What is the "oversize" trend and which body shapes does it flatter?

While the fashion of the past two decades has focused on form-fitting clothing, recent years have seen a resurgence of comfortable and loose-fitting garments. They are now everywhere, from the runways of top designers to ready-to-wear shops.

This trend has a name: “oversize”, which literally means “oversized” in English. It’s all about giving bodies the freedom to move while harking back to the style of the 1990s. Whether it’s flare jeans or roomy jumpers, these garments create a distinctly contemporary look that can be quite elegant and feminine if chosen wisely.

How to Choose an Oversized Jumper That Flatters You?

The oversized trend can flatter all body shapes, provided you choose well-tailored garments that enhance your silhouette.

One might think that if you choose to wear an oversized jumper, it simply means picking a garment that's way too big for you. However, that's not always the case, especially if you’re on the petite side. In this scenario, I recommend opting for clothes that are designed to be worn loosely, which you can choose in your actual size. This way, you can achieve an oversized look without it feeling like you’ve borrowed your big brother's or partner's jumper!

If you have a curvier figure, take a look at the collections designed specifically for curvy or voluptuous bodies. These garments are crafted to accentuate your curves without adding bulk to your silhouette.

Finally, if you have a tall and slender physique, and you're fairly tall, you can get away with wearing an oversized sweater. However, limit yourself to only two sizes larger than your own, to avoid it being too baggy and restricting your movement. Make sure it isn't too long when you wear it either: the trend leans towards high-waisted pants and shorter tops!

Our Best Tips for Wearing an Oversized Jumper in a Feminine and Stylish Way

Embracing oversized fashion is a bit of a revolution in your wardrobe! To ensure you’re wearing chic and stylish outfits, I’m sharing a few simple tips that will help you dress well every day.

Only wear one oversized garment at a time!

The oversized outfits seen on the runways often consist of multiple baggy garments. However, for practical and aesthetic reasons, it’s usually easier to go for a single loose-fitting piece. This item will become the standout feature of your outfit, making it unique and stylish.

Pair it with a fitted skirt

If you're not quite used to wearing very loose clothing yet, I suggest pairing fitted trousers or a skirt with your oversized jumper. This will highlight your silhouette and give your outfit a nice blend of femininity and casual style.

Wear Heels

Lastly, in line with the previous tip, wearing heeled shoes will elongate your legs and enhance your silhouette, while also giving you a lovely posture.

👉 If you're not too comfortable with high heels, you could wear ankle boots or wedge shoes instead.

Show Off Your Skin!

Are you worried that your oversized sweater might be too baggy, making your outfit look like you're hiding under layers of fabric? To avoid this, just show a little bit of skin, such as:

• By exposing one shoulder, to create a lovely asymmetry,
• By choosing a beautiful V-neckline,
• Or by wearing an oversized jumper with a crop-top cut, which is very trendy and will show off your midriff.

👉 If none of these options are suitable, you can simply roll up your sleeves to your elbows or opt for a bottom that shows off your legs to give your look a dynamic and relaxed vibe!

Give It Shape

Some jumpers can be really oversized, and you might feel like they don’t flatter your shape. To avoid this, simply wear them in a way that hints at your body’s curves.

With a belt

You can choose a wide belt that matches your jumper. Wear it around your waist to accentuate your hips.

Heading into the Foreground

This tip works especially well if you’re on the shorter side: simply create some dimension in your jumper by tucking it in slightly at your waist. For a stylish look, only tuck in a portion the size of a fist, making sure to let the jumper blouse over the top.

Play with colour and texture contrasts

To create a stylish and modern look that makes a strong visual impact, don't hesitate to pair clothes that really stand out from one another. This can involve creating a contrast:

• using shades by mixing dark and light tones,
• using materials and fabrics by pairing a wool jumper with leather-look trousers, for instance.

Accessorise Your Outfit

Accessories and jewellery are perfect for completing an outfit. With an oversized jumper, don’t hesitate to wear a lovely necklace that’s a bit larger, like a long chain necklace. It can be adorned with a colourful pendant that matches the colour of your eyes, creating a nice touch.

You can also wear a hat with this type of outfit. Finally, when it comes to the bag, feel free to play with contrasts by choosing a small bag or a subtle crossbody bag that you can wear over your shoulder.

Some Outfit Ideas with an Oversized Jumper

To wrap up this article, I’ll share a few examples of trendy outfits that you can draw inspiration from, no matter what your style is.

Casual chic with skinny jeans and ankle boots

Incorporate an oversized sweater into your everyday wardrobe by pairing it with skinny jeans and low-heeled leather ankle boots. This simple and casual look is perfect for heading to work or for a day out with friends.

Easy to wear, it allows you to skip your coat on a lovely winter day by layering up under your sweater.

Stylish in a leather skirt and high heels

Are you worried that wearing an oversized sweater might harm your sensuality? By pairing it with a leather skirt and heeled boots, you'll create a look that is both glamorous and sophisticated, showcasing your femininity.

If you have some over-the-knee boots that you're too shy to wear from your wardrobe, now's the time to bring them out!

Career woman, in a pencil skirt and high heels

The oversized jumper can also be a perfect fashion piece to add a personalised touch to a slightly formal outfit. When paired with a pencil skirt and stylish shoes, it will give you the look of a true fashion enthusiast who enjoys creating unique outfits that are both relaxed and chic.

Bohemian Style: Light Jeans and Wedge Sandals

Spacious and comfortable are two adjectives that perfectly define bohemian chic fashion. This trend, which combines the originality of hippie chic style with the elegance of high fashion, celebrates oversized clothing.

If you have a bit of a bohemian side, you can wear an oversized jumper with light blue or white jeans during mid-season. In summer, you can team it with denim shorts for a casual, feminine look!

This type of jumper pairs exceptionally well with a long pleated skirt, especially if you’re on the taller side.

To add some flair to your outfit, don’t forget to wear some nice accessories that will help you express your style.

👉 If you're looking to wear this type of outfit in winter, opt for sheer, lightweight tights to show off your legs and add a touch of sensuality to the overall look.
