[@justinenglish_5750]

As a petite romantic I hate oversized clothes with each and every cells in my body. I love it on other people and admire people who can pull off this style but on me it doesn't suit me at all. I look like I have gained 10 pounds. More than everything I hate the fact that in store they only sell long and oversized clothes. I agree with you, skinny or sleek pants will never disappear because first they became basics and secondly they are very practical. Who wants long and large pants falling on the ground catching the dust, the water, etc. Finally, they do not hide shoes!

[@thepanda9782]

Agree as a TR, I literally have cried it's so frustrating to find clothes right now. I recently bought a hand-made jacket online & gave them my measurements & it still is oversized. Now I have to take my $300 jacket to a tailor for MAJOR revisions (sleeve, waist, total length, collar size, and shoulder all need to be made smaller). I cant even find clothes on Etsy that are tailored for curve.

[@nataliah4478]

same as a petite SC - no clothes have ever been so unfriendly to the hourglass shape. Everything basically looks the same size as your boobs, and as a petite that turns you into a blob.

[@tinachristoxo]

I am somewhere around Soft Dramatic and about 5ft9. And I also despise long flowing lines and oversized items on myself as I feel as though I have gained 10 pounds.

[@Luisa_san]

Today I am really early here haha I have always wondered why I look terrible with oversized clothes while some people look so cool but as a TR it is a bit difficult to find trendy things that follow those lines

[@julieme7927]

This confirms that I'm soft dramatic. Oversized looks so bad on me. I can only wear sweaters if they're fitted or if they have a ribbed bottom that fits properly.

[@cherrydisaster2360]

Fellow SD and I agree! Like, oversized really just isn't it for our body type. I do the same thing with sweaters: been buying them only if they're more fitted and it's been a game changer!

[@Tashax405]

I'm also a SD - I feel like I can get away with one oversized item if the rest of the outfit it fitted and if the oversized item is somewhat 'elegant' in style rather than slouchy. This current trend for oversized on the top and bottom looks terrible on me though. I think the point about looking for fitted wrists is good, I've always felt bat wing sleeves suit me well which is kind of an oversized look. Also long cardi's worn open with a fitted top or dress underneath.

[@nonamenonumber-jx4xo]

I always end up looking bulky and fat in Hoodies, sweatshirts and Sweatpants. It makes sense now.

[@tinachristoxo]

I agree too! Couldn't pin myself between FN and SD but each time Aly mentions which silhouettes look better on which, I kmow right away 🤣

[@prongs4137]

Please do androgynous/masculins clothing for all body types. Also patterns! Which are best for which. Plaid or houndstooth or chequered or flowers or tiny prints or lines of small font words or chunky blocks of phrases/words and clever sayings...

[@Flippinger]

She has a video about patterns.

[@ZwarteKonijn]

I'm flamboyant natural, and I definitely agree oversized clothes are a must in my wardrobe. What I use as day to day guideline for oversized clothing is slim-wide; like either the top is oversized and the pants are slim, or the pants are wide and the top is slim. Like I love to wear a short haltertop with cargo pants, or a very large t-shirt or a oversized hoodie with skinny jeans (or a skirt or cut off mini shorts), generally combined with my combat boots or high top sneakers. Or one of my favorite summer outfits is a long, wide, flowy skirt, with a wide belt, and a cute cropped top. It usually works well for the vertical line. Also I get a lot of my oversized tops from the men's section, a lot of men's clothes have lines that fits FN very well, and sometimes better than women's clothing.

[@silynita]

This explains why men's clothing looks good on me. Also why do the men's clothes looks more high quality than women's clothes in the same price range?

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Mmmhmmm. Probably 80% of my wardrobe (also an FN) is menswear. Even my sweats are from the men’s department. I never buy women’s t-shirts. I find even the button up tops I do buy in the women’s department are “boyfriend” cut. Basically, I need a lot of long rectangles that I can size up or down depending on the drape I want it to have and that’s all but a mission impossible in the women’s department 😂.

