Much attention is paid to achieving a good, tailored fit in men's fashion, but recently there has been a break with tradition and suddenly over sized clothes have become stylish and fashionable.
While you may have always taken great care to ensure your clothes are the perfect fit, the latest trend for over sizing is quite easy to acquire by simply not sticking to the principles of a good fit that you've always adhered to. As far as fashion is concerned its time to rebel and join the anti-fit trend.
At first you may feel a little uncomfortable if you have always been a smart dresser, but the new look is quite easy to acquire. Your first oversize purchase should definitely be a knitted jumper, they are readily available in most retailers or on the internet, or if you can't find one simply choose the next size above from your usual size. There are many designs of jumper available, but opt for a chunky or cable knit and you'll be well on your way to joining the oversize fashion trend. Always opt for wool if you can, as knitted wool instantly looks bigger and warmer and adds to the style, if your budget allows, try and find a 100 percent wool, hand knitted jumper as the quality and detail are superior compared with the standard knit, if you have a restricted budget then opt for a wool and acrylic mix.
Once you have the feel for over sizing, you can start to look at other clothes in your wardrobe, coats are a great way to oversize and the options are limitless, basically look for a coat that has a long length.
Trousers and jeans are a great pick, try and avoid slim and skinny fit and look for oversized styles, rather than opting for a larger waist size, there are plenty to choose from, the general rule is to choose a relax comfortable fit, but the waist size should be correct for you without the need for you to wear a belt.
With shirts, feel free to opt for a larger size, maybe one size up from your normal, choose thicker materials and remember the look is relaxed and comfortable, rather than being swamped in your clothes, don't go too big! A great way to acquire the look is by choosing a shirt that fits comfortably but with larger sized collars.
T Shirts sometimes known as men's sleepers, are also fashionable, which is basically an oversized t-shirt, originally worn as a night shirt instead of pajamas.
As with any outfit, accessories can complete the look adding style and individualism, chunky knit scarves worn loosely around your neck or even snoods are a great buy to give the relaxed comfortable look. Oversized beanies are available in most retail outlets and are a great way to complete the look.
