Over denim jeans
Denim jeans and an oversized T-shirt is a winning combination. Throw on a few key accessories to put your entire look together.
As a dress
If you’re feeling bold, wear an oversized T shirt as a dress. This no-pants look is a celebrity favourite and Hailey Bieber and Malika Arora are proof of just that. Combine it with knee high boots or a pair of sneakers.
Tucked in
Opt to tuck your tee into relaxed trousers for a more casual daytime look. Bonus points if you pair it with a vibrant pair of sandals.
With biker shorts
Style your oversized tee with biker shorts and you’ll instantly be elevated to a cool-girl status. Alia Bhatt’s graphic tee and bright-hued shorts keeps her look interesting, while her heels add a feminine touch to the outfits relaxed silhouette.
Make it glam
Pair your oversized tee with a feather, ruffle or a sequined skirt to cut down the basicness and glam it up. Add bold earrings or a headband, and a pair of heels to complete the look.
With a blazer
If you like layering, this tip is for you. Throw on your favourite oversized T-shirt with a blazer on top, and a pair of heels to elevate the fit. Like Dua Lipa does, sport this look at work or a casual brunch with your friends.
Cinch It In
If you think an oversized T-shirt covers it all and want to accentuate your waist, you can put on a belt, a cropped top or a corset over it. This will give your fit, more structure and a silhouette that will flatter your body. Deepika Padukone has set an example for us, in this statement yet casual look.
Pair with a miniskirt
Tuck your tee in to make way for a skater skirt like Ananya Panday has been seen doing. This will help you go modest on top in contrast to the mini skirt. It will make for a great athletic look when paired with chunky shoes.
Leggings for the win
Balance out the oversized top with a skinfit bottom. Whether you’re hitting the gym or heading out to run errands, this combo speaks comfort. This will also give you a chance to show off your sneakers, so make sure you put your best foot forward.