[@catherinemooreland9336]

I’m a very slim soft dramatic (think Ava Gardner) and I can pull off a chic edgy aesthetic with oversized coats very well as long as the proportions aren’t too exaggerated. Think medium-chunky boots, high-waisted skinny jeans/leggings or high-waisted straight-leg pants, a decently fitted top and an oversized coat cinched in at the waist with a belt or worn open if without. It’s one of my most flattering everyday looks and can be dressed up or down by swapping out different pieces and materials.

[@starburst9053]

This is so timely for me! 😅 I love oversized but I know it's not my best look (soft classic)

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

No matter how hard the fashion world tries people are now free to choose what they personally identify with. So many different aesthetics we can legit go romantic or academic or grunge or classic all hundreds of “looks” are totally in now.

[@ecbalmer]

Probably has a lot to do with the overwhelming need for us to recycle old clothing and keep vintage circulating

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

@@ecbalmer I have always been a Romantic Goth and have always know it, before I knew the words for it I knew exactly the way I would present. However I have always given a slight nod to the prevailing fashion, so I like to “know” exactly what and where that is.

[@Beading_Kate]

I would like to add that you don’t necessarily have to wear oversized clothes to be in this oversize trend. Oversize can translate through details and accessories. For example: it could be oversized pockets, collars or sleeves; oversized prints; buttons could be larger than normal; it could be a handbag that gives oversize feeling (large and maybe a bit soft/slouchy/drapey look, less structured and stiff); huge scrunchie hairties, puffy hair bands; large earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces; sunglasses; even a scarf can give that oversize touch to the outfit which is needed.

[@lucklessluce557]

Good point!

[@leriava]

Great idea!

[@lapetitepoire5]

I'm a petite Soft Classic and I can't pull off anything oversized. It just looks sloppy on me and doesn't give the effect that I'm looking for at all. I look for classic timeless pieces that are impeccably tailored, paying a little extra for tailoring if need be. They definitely are harder to find these days and they cost more, but I opt for quality over quantity in my wardrobe and end up with items I wear forever.

[@Flippinger]

Same here, petite and SC. Oversized doesn't work for me at all. I agree, tailored is not easy to find, and when you're, in addition, trying to find something for petite and in your colours it gets even harder.

[@esmeralda3858]

Your experience matches mine as a fellow petite Soft Classic. I feel dumpy and swamped in oversized clothes. I've made my mistakes, and I've realised that there's no point having them. It makes shopping very frustrating, but I'd rather have less clothes than wear something I don't look or feel right in. Aly Art is trying to help us (and I appreciate her efforts given the limits of current fashions), but I won't be wearing anything she's suggested. The shops have very little for us. I generally find that vintage clothing is the best in fit and quality for classics. I don't care if I'm not in fashion.

[@isabellelam9606]

super petite SC and my so called oversized clothes is a sweater with drop shoulder and I would roll up the sleeves to show my wrist. Bottom has to be well fitted pants. These days I have learnt that I should save the money to amend the clothes I buy from the online stores rather than getting a lot of clothes from the online stores and try to see if anything fits (cuz 9 out of ten times there must be something not well fitted).

[@minervarose7664]

Omg me too! I am a petite (5ft) SC. While tailored pieces are great for office and formal wear, casual looks often tend to focus on oversized/ loose clothing (baggy pants and t shirts, flowy shirts, peasant style skirts, shirt dresses with no waist emphasis etc). So copying what i saw everyone else wearing, i too used to dress this way for casual occasions - however, rather than the effortless, cute look i was going for, i ended up looking frumpy, even shorter than i was, chubby (though am not at all overweight) and like i was wearing someone else's borrowed clothes! I have since realized that even my casual looks need a bit of definition. This doesn't mean having to wear sheath dresses and pencil skirts all the time. It can be as simple as tucking in my t shirt/ blouse into my jeans, adding a belt to a loose shirt dress or swapping a long, flowy shapeless skirt for a pleated/ A-line skirt that ends just below the knees.

[@hiannahgus574]

@@isabellelam9606 Another option is to find a brand which fits you well. For example, Talbots 6 petite fits me perfectly. No tailoring needed. Of course, I will still tailor some of my vintage pieces, if need be.

