This wasn’t something I’d always known. For a long time, I only wore “flattering fashion.” I dressed in A-line skirts, empire waist silhouettes… anything to help me fake an hourglass shape. Risky fashion trends of the moment were a no-no, ESPECIALLY the oversize look. While I definitely hid in baggy T-shirts in my teens, as a young woman I steered clear for fear of looking “frumpy” or “sloppy.” Thankfully, my love for fashion trends won out and I began experimenting with roomier designs, but not too often. Now that the oversize trend is in full swing, I decided to challenge myself to wear the baggy-chic look every day for a week. Wide leg crop pant by Melissa McCarthy ($26.70, Seven7); Uli leg wrap block heel ($15, Payless) Mesh T-shirt with dipped back and ruffles ($40, ASOS); studded faux leather flatforms ($27.90, Forever21) Track pant with poppers by Daisy Street ($35, ASOS); track sweatshirt with popper by Daisy Street ($34, ASOS); white sneakers ($10, Lefties) Split sleeve sporty dress by One One Three ($57, ASOS); fringe denim culottes ($150, Eloquii) T-fhirt with ruffle and ’90s team print ($40, ASOS); rigid crop flare jeans ($56, ASOS)
