How to Style Oversized Clothing and Still Look Chic | AD

[@phyllisjeanfulton]

I’m 78 in good condition and I love your ideas and styling. I’m so into it. Love the oversized and how it will or will not work. So comfortable and my granddaughter thinks I’m just ok to meet up with for a beer. 🤓🌺❤️

[@janicetrauzold7811]

This lady has style and knows how to show it in a understated way georgous

[@pilarguerrero12874]

I used to wear a lot of oversized pieces when I was a teenager. Now that I watch your video, I realized I wore them very stylishly. Interesting. I loved your video, and I totally agree with the end hem of oversized trousers. Much love!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

As a rather full rectangle, just in the normal weight category, but not thinner, I find that oversize garments rarely work for me. I agree the shoulder fit is the most important, and I can rarely find a cut that fits both my shoulders and the rest of my body. What gives with all the too-wide shoulders manufacturers are making lately recently? Mine are slightly wide, if anything, at one inch wider than my hips, but blazers always are huge there if I find one with roomy enough sleeves to move my arms and/or button up. Of course, alterations work, but taking in the shoulders of a blazer costs around $100 in the really expensive area where I live, and I find it’s just not worth it for the quality of blazer I can afford (Zara, H &M, Loft, etc.). Your good tips will help, I hope, meanwhile it’s knit, unlined blazers only for me.

Ciao Bella! I’m a very mature Kibbe Natural who wore oversized (men’s) shirts, sweaters, blazers, etc back in my college days (early ‘80’s). I love all of these looks and am grateful that at this advanced stage of life my preferred way of dressing is now “fashionable!” Thanks for all your wonderful videos. 💕👍🏻

[@starfishjennie]

Yes!!!

[@pipmitchell7059]

I'm probably late with this comment, but . . . the sixties/seventies solution to having one's flared pants as long as possible without destroying them was the angled hem. The front should barely make contact with the shoe, just short enough to not concertina, and the back should almost reach the ground but not quite. A bit of skill is required to make the hem on a slant, but not much.

[@VanCrane]

When you tie a knot with your shirt you can do it with your belt loop and so are the shirt fixed. I always wear a top under, but it shows not so much skin without 🤗

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Ooh thank you for the tip - love that and thank you for sharing! xx

[@melissan9199]

[@annette6090]

I never like to miss out!! 😊 x

[@heathervalentine8222]

What a sensational video!! I am fine boned and tend to veer away from oversized as I feel I get lost inside the clothes. I prefer structured and tailored clothes so I can be seen in them. Yet, I really liked the way you styled and explained the purpose of giving a sense of proportion with oversizing. Showing the neck, wrist, waist and creating the shape adds the interests. All the looks you showcased were lovely, but I really like what you did wih the button down shirts. I get it now.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

That was fun, thanks. You always give me a little spark of inspiration when I see your vids, and i usually go running to my closet right away, ha. Thank you.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Good pointers. I struggle with this at just 5 ft. Thanks for addressing the dragging hem issue - I hate when I see the fabric filthy from street grime.

[@garfield1935]

Aw best impression of air dancing tube man :) Adore the jumpers and nordgreen watch, great idea about the men's t-shirt. Just discovered your channel today and been ploughing through your videos. Was in a bit of a clutter slump but now feel so inspired. Thx!

Alyssa, that white shirt/pants combo with the tan accessories looked fabulous. Im going to try and recreate it this weekend over here in the UK. ☺️

So glad you liked it Janice thank you for watching! xx

[@attilathehen1555]

That was interesting. I avoid oversized clothing on my top half because I am an inverted triangle shape, but I love wearing loose trousers with fitted tops. Wide leg trousers make my feet look delicate, which they certainly are not!

[@misstickleeast268]

Love wearing oversized blazers, shirts and even t-shirt! I usually buy from the men's section for crew neck tees and I just raid my husband's closet for the blazers and shirts.

[@PamLeonard-xm8vr]

[@vivettegarciadeister2751]

Interesting... just as I am realizing that I changed one size (up) during quarantine. This was deliberate, mind you (happily changed from XS to S while gaining muscle mass). But yeah, will need to eventually thrift larger items.

Loved this video. I really admire your style. This particular video is one of my favs.

[@Zemmawesth]

Love it! Also, have you considered videos on skincare and makeup? You always look so amazingly natural and effortless. If you do, there is a Danish brand (just like organic basics) that does sustainable makeup. It’s called Miild. I don’t work for them or anything. Just a very happy customer, who also tries to live minimalistic.

Your all black look was phenomenal, Alyssa! I really enjoy your channel, especially the styling tip videos.

[@Ivymoon]

I liked your advise for oversize blazers! my sister in law gave me some grey blazers and oversize shirts(she lodes weight, and I'm wearing sized 16 pants!and I'm sized 7 currently), I'll altered some pants with a Taylor, and other I'll cut as Bermuda sorts, like back @ 90's when I was a clerk at a company and studying back then, sounds great

[@marleneparker8702]

Thank you for this video. I have broad shoulders and a thick waist so oversized clothing is perfect for me.