[@katyasehryn8810]

As an FN I'm now very tempted to rock more oversized pieces and be eternally cozy 🤣

[@hudinacn]

This is perfect hair and makeup for you, Aly!

[@ArtisticGym]

Soft natural here, the dropped shoulder/ open neckline/ boxy, loose fit tops have been a game changer for me. Once I understood I was SN, I understood why a regular t-shirt in my normal size doesn't work on me. Now when I have to wear a t-shirt for work or whatever, I order a couple sizes up, roll the sleeves and front tuck into some high-waisted jeans. Perfect. On lazy days I grab my over sized, cropped sweater and leggings.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

What? I'm also Soft Natural and it's the complete opposite for me! 😅 Dropped shoulders and bulky sleeves look horrible on me... I don't like oversized in general, but it also doesn't serve me particularly... It makes me look bulky and I don't want that. I must say I'm fan of the clean and tidy classic lines and I try to incorporate the classic wardrobe as much as I can! 😊

[@di3486]

On point. Nobody guesses that a t-shirt on my size (small) won’t fit because of the shoulders/back. Dropped shoulders are really awesome for us😁 even if more fitted style would work, I hate looking like I am trying to fit into junior sizes and I look like a potato sack😖

[@virginiamontaldo440]

@@Analysis_Paralysis Soft Natural is a fairly broad category (especially since pure Natural was cancelled and many middle-of-the-road women were reclassified as SN). There are SNs who are closer to pure N and others who have a strong R undercurrent. The stronger the R undercurrent is, and the more hip heavy versus top heavy you are, the less likely bulky t-shirts work on you. I am SN and that S is pretty strong in me, so the bulkiness, while not as horrible as it would be in a Romantic or in a Soft Gamine, is not ideal.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

@@virginiamontaldo440 Yes, precisely! I have to add, though, I later remembered I did have a short coat that had sleeves that got bulkier towards the end, but the sleeves were cut midway and displayed my underarms... So, I kind of was able to wear it because the rest of the coat, apart from the wide sleeves, was more fitted and had a belt, and the sleeves were not so long, one would see my underarms and wrists. Maybe that was the reason I could wear it?! So, Aly is right, the item must be tailored in a way that it shows off the wrists and the ankles, than maybe we could pull off some of the wider clothes, too! :)

[@virginiamontaldo440]

@@Analysis_Paralysis I think anther thing to consider is the material. I look good in wider but drapey things, like boho (and again, waist emphasis). Wool stuff should be okay too since it is a very 'soft' and 'natural' fabric, it can be thick but it's still pliable and a bit clingey, and gives very earthy/cute vibes. But stiff materials should be avoided IMO.

[@andyqv-goodvibes1900]

I used to think oversized would look bad on me but have been finding that it actually works amazing on me if its cropped and of a thicker material or if its like a mens shirt that becomes a dress and tights kind of vibes. I think I am flamboyant gamine and this video seems to support that since youre sayng oversized works for them quite naturally

[@nikkijones9713]

Held my breath for a second there when you said gamines would look "hor..." Like you were about to say "horrible" but then remembered where I am and that you are always very kind and respectful about people's clothing choices, even if it doesn't really suit them. I think "horizontal" is such a great way to get this idea across, wider than you are tall. Perfect! Excellent video, thank you!! Also... flamboyant natural here, notorious for stealing my man's clothes without really having to alter them too much. Just tuck it in and gooooo hahaha!!

