As the coat season approaches, it\u2019s time to consider which model to choose for this autumn-winter. Back this year, the oversized cut is infiltrating wardrobes, particularly in outerwear. A piece that is both strong in character<\/strong>, trendy, but not so easy to wear. Indeed, the line between style and mishap is very thin. We reveal to you our tips for wearing an oversized coat suited to your body type<\/strong>, in a fashionable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oversized trend in fashion: between style and comfort <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fashion trends juggle between various cuts as the seasons change. While we have recently witnessed (with horror) the return of low-rise jeans, one cut seems to be investing wardrobes without ever straying too far: the oversized cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as the boyfriend cut<\/strong>, it is illustrated through various pieces in the wardrobe. What appeals about this cut is partly its \u201cimprovised style \/ borrowed from your boyfriend\u2019s closet\u201d vibe, but in reality, it\u2019s well thought out and especially very trendy. It is often associated with a small vintage touch<\/strong>, featuring sweatshirts with university names or a souvenir sweatshirt vibe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the aesthetic of the outfit itself, it\u2019s true that the main advantage of the oversized cut is that it offers us unmatched comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose the size of your women’s oversized coat ? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right coat is never an easy task. The mission: to find a trendy model that can be paired with various outfits, to be warm but not too bulky, while leaving space to wear a sweater without feeling suffocated…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of an oversized coat, the main issue is the length<\/strong>. Indeed, it must be wisely chosen so as not to make you look like a Minimoy wrapped in a duvet. An XXL coat only makes a Wow effect if it is well chosen. And let’s be honest, the misstep is quick with its volume, which can flatten your silhouette and thus not enhance you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an oversized coat? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An oversized coat, as its name suggests, plays on an oversized volume. This is mainly present at the shoulders, and depending on the model, also at your waist. Your silhouette is thus modified<\/strong>, and it\u2019s important to know how to create a nice balance to achieve a trendy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What length of coat to choose? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The positive aspect of the oversized coat is that it remains accessible to everyone<\/strong>, thanks to its many variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep a slender silhouette, it is advisable for petites to opt for an oversized coat that stops at the hips. Average-height silhouettes can venture into a length that reaches mid-thigh. Meanwhile, taller individuals can play with most lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, take into account your silhouette to accentuate or reshape it with the coat’s volume. A triangle silhouette, for example, could opt for an oversized jacket with voluminous shoulders. This is to create a more X-shaped silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the different variants of the oversized coat? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This season, we discover various styles of oversized coats in collections. From the classic trench to a leopard print version<\/a>, to polar bombers, every fashion style can find its XXL coat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create an outfit with an oversized coat? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The old money aesthetic, a new fashion trend that follows the Parisian style<\/a>, has among its key pieces the oversized coat, whether in an XXL blazer version or in a long wool coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece is complemented by a monochrome outfit with a minimalist spirit, featuring black patent loafers<\/a> by Prada worn with white knee-high socks, or chunky boots. As an accessory, the Chiquito bag by Jacquemus<\/a> becomes essential to all outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to wear the oversized trench coat? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Due to its volume, the oversized coat allows for other layers<\/strong>. You can thus combine a top, a V-neck sweater or a shirt jacket, then the coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oversized coat in faux fur<\/a> or bombers with fleece wraps us in a good dose of softness and comfort<\/strong>. It\u2019s possible to extend this cozy aspect to the rest of your outfit with flared pants in merino wool or mohair. And as a final touch, a pair of Uggs or Birkenstocks with thick socks inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being enchanted by pink hues<\/a> following summer, we now swap them for warm brown tones<\/strong>, as well as more subdued colors like white, beige, ivory, or khaki cargo pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A timeless spirit glides into outfits, with, according to preferences, touches of pattern or flashier colors, which can hide in the interior of a long jacket or on another piece of the outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the image you wish to convey, you can mix the oversized coat with high leather boots, which can be paired with a skirt, for example. Or opt for heels that elongate your silhouette<\/strong>, which can quickly appear flattened with certain models of XXL coats. Heels, like jewelry pumps<\/a>, break the imposing aspect of the outerwear, infusing femininity against the oversized cut of the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, we also find sneakers associated, which easily slip into looks with an oversized coat, whether short or long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarf or turtleneck? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, there are two schools. The first is to keep warm without adding too much volume by wearing a high-neck sweater. The second is to fully embrace the oversized trend by wearing a thick scarf over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of bottoms to wear? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We find thousands of associations between skirts and short dresses, jogger bottoms, raw 7\/8 jeans, cargo pants, mom jeans…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your height, silhouette, and the coat’s volume, numerous choices are available to you. What will determine the combination of pieces is primarily your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handbag or fanny pack? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once again, your style will guide your choice<\/strong>! While you can find Jacquemus’ signature bag in many outfits, you also find small patent bags attached to the belt, thus reinterpreting the idea of a fanny pack. The designer bags<\/strong> from houses like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, or Gucci are increasingly finding their place in looks, notably due to the old money trend that worships them. We can wear them either crossbody, thereby breaking the coat’s volume diagonally, or under the arm, or delicately in hand if they have a small handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to accessorize the oversized coat? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to accessories, keep it simple. The oversized coat already visually burdens you, so avoid adding a whole set of beanie, XXL scarf, bulky bag, gloves, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid weighing down the outfit, choose accessories in similar colors<\/strong>, thus blending into the coat. Or, give your outfit a pop with a scarf and beanie in the same color, contrasting with that of the coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cap takes a prominent place, with sunglasses also never far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to accessorize your oversized coat is to drape a sweater over your shoulders. This way, it\u2019s at hand to put on in case of cold, and it adds a detail to your look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
