HOW TO STYLE OVERSIZED SHIRTS
An oversized shirt can be paired with so many pieces and styled in so many ways it is actually crazy! It is probably one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe!
These are the best ways to style your oversized shirt:
1- All tucked in;
2- Only buttoned the middle buttons and tucking only one of the sides of the shirt;
3- Tuck only in the front;
4- Using the shirt as a lightweight jacket – Pair it with a cropped and tight top underneath;
5- The “relaxed way” not tucked;
6- Belted;
7- Tied in the front;
8- Tied in the back.
1-All tucked in
Wearing your oversized shirt all tucked in is the “normal” way of styling it. It is for sure a classic way. However, because you can do so much more with it, seems to be the most basic form of styling.
In case you intend to wear your shirt in a formal environment, this style, just as is styled in the fashion blogger Lydia looks perfect.
If you want to spice up this style, for more casual wear, you should definitely unbutton some buttons and show your shoulder, it will make your outfit overall much more sexy and stylish.

2- Partial unbuttoned and one-side tucked in the front
This form of styling your oversized shirt is so relaxed and effortless, we love it! As always, the Instagrammer Matilda rocked this look.
By only buttoned the middle buttons you allow some coverage that is buildable depending on how much you want to show, and a super relaxed yet sexy look.
The one-side tuck is definitely a bonus stylish element that we feel definitely adds to the overall look.
Finally and for better replication of this way of styling we recommend you to, just like is shown in the picture, leave unbuttoned the shirt cuffs for an even more slouchy vibe.
3- Tuck only in the front
Tucking your shirt only in the front will give you the ability to show your figure without missing the oversized and casual vibe that you want to achieve when you wear an oversized item.
This is for sure the easiest style to adjust since it is perfect for someone that is not comfortable with wearing oversized clothing items.
Definitely an in-between style, you get the fitted as well as the oversized trend all in one in a matter of seconds. We love it.

4- Using the shirt as a lightweight jacket
You know when it is a little bit cold outside but not enough to be wearing a jacket? Oversized shirts are perfect for that time.
They are super lightweight and flowy giving you the warmth you need in these situations. Definitely, try this look, you will not regret it! Plus it is one of the go-to looks of Victoria’s Secret model Elsa Hosk! She absolutely rocks it!
Another great way to make the most of your oversized shirt is by wearing it like this as a beach cover-up! Such a classic.
5- The “relaxed way”
This is, for sure, one of the most relaxed styles you can archive when you style your oversized shirt. It is pretty self-explanatory.
The biggest aspect that you should be aware of when styling your shirt like this is the quality/fabric of the shirt. For this look, we feel like it is best to use a thick structured shirt like the one worn by the one and only Instagrammer Emelie, also known as Emitaz.
Also, don’t do all the buttons! That will give the overall look a nerdy vibe and that is not really the look we want to achieve here.
6- Belted as a dress
Another great way to style your oversized shirt is by belting it transforming a simple oversized shirt into a super cute dress.
This styling tip is perfect if you want to ditch your jeans and just be pantless. Who doesn’t love that idea?
Once again Hannas has the perfect fit to illustrate a belted shirt dress look. Such a classic outfit.
7- Tied in the front
This styling technique is such a classic 00’s look! We love the sexy and flirty vibe that a front-tied shirt can give to your overall outfit.
Shea Marie’s look is definitely a perfect representation of how cool this way of wearing your oversized shirt is!
Do you know how to perfectly tie your shirt?
– How To Tie a Shirt
Knowing how to tie a shirt is one of the main life-changing steps for successfully styling an oversized shirt. It is not only about what to pair it with but also how can you make a huge piece of fabric into a flattering and stylish clothing item.
Because we know that sometimes it’s not easy to achieve the perfect tie in a shirt we will teach you 5 simple steps that are the best way to tie a shirt.
1 – First, you will need to button only the third and the fourth button of your shirt;
2 – Then you will see that, because you buttoned the 3 and 4 buttons, you successfully divided your shirt into 2 parts. Instead of just tying both strings you will-
3- Put on the left part into the hole that is between the third and the fourth button;
4- That step will create another hole then you put the right side into that hole;
5- Finally you just need to push it and you see that it creates the perfect tie into your shirt.
8- Tied in the back
If you thought that is only possible to tie your shirt in the front, you were wrong! You can also tie it up in the back transforming your oversized shirt into a crop top!
When styling your shirt like this we recommend you roll your sleeves a bit to better balance the proportions, just like the model Ashton did in her wonderful fit!
Also, another great tip when doing a tied in the back is to wear trousers/pants we feel like looks a lot better.