[@Just_Kirsty]

I'm glad you made this video. I once heard a stylist say "dropped shoulders flatter nobody" and I immediately thought "Well, I feel like it looks quite flattering on me", and I love wearing a dropped shoulder shirt. I'm a Soft Natural and love playing around with oversized blouses and shirts (in lighter fabrics) and also love the different ways to style/wear them. I usually roll up the sleeves or tuck it in my pants (often times combined with twisting the front) and feel like that flatters me a lot. Also: there are a lot of shirts and blouses that ARE oversized and have a dropped shoulder but still have tight cuffs and that balances the shape a lot imho. What I don't like wearing is stiff curdoroy and heavy denim (both in jackets) because it does what you described, it drags me down, it looks stiff and immobile on me. While a denim-viscose blend and those very soft curdoroy fabrics work great. It's all about the nuances for me. I own a cardigan which is designed very unstructured and oversized (with slender underarms though) and has a softly draping collar. If the fabric wasn't so lightweight and flowy, I wouldn't be able to pull it off but the fabric IS super soft, flowy and lightweight, so it drapes and flows very nicely and adds a relaxed yet edgy touch to my outfits. I love clothes like that and would probably never figured that out if I hadn't found my body type. I always thought I need to wear more tailored pieces with lots of structure to them. Well, I was quite wrong about that... my wardrobe changed a lot during the past few years and I'm really happy about that. It's not only more flattering on me but also way more comfortable. Fun thing is: My mom always told me what would look best on me, but I never wanted to believe her. It all makes sense now.

I think this is where I fall too, I've come to accept that I just look better with structure but I've found ways to wear looser fitting clothing but when it's shapely. Like oversized button down shirts are great if you can tuck them in. But I agree, wearing anything soft and loose makes me look enormous! I look like I'm 50lbs heavier!

Great review!!!!! Drop shoulders and boxy fit have become the norm for so many tops and they are the bain of my existence! I'm 5'3" and a soft classic. I have very narrow everything but in average proportions throughout. If I wear any boxy top especially if it has drop shoulders, I look like I'm wearing slouchy oversized clothes. Even in petite xs. Ew! I have taken to buying children's sized tops to get a more classic fit for my frame. So, no, I won't be jumping on the oversized trend! 🤣

[@kind_of_willow3193]

It' s not only a question of the bodytype, i think. I am probably natural or flamboyant natural, with long limps, but with a little bit thicker belly region. So, i prefere oversized on top and narrow at the bottom without any waist emphasis.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

did I miss the part where she said her body type? I never know about this kibbe body type

[@ritaweygint4038]

Flamboyant Gamine, and I can pull off oversized IF I keep the oversized piece either on top, or the bottom; Not both, unless something’s cropped. I love the oversized looks, but I am so petite… can look like a kid dressing up in men’s clothes LOL! Kind of a cool look come to think of it!

[@frankievalentine6112]

I just look at it and think "we all went through this phase already when we were teenagers, then we learned how to wear clothes that fit." But of course they're catering to the teenagers today! We're all easily marketed to hide behind bulky layers before we're comfortable with our bodies I guess! But honestly a few things I did like, that I didn't get to wear the first time around. Annie Hall-style loose blazers for instance are good for gamines if they fit your shoulders. I'm never wearing wide leg pants again in my life though.

[@di3486]

Thank you for reminding that SN waist emphasis should be BARELY there. I love loose tops because they really do that perfect balance between showing where the waist is without putting too much emphasis.

[@rosalinddavies8466]

Vintage oversized is good relaxed but stylish

[@britsticher8889]

I'm SD I've noticed on myself and other SD that we tend to be quite narrow and hollow in the upper chest area. If you drew a line above the bust armpit to armpit, this line would be quite narrow. Plus if in side or 3/4 profile if you drew a line from bust to shoulder the upper chest would be significantly below this line. I find excess bulk in this area looks awful but if you can have a bit of structure there over sized pieces can work.

I actually feel like oversized looks better on me when they don't look too too long. I can wear everything oversized but not if it's hanging on the ground or if it's the combination of soft fabric with soft fabric, I need structure like some sort of tailoring or some fited piece, stiff fabric. I thought I was a pure G, but I think I'm a FG (just very petite) my body is similar to Zoe Kravitz, height and muscle, but my face it's very young looking, my essence is totally different from hers. So I like the shapes she goes for when it come to oversized clothing but I go for a different color palette over all.

