How to Style: An Oversized Shirt

When it comes to finding the perfect shirt – comfort, breathability and a relaxed style top the list for Gold Coasters.

But how does one avoid looking “sloppy” or like they haven’t made an effort if they reach for an oversized shirt?  Worn correctly, the piece will add an air of effortless edge, lived in ease and create overall balance to one’s outfit.

Let’s not make ourselves smaller this Spring/Summer!

But first, let’s learn how to style an oversized shirt this season:

WITH BIKE PANTS

Stylist Tip
Pair with sneakers and a cap for a more street style vibe, or pair with thongs and sunglasses for hot girl summer vibes.

If you’re happy to reveal your mid-section, tuck some of the shirt under your bra.

AS PART OF A MATCHING SET 

Stylist Tip
To avoid looking like you’re wearing pyjamas, rolled long sleeves up to fore arms, loosely tuck one side of the shirt in; and make sure some top buttons are opened to expose skin on the chest.

Colour-matched accessories finish the look nicely.

WITH A MAXI SKIRT 

Stylist Tip
Create some balance by clashing masculine and feminine pieces with this look.

Opt for a fun, bright graphic tee and beaded necklace for some personality, or create the effect of wearing a dress by selecting a monochrome choice and adding some heels.

OVER SWIM 

Stylist Tip
The perfect holiday staple to wear day in, day out, no matter which way it’s styled. For a comfy yet intentional look, throw a tee over that pulls from the colour of your bikinis. A colourful, oversized shirt can be buttoned or unbuttoned and paired with a beach bag some slides and worn straight to the beach bar.
