I don’t know about you, but I love an oversized shirt! I just think they are so versatile, and I always style them when I never know what to wear. The good thing about an oversized shirt is that you can style it all year round, whether you're in hot hot Bali or in below minus temperatures in Toronto. It’s a staple everyone needs in their wardrobe and is a timeless piece.

 

1) THE CLASSIC SHIRT

To keep it simple, style the shirt how it's meant to be. Grab a pair of your favourite jeans or joggers and pair with the classic oversized shirt. To go the extra mile, grab a pair of trainers to match the colour of the shirt to keep it crisp and clean.

 

2) LAYERING UP

For the colder times of the year layering up your shirts is a great way to keep warm and look stylish. Try putting a jumper on over your shirt, knitted or a classic vintage jumper would work perfectly for this look. To top it off, why not add a cool bomber or even a leather jacket.

 

3) AS A BEACH COVER UP

Oversized shirts are great for when you need to chuck on something to grab lunch when you're on holiday in a bikini. Even if there’s a slight breeze from the sea, pop an oversized shirt on and you're bound to stay warm and look cute. Add your favourite beach bag and some slides and you’re guaranteed to look effortlessly good.

 

4) AS A DRESS!

This is the perfect representation of comfy but cute. Simply grab your oversized shirt and pop on some heels or boots, match it with your favourite bag and you're done! Such an effortless way to style an oversized shirt and you’re bound to look sophisticated for any meal out or event you've got.

 

5) Open Shirt

This is such an easy way to add a layer if you're a little bit chilly and need a jacket but not one that will make you too hot. I think this just adds an extra dimension to the outfit and you can really play with the colours and patterns. 

 

The Oversized shirt is such a versatile piece that I believe everyone should have in their wardrobe. There are endless ways to style it and keep it up to date with all the trends. It has been a fashion sample for so many years and will no doubt carry on.