You are a fountain of knowledge and everything you say confirms my experiences. I'm a Theatrical Romantic who is a very short (160 cm) and very wide hourglass shape with extremely short torso, giant boobs, short arms and legs and a prominent bum...I always dreaded oversize anything, as it made me look as if I was wearing a tent. On the other side, slim fitting clothes are not always the most comfortable. Nowadays I have a few big, bulky, flowy cable knit sweaters for the harsh winters and also a very loose fitting jean jacket (I refashioned it from a men's one) which I pair with slim pants and combat boots (chunky footwear looks proportionate on my large calves.) It looks fine. Balance is everything.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

I’m an FN. I live in oversized clothes. I have very few pieces that are fitted. I do tend to balance out the outfit with either the top or the bottom having more structure or classic lines/fabrics. Like, if my top is really flowy, my pants will still be loose but they will be of a stiffer fabric with a defined pleat down the front or maybe a straight leg jean (not tight fitting but not overly baggy). I find the long vertical line is the key for me. I cannot do cropped tops unless there is a longer layer underneath it that is the same tone as the bottoms. I also have a bit of classic in my essence so I have to give a nod to that in the cut or the fabric somewhere in the outfit and I find I need something bold and dramatic, even if it’s just my hair or an accessory. But, ya. Oversized is my happy place for sure.

[@Allesea159]

I'm sorry but I disagree on layering always being oversized. I layer a lot, but since oversized is a big nono for me, so none of my garments are oversized. They're not tight either, they're in the middle. I love wearing structured corduroy jackets that end just below my waist over t-shirts and wearing flared jeans with them. Nothing oversized, nothing very sleek or tight either. All medium in how they fit. Layering CAN be oversized, but it's not oversized PER SE.

[@pinkroses135]

Anything other than a tucked in flowy blouse just doesn't work for me. That waist emphasis is crucial.

[@valerydiane20]

I'm not sure if I am flamboyant gamine or dramatic classic. I just know that I look better with cropped tops and slightly cropped bottoms. I also look better with some structure on the shoulders if I wear more oversized skirts or trousers. Mom jeans work really well on me especially with a belt and some oversized blouse. I'm petite with rectangle shape. Any guess about my body type?

It’s only one item i’m wearing (usually outerwear) that’s oversized and everything else is properly fitted. for example, a long oversized jacket paired with a mini skirt and tee that defines my curves. all i really have to change depending on whether im going for fancy/edgy is the colors. i do the “cropped/narrow” advice you’ve given already although i didn’t know there was a term for it.

I'm Romantic Body Type and I have a Coat that is very much overzised - I love it, it's my favourite, and I have a lots of Coats, cause I love Coats. The Coat is very soft, but warm (wool I think), has a soft belt and I use it to make wais emphasis, also it is narrower at the bottom, has wide Sleeves, but they are closer on the wrist. I have not thought that it will look good on me first, but I guess now I know why it does xD

I need a structured waist for the baggy look to work

[@polinka5621]

I don't dress according to my kibbe type because it is too structured and I definitely prefer comfort over look (I think I'm dramatic classic). Also I don't like clothes that accentuate my body shape. Best I can do is tucking t-shirt into my pants.

FG here, most of my clothes are unintentionally oversized 😅

Hi Aly! I think I am a dramatic classic and I love oversized sweaters but I don't like how I look in them 😥

[@allyb34]

Tyra banks looks awesome in the first oversized avoid look though(in my opinion),I think it’s because her line is still elongated thanks to the pants,whereas in the Sofia picture,the pants cut her off and make her look bulky.

I’m a theatrical romantic, and it’s completely not my thing, oversize. I look like I’m wearing a tent, even if it’s just a shirt. And one important thing: I have not squarish but very triangular and small shoulders. Long neck and shoulders going down. And if wearing oversize, this effect pops even more, like I don’t have shoulders at all. Looks weird😅, imagine a wine bottle and my head on the top. Or a goose)) I would say)) if you have dropped shoulders, don’t wear oversize, no matter what body type you are)) you should wear fitted tops to emphasize your shape, or wear tops with squarish shoulders, it’s beautiful if you have a long neck, but still fitted, not unconstructed❤

[@Stayengenemoacaratsetter]

Oversized looks good only on those who have wide shoulders, narrower hips, and in XS-M size ranges. As a soft dramatic, white bigger bust, narrow bones, and narrow shoulders I look bad in oversized tops and jackets.

