Although we'll always have room in our closet for body-con, form-fitting pieces like leather leggings and evening dresses, we'll also always maintain loose, baggy pieces in our rotation, particularly big shirts. This basic succeeds in being everything at once: a breezy necessity for summer heat and big enough for winter layers. And while big shirts are typically comfortable and ideal for lounging on the couch, they may quickly become seductive if you pair them with heels or boots.

Whatever your own fashion choices, there are probably a few ways you can incorporate large shirts into your everyday wardrobe. However, we've gathered some ideas to get you going, so whether you want to keep it classic, dress up your loungewear, give it a western twist, or update an old button-down, here are some of our favourite interpretations of the trend.

Knot a Regular Shirt

When worn with a long skirt or high-waisted pants, an oversized shirt or button-down will highlight your dimensions and freshen up your appearance. Bonus points if your bottoms also have a playful aspect, like ruffles or a pattern, as they will give an additional layer of enjoyment.

Move Your Feet in Heels

For warmer weather, a baggy shirt paired with shorts works great, and heels help to dress things up. This attire would be suitable for both a backyard cookout and a night out on the town.

Activate Your Muscles

Consider wearing an oversized muscle tee to keep things simple. The look is effortlessly stylish when worn with leather joggers or baggy pants and sneakers or sandals.

Start out easy

A longer, wider T-shirt or button-down can also be worn as a dress. Add a matching shoe and a diamond pendant to create a homogenous appearance, or replace them with something more surprising, like a pair of western boots. It's a simple look that nonetheless has impact.

Recall to prepare

Grab a knit or structured vest and layer it on top of a simple, roomy button-down for a more fun look. The bottoms can be whatever you like, and a tie is optional, but it will have a sombre, academic vibe anyway.

Try the conventional

Of course, wearing jeans with an oversized button-down is a classic combination that will never go out of style. You are letting the world know that you are serious but can still have fun by leaving a few buttons undone, especially your cuffs. Boots, sneakers, or heels are all suitable finishing touches for brunch, date night, and the workplace.

Get set, go, match

A pre-planned costume consisting of an enormous shirt and matching bottoms can be worn with either sneakers or slip-on loafers, depending on your preference. Dare yourself to wear it with a bralette during the day to give it an off-duty twist.

Twist and Roll (and Accessorize)

On warm days, choose to tuck your big graphic tee into a pair of shorts that are also very baggy. For an effortless transition from day to night, a structured jacket and a large statement necklace can help pull the ensemble together.

Set Free

We occasionally have the impulse to dress completely in baggy clothes. This particular styling option is the most at ease and makes us feel as though we are wearing nothing at all. You just cannot get more cosier than this casual weekend ensemble with a pair of slip-on sneakers.

Top it all off

Unsurprisingly, a large shirt can double as a jacket on brisk transitional days, giving you more warmth and flair. After layering it over your outfit, you can decide whether to keep it open or button it before adding a few essential items to finish the appearance.
