K-Fashion Trend: Oversize Fit

Oversized clothing is a very unisex style that incorporates loose, baggier clothes that envelope your silhouette. It has become a trend that began in the ‘90s and has continued to grow in popularity, especially from the influence of hip-hop culture and streetwear. Not only can they be a statement piece, oversized clothes can be easily incorporated into a variety of outfits.  As they are comfortable and easy to wear, oversized is a good choice for casual daily wear. Let's take a look at different K-celebrities to see popular ways to style oversize clothes.

Oversize on Oversize

The most common way that oversize clothing style is seen is with both a loose top and bottom. This can be seen with an oversized top that is paired with wide legged jeans or shorts or even a baggy jogger to match the loose feel of the oversized top. Mino from WINNER can be seen often wearing this combination. A casual outfit often seen for girls is an oversized T-shirt or sweater that is paired with a long seen on Dahyun from TWICE for a daily look that is comfy and cute. 

Oversize meets Fitted

One way to create a statement look with your oversize piece is pairing it with a tight pant or top. The different sizes of fabric adds a unique contrast to the look. Having an oversized sweater or top with tight pants or a skirt for a more feminine look is a simple and easy style to wear that can vary from casual to chic. Members of Red Velvet, Yeri and Joy, can be seen frequently showcasing this look.

Oversize Jackets

Another piece that is often seen for oversize fashion is the oversized jacket. It quickly becomes the main point of your look but not only can it be fashionable, an oversized jacket is perfect for anyone as you can layer underneath, making it functional for even the coldest of days. Sunmi can be seen layering an oversized jacket over the whole look and Yugyeom of GOT7 is another example that can be seen styling this look. 

What makes oversize special is how it has broken into the fashion industry even though it’s main focus is comfort for the person wearing it, and has brought a trend for wearing airy and baggier clothes to everyday casual styles.