It’s just being a fashion victim just because something is popular. It doesn’t mean you have to do it over size clothes, shaving off your eyebrows, wearing a lip ring all the stuff that is deeply unflattering to most women.

[@velmavlogs7693]

I’m a fat Romantic and haven’t suited a single trend since about 1968.

[@liacastrobugliossi8792]

I'm a theatrical romantic, totally agree with you! Best thing for us in the romantic family is usually stick to what already works, no trends.

[@samk2377]

I think the natural body types and styles have been trending for a while.. So the styles that suit those influencers have also been trending

[@virginiamontaldo440]

It's impossible to have a perfect individual fit with mass made online shop clothes so the oversize trend (which benefits the N family and especially FN) is in.

I'm 165 cm tall, still haven't figured out my Kibbe ID. All I know is anything ovesized looks horrible on me, dropped sholders = I look wider than I actually am. Even straight jeans swallow me... Going shopping is a nightmare these days with the ovesized trends...😂

[@Rocky-ry6uw]

There was this grunge look I think in the 90's with hugely baggy low slung jeans and big jackets like they were hiding themselves anc did nothing for their figure. Usually at a young age most people look their best figure wise and I couldn't understand why that trend became so popular as it looked like one was wearing 3-5 sizes bigger than they were.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

I think it's different from the grunge look! The grunge look was relaxed, but not over the top bulky. This bulky trend is super weird to me. It makes the impression of nouveau riche. The oversized trend is supposed to look expensive, not relaxed. Most rich and wannabe rich influencers like to wear oversized and that's exactly why I hate it. It's too pretentious for me... ☹

[@Rocky-ry6uw]

I wish we could add a photo as it may not been called grunge but it was during that time where the clothes hugely baggy and dragged with the hem. It was a very oversized look that it was not complementary in the least.

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

@@Rocky-ry6uw I think the baggy look was the hip-hopper's look, not just in the 90s, but also still in the 2000s. :) Not sure when they went from baggy to slim, probably in the 2010s? But you're right, some of the grunge clothing (thrift clothing) did look unfitted. Like the cardigans and stuff! 😊

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

Some people dress to make their body look its best, subjectively speaking. Other people dress without aiming to flatter their figure because they are more interested in comfort, self-expression, etc. Some people are between the two.

[@ElenaWIP]

Soft gamine here, a friend got me an oversized jacket as a present and I just CAN'T style it. I look like a child in one of those "coats" we got in kindergarten to keep our clothes clean 🤦‍♀️

[@silviacosta9164]

In the 80s we wore a lot of oversized clothes and there was no online shopping! Not even internet😂. Trends in fashion are always back.

[@RavennaRamos]

This was my comment as well, oversized clothing is back simply by virtue of the 30-40 year (American) fashion cycle, and we’re presently in the ‘90s oversized trend

[@FeelinErie]

Soft Natural here at 5ft 7 - whenever I wear oversized tops, I look like a circus tent. i've also got boobs, so like Aly said, it makes me look even bigger than I am. So I'm going to try to do something like a little French tuck or that blosson effect to tops I wear.

[@mickey1193]

You sound more like a Soft Dramatic to me 😊

[@FeelinErie]

@@mickey1193 I kept flitting between SN, SD & FN for the longest time. I eliminated FN, because when buying clothes, I shop in the regular section, because the tall section is definitely about 2 inches too long for me. I also look swamped in just baggy baggy everywhere. With SD, I didn’t really identify with the glam look (evening wear is different), and it seemed like a lot of the outfits there had strong waist emphasis. Currently, my waist is my problem area (the first obvious place to expand when I gain weight). May I ask what makes you say I’m a SD?

[@Analysis_Paralysis]

@@FeelinErie Maybe you're a Dramatic Classic? I'm also Soft Natural and I definitely relate to this! Bulky is the worst look for me! Even fitted doesn't look as bad as bulky! I despise the oversized trend... 😖