[@MsBaby1959]

Oversized shirts are great!!! I must agree 😘

Excellent video sweetheart....Love the ideas....now off to the Good Will men's section...LOL...and in the summer here in Georgia, USA, billowy, let in air venting mechanism sure helps you stay cooler....LOL....love all your suggestions...Big Hugs

[@SmidBeach]

This is particularly helpful because I can't get to the seamstress right now. Being petite to begin with, I have to rock the oversized look for now. ;) I myself think camisoles work better than just a bra for the peekaboo factor, but it's good to be thinking about "under" garments with oversized clothes, anyway!

[@gigimcguane6047]

You are all class. I love your style.

[@JonathanCurtis]

Love the oversized shirts! I’ve been into the “boyfriend” fit for the last year or so, I’ve taken a few shirts from Michaels side of the closet 😂😂 I’m in the market for a black linen shirt this year and a thicker stiffer white cotton shirt.

[@bobbiodonnell4568]

Luckily my husband gave me several linen striped men's button downs. They are so special as they were purchased in Positano Italy. Long and somewhat big but will try tucking in; hope that it doesn't feel like I am wearing a diaper:) Thanks for the inspirations!

[@melanieandrews7832]

Hi Alyssa. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the tip on tucking in the oversize shirt so that it does not look bulky.

I love the oversized men’s shirt style, but for some reason, the look doesn’t flatter me. I keep thinking it’s my undercut and thus need a feminine top to balance it. But hope on, hope ever, will try again with collar up and unbuttoning for V Shape. Thanks for more great styling tips... in midweek, no less. Ciao, Bella!

Thanks so much for watching Karen - try dangly earrings too! Have a great end of the week! xx

I never tried wearing oversized shirts but I gave them away when I bought one by mistake... makes me think maybe I could try those? I just started wearing oversized blazers cuz they are so in since last year!

Its hard for me to do It! Im 5 ft 1 and I dont like how I look in oversize clothes! You look great!!!🌹

Me too. It’s hard to make oversized items look stylish on our small bodies. I do enjoy my cashmere sweaters oversized with leggings for cold days spent at home though.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you for watching Somani!

[@soniabutler6280]

Brilliant and inspirational as ever. I love wearing my late sons clothes and have made some of his trousers into shorts for day to day wear. Usually I make sure im only wearing one masculine piece, and put it with, or accessorise with a more feminine feel. It can feel playful and (forgetting the son reference) quite a sexy combo. I would slightly disagree re jackets. I have found a broader shoulder mans tweed jacket can be feminising as long as the rest of the outfit is snug and soft, and a tailored evening tux style can work well as a day jacket again with shorts or drapey trousers. As a rule though I'd agree that a good fit across the shoulders is important. I just love your style and imagination. Thanks for being there.

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

My condolences for your loss, and it's great you found a way to use his clothes.

Ha ha! I just got a slightly over sized sweater on sale (a medium, where I would have better fit a small) but I wanted it anyways even though it's a bit too big. And yes, the sleeves are so long (which is a rarity for me - I have long arms). Your comment about the flapping inflated advertisement men immediately brought this to my mind, ha! I honestly can't wait to wear it in the fall. I have the perfect slimming pants, shoes and bag for it.

[@SometimeAgo65]

This is great advice and you know I love your taste for fashion. It will help me a lotthough I'm def not that slim

[@katriina6831]

I've always hated summer clothes but last summer I found my personal summer uniform which is an oversized (men's) linen shirt, bike shorts and white canvas sneakers. I'm going to wear that all this summer too.

[@ginalowe9103]

I like your eye for style. I’m taking notes. I retire in 2 months and want to have a basic wardrobe as I currently have scrubs for work (I’m a nurse in the hospital)and items for cleaning my rental units when needed. Wanted some real clothes for wearing in public when not cleaning toilets or painting.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree, it’s just crazy wearing pants that drag on the ground; they get completely ruined in one wearing, they cuff uncomfortably under the heels of shoes, cause dangerous tripping and falling, nor do they look good in any way, they just look like one’s wearing someone else’s clothes. It’s 10X worse if they are also wide-legged. I think it is manufacturers promoting this look so that the can either not hem them, or not offer different lengths. I got really disgusted two or three years back when all the pants I ordered came in a ridiculous “regular” 36” inseam! This means cutting off 10” for me, ruining the shape of the pants’ legs. Even my very tallest friend finds these too long, clothes should be designed for the NON 6-foot-model majority! Yay for ankle jeans, finally a wearable length. I am not even that short, but close to 5’5”. It’s like those super-long and -wide sleeves a few years ago; I once wore a silk dress with those to a dinner, and was dismayed to discover it was served buffet style. Sure enough, I couldn’t keep the sleeves out of the serving dishes no matter what I tried; I offended other diners, ruined the expensive dress, and ended up going without dinner. What a waste. One thing I love about your videos, Alyssa, is that you address practicality and comfort, as well as style. Style for real women, who live real lives, thanks!

[@allyirvine7537]
