The 10 Unique Ways to Style an Oversized Shirt

  1. Layer it under a satin lace slip dress

Classy yet sexy. This is the perfect combination to get that sexy but classy look. You can style an oversized satin shirt by layering it with another satin clothing item which is a lace slip dress or a night gowns. Go with a tonal look if you are looking for a more timeless vibe that can be worn every season. 

  1. Pair your striped shirt with a small plaid long dress

Who says you need to look boring with an oversized shirt? Unbutton a few of the top buttons and style the shirt off shoulder and layer it with a small plaid sleeveless long dress with statement details like the big buttons on the dress. Complete the look by adding a belt around the waist and pair the look with metallic strappy heels. 

  1. Fun and comfy

Go play with colours! This whole look screams summer. Pair your purple oversized shirt with a patterned green bottom and colourful crocheted bag. Complete the look with the trendy flip flop sandal. 

  1. Wear it with a statement skirt

Pair your staple oversized white shirt with a statement skirt to bring out the unique overall look. Complete the look with a black heeled boots and nice earrings with a white sunglasses for the tonal look.

  1. Streetwear style

 This look is perfect during the cold and wet season. Pair your oversized striped shirt with a streetwear raincoat in bright colour. Wear them with baggy short bottoms and a pair of matching boots as the raincoat to tie the whole look together. 

  1. Stripes on stripes

Double the shirts! You can wear the oversized shirt and tie another shirt on top of it. Use a strap to hold the second shirt over the first shirt. Pair them with unique sneakers and minimalist earrings. 

  1. Long skirts on top of denim pants

Another perfect outfit for the cold seasons. Wear your oversized shirt with a turtleneck inside and pair them with blue denim pants. Layer the bottom with long slit plaid skirts and complete the look with a pair of black loafers. 

  1. Pearl bra top over the shirt

Pearl bra top looks amazing on its own. But if you want to spruce up your oversized shirt, layer the pearl bra top over it! Pair them with a black skinny bottom and complete it with a  black strappy heeled sandal and accessorize with gold earrings and bracelet.

  1. Pair it with a denim overall

This is a very easy look to carry. Nothing can go wrong with denim overall. You can pair your favourite sheer shirt with a denim overall and match it with a red heeled loafer. Complete the look with minimalist gold accessories. 

  1. Sheer top over the shirt

Unbutton all the shirt buttons and put over a matching sheer top on it and pair it with a matching bottom. It won’t look too crazy or over the top if you go for a tonal look. I personally love this styling! It is unique and I believe it is easy to wear.
