Loose silhouettes in clothes came into fashion in the 70s, when the hippie movement appeared, which had a great influence on fashion and culture. Followers of the hippie movement wore long, flowing dresses and skirts, shirts belted with woven belts, vests, loose T-shirts, blouses and tunics. The relaxed style of clothing was supported by casual hairstyles, accessories with ethnic elements and hand-made jewelry.
Later, the hippie style will grow into a separate direction - boho, for the development of which creative bohemia is responsible. Artists, musicians, and actors fell in love with the free, relaxed, moderately ethnic and truly creative boho aesthetic for its originality and great opportunities for self-expression.
In the 80s, hip-hop culture came into fashion and the fashion industry received new inspiration. Musicians and dancers preferred ultra-loose clothing that was actually several sizes too large. The clothing combinations were multi-layered and complex, but all elements were selected in large sizes. A knee-length T-shirt, wide jeans, a hoodie or sweatshirt on top, and a bomber jacket or sports jacket on top.
It was hip-hop culture that gave impetus to the development of the oversized style in the modern sense, despite the fact that the female oversize trend is very different from the male one.
The key feature of the trend is clothes with a deliberately voluminous cut. The style of things can be different: casual, sports, street style, so that you can create images of different types, adhering to one direction.
In a casual style with oversized elements, comfort is key. In this direction, a combination of casual clothing with sports items is encouraged, for example, skinny jeans and voluminous hoodies, bomber jackets, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatshirts. For older women, for example, over 50 years old, combinations of voluminous cardigans and straight trousers or an oversized coat and classic jeans are suitable.
As part of your everyday oversized style, you can wear voluminous tunics, blouses, jumpers, sweaters, combining them with a narrow bottom, or, conversely, with the same loose jeans, trousers or skirts. The second option is suitable for young people, while women of an elegant age should stick to classic combinations so as not to add extra pounds to themselves with overly voluminous clothes. Victoria Beckham often uses oversized elements in her everyday looks.
Street style is a favorite trend of young people and fashionistas all over the world, because here you can afford the craziest combinations without the risk of looking strange or ridiculous. Oversized street style welcomes contrasting combinations, a mix of styles, original combinations of textures, and layering.
The sports component is also strong here and thematic items are often used: hoodies, baseball caps, caps, beanies, bomber jackets, sweatshirts, sweatpants, backpacks, sports bags, and sweatshirts. In the street version, voluminous items are combined with equally voluminous items and all this is mixed with sports accessories.
Bohemian style has grown into a separate direction from the hippie subculture. But today boho combines ethnicity, eclecticism, gypsy style and much more. This is one of the most creative trends where layering is a key characteristic. Boho often uses oversized elements in combination with layering and a combination of textures. Boho is characterized by skirts and maxi dresses made of flowing fabric, jackets, shoes and accessories made of suede, a combination of viscose and leather, floral print and brown color, and jewelry in ethnic style.
