The Oversized T-Shirt Trend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at DePauw chapter.

The trends from middle and high school, having every piece of clothing skin tight to your body, have passed. A baggy, oversized t-shirt used to not even be in a girl’s mind when throwing on an outfit, but today many college women wear this exact outfit every day. The oversized t-shirt paired with some running shorts or leggings is one of the most comfortable things you can throw together. Ordering large or X-large sizes are the way to achieve this look. 

Here’s why I love this trend. First, you never feel restricted in an oversized t-shirt. There’s so much room to move around, making it easier for you to stay comfortable for long periods of time. When you have class all day and then have to study, this is the perfect outfit. Another reason this trend is so great is that it doesn’t matter what you eat. You could eat an entire pizza and no one would know. On those days you’re not feeling the greatest or feeling bloated, an oversized t-shirt is the perfect way to go. This outfit can also be worn year-round, which is definitely a perk. For those hot days, wear the t-shirt and shorts combo and during the winter season pair a comfy sweatshirt with some leggings for the same comfort. So the next time you are wanting to lounge and stay comfy for hours, think about a baggy t-shirt!
