What to do, such a season: everywhere you look, fashion experts and stylists advise every autumn (and summer, spring and winter) to “spice up” the look with oversized jackets. But what to hide, we also often sin with this fashion hack – really the most basic combination, for example with a black turtleneck and matching jeans, can be easily spiced up with an accent jacket. Thanks to the volume, it quickly puts the look in order, harmonizes the proportions and adds “air”. And masculine rough lines emphasize femininity, and you can wear tight sweaters with such jackets … There are many, many pluses.
And there are many “buts”. If you miss the choice, the jacket can spoil your whole idea: raise the shoulders, break the proportions of the figure, break the palette of clothes, break the game of prints and textures and simply reduce the cost of the image.
So this thing may be miraculous, but rather problematic if you don’t take into account a few important details. To save nerves and wallet, turn to a specialist – British stylist Lydia Tomlinsson, who identified 3 main mistakes that can be made when choosing an oversized jacket.
- Too many layers. With jackets and blazers, golf looks great, shirts, shirts and tops and under that a t-shirt, sweater are “safe” options. If you want to play around with layering, choose the simplest textures, otherwise you’ll end up with an overloaded file. And the sleeves still run the risk of becoming a stake – it’s not pleasant enough.
- The shade of the jacket is “knocked out” from the overall palette. A bright blue or green blazer may look fresh, but is it suitable for everyday wear? To definitely get a decent smart-casual look, repeat the shade of your jacket in another element – shoes, pants, bag.
- Choose suitable jacket styles. Oversized is combined with an oversized or just a relaxed silhouette. A blouse that restricts movement and barely overlaps the belt line does not go well with an oversized jacket. That’s why we keep harmony in everything – notice how bloggers combine men’s shoulder jackets with knitted vests, leather shirts and sweaters. This is a “working” and easy way to beat an oversized jacket outfit!
