Easy and simple are always a good idea. A simple yet structured oversized shirt, poplin shirt or oxford shirt as some call it, paired with jeans, whether these are skinny jeans, bootcut jeans, baggy jeans, or mom jeans, you name them, equal the perfect relaxed look combo. You can dress this look up or down. You can wear an oversized shirt and jeans with sneakers, flats, ballerina or sandals for a casual look. You can add statement accessories such as minimal gold earrings or heels for a little extra sophistication if you want a more polished look. You can wear the oversized shirt loose or tucked in. on its own or open with a tee or a bodysuit underneath.
Depending on the weather you can take this one oversized shirt, wear it with jeans on its own, open with a tee and as a cover up with a bikini so one item equals three outfits. Isn’t that great? Oversized shirts are easy to wear but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. You can get your own or borrow your husband’s shirt, roll up the sleeves and voila there you go. The key is to have the right amount of oversized as you don’t want to overdo it and look sloppy. A monochromatic matching set is perfect, whether it’s a pant or shorts set, whether it’s linen or cotton or silk, the monochromatic looks is put together and will always make a statement.
Another favorite is a striped or print set make a great spring and summer combo to showcase a relaxed look featuring your favorite oversized shirt and pant combo of the moment. When in doubt opt for the traditional and easier combo, the jeans and oversized shirt. You can pop the collar or not, you can leave some buttons open, you can roll up the sleeves, you can tuck in half the front of the shirt for a relaxed, timeless, and chill look. In the cooler months, you can also wear a turtleneck underneath your oversized shirt, so the shirt acts as a jacket. Personally, for me the oversized shirt and jeans look makes me feel relaxed, polished, casual yet put together.
