SheIn Ribbed Collar Curved Drop Hem Oversized T-Shirt

Standard t-shirts are year-round wardrobe staples, but oversized versions have been selling like hotcakes over the past few years. They are much larger, looser and longer than traditional tees, making them more comfortable. The fit should be oversized, but you likely won’t want it to look overly baggy. Anything too large can also make it difficult to move around comfortably.

The short sleeve length should stop at the elbow, and the overall length can be halfway down to the knees. If you want to wear a traditional t-shirt and have a baggy fit, you can order one that’s two or three sizes larger than usual; for the on-point look, order an oversized one.

Oversized t-shirts can also have long sleeves, but these can be hot in the spring and summertime. When it’s cooler, you can layer these shirts by adding a vest, sweater or jacket on top; add a long-sleeved top under short-sleeved styles.

These large tops pair well with slim-fitting pants like leggings and jeans, but you can also pair them with shorts. Many people tuck the oversized tops into their waistbands, but this could be uncomfortable depending on your preferences. The choice is up to you! There are no rules about wearing these shirts; you can also wear them with utility pants, skirts or even leotards. Many people also love sleeping in them.

Cotton t-shirts can be lightweight and breathable but don’t do as well in the wash. If you don’t want to worry about wrinkles and shrinking, shop for t-shirts made from polyester or blends with cotton and other fabrics like spandex for the stretch you need.

Most tees are sold in various sizes and colors, and you can also find cool graphic designs that feature bands, sports teams and butterflies. You can also choose ones that have cool designs like tie-dye or stripes on the sleeves.

• Fitted long-sleeved shirts look great under oversized tees.
• Oversized t-shirts fall well below the waistline, are large overall and add volume. If you don’t want that look, stick with regular sizes.
• All that extra fabric can engulf the body, but you can break things up if you’d like by picking one with a pattern or graphic.
• You can create the popular French tuck look by tucking only the front of the shirt into your pants or shorts.
• Always read the manufacturer’s washing instructions before laundering your oversized t-shirt. You must wash some only in cold water and line-dried; otherwise, they will shrink.
