I don’t know if it’s a ripple effect from the last year and a half or a byproduct of being in my 30s, but now more than ever, I find myself gravitating towards simple outfits. While statement-making looks—particularly those found on the red carpet—are always fun to look at, when it comes to getting myself dressed, I’m into ensembles that require as minimal effort as possible whilst still looking cool, of course.
This might sound like a lot to ask for, but I’ve already found the solution. You need only scroll past a handful of images on your Instagram feed to see that oversized shirts are summer’s breakout buy. Fashion types have seemingly bought them in bulk to throw on with everything from straight-leg jeans and drawstring shorts to elegant midi skirts.
I’ve pulled together six chic but discerningly simple looks I think you’re going to like, all of which revolve around an oversized shirt, be it a bright hue or a breezy fabrication. So if you’d like more time on your hands in the morning or are looking for a new off-duty look to carry you through your weekend plans, keep scrolling to discover precisely how to style an oversized shirt and to shop any pieces you might need to re-create the outfits for yourself.
