fabric. As a rule of thumb, the right-sized tee should have the tee’s hems sitting just underneath your shoulders, like the picture below:
Now that we’ve got the foundations of styling an oversized tee out the way, here are 3 ways to style an oversized tee:
- Full Tuck
- Graphics
- Layers
Full Tuck:
Tucking in your oversized tee instantly elevates a casual look, adding structure and polish to the relaxed silhouette of the tee. Tucking in the entire front hem into your bottoms, whether it’s jeans, shorts, or a skirt, you create clean lines and define your waist. This accentuates your figure in a sophisticated fashion, while also effortlessly blending comfort and style
The Graphic Tee:
An oversized graphic tee is a great way to add some flair to the standard baggy tees that people are wearing. A bold print or interesting graphic, whether it’s an accessory or the main feature of the outfit is a great way to spice up your fit. Pairing it with some solid-coloured pants will allow for a perfect combination of comfortable fashion with a little bit of edge. Take a look at VSG’s range of graphic tees with our signature boxy fit to liven up your wardrobe.
Layering piece:
Styling your oversized t-shirts underneath a jacket or flannel shirt is a great idea for an understated and casual everyday outfit. An increasingly popular way to style your oversized tee is by wearing the t-shirt over a tank top or singlet for a more festival vibe to your look, perfect for cooler days. The perfect addition to your wardrobe for this specific styling tip would be VSG’s vintage training jersey. The lightweight mesh is perfect for under or over-layering your outfit.
