Just like with pretty much everything, there is a right way and a wrong way to style oversized t-shirts.

However, you can still rock your fave large t-shirt and look amazing while doing it! Here’s how to wear oversized shirts the right way!

Tuck the Front into Your Jeans for a Classic Look Here is a classic spin on wearing oversized tee shirts, but it looks great on nearly everyone! For this look, don’t reach for a top that is 3-4 sizes too big. Instead, just go up one size than what you normally wear. You’ll achieve a relaxed and casual vibe without being swallowed up in the excess material.

Grab Some Scissors and Get Fancy with a Few Simple Cuts

Grab Some Scissors and Get Fancy with a Few Simple Cuts A pair of scissors can transform a giant top into something cute and super trendy! Here are a few ideas: Cut away the sleeves to more of a tank top style. Shape the neckline into a boat neck or an off-the-shoulder style. Cut fringe into the bottom of the tee (go as big as you want!) Try a high-low hemline!

Tie a Knot in Your Shirt for a Simple Look That Instantly Brings Style to Your Outfit I love the look of knotted tee shirts! You can go as oversized as you want here, it won’t matter! I like to play around with the placement of the knot. Try doing a side knot, middle knot or a back knot. You can also drop it down lower or pull it up higher to show some skin.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Convert Your Tee into a Cute Summer Dress

Convert Your Tee into a Cute Summer Dress The first thing to check is that your t-shirt is long enough to cover your bottom when you bend over! If you’re covered in that department (no pun intended!) then you can start working on the style aspects. Use your scissors here to snip away at sleeves, necklines, etc. to create the shape you want. Then add a belt and some cute heels and bangles and you’ll have a breezy, sexy, party-ready outfit!

Add Some Jewelry for a Little Bit of Flair

Add Some Jewelry for a Little Bit of Flair Statement necklaces can dress up any piece of clothing! A plain, white, loose-fitting tee can go from lounging around the house to office-appropriate if you wear the right jewelry and add a jacket or a belt! Never underestimate the power of simplicity!

Oversized t-shirts can be intimidating, but once you learn how to rock them and still look sexy you may never want to wear a fitted tee again! Tighter isn’t always sexier, or the best option. If you’re going for a relaxed and chic vibe, you definitely want to pull out an oversized tee and style it to fit your taste! Which of my tips do you like the best?

Nope, as a curvy petite girl big loose things like this only come out when it's super hot for me - and only at home!

Most of these styles only work for short girls!

Again more skinny models so good to be true !

Cute summer dress🙌🏽

@SK-ll and @Manuela Abreu are right. Most of these styles don't work on most women. If you're average height or curvier, the shirt won't have the same look. Please show us some diversity.
