Stick to solid colors to let your jacket stand out.
-
Oversized jackets are already statement pieces on their own. Try bold colors with a denim jacket, neutrals with a patterned jacket, or pastels with a trench coat or overcoat.
- You could also try a monochromatic look for an easy outfit that’s sure to turn heads in a crowd.
- If you want to add a pop of pattern, try throwing on a long scarf or a fun headband.
-
If you’re getting lost in your jacket, you can cinch your waist. Use a leather or cloth belt around the outside of your jacket to show off your figure.
- This looks best with a large blazer, trench coat, or overcoat.
- Try a thick black belt to make a statement, or go for a cloth belt in the same color as your coat for a more seamless look.
- If you’re going for a streetwear outfit, try using a fanny pack instead of a belt.
-
If your sleeves are too long, they could cover your hands. Roll them up a few times to expose your arms and balance out your outfit.
- You can create a fun new look by wearing a long sleeve underneath your jacket and exposing the ends of your sleeves when you cuff them.
- This works great for all oversized jackets, including blazers, overcoats, and denim jackets.
-
Tighter underlayers look great under a jacket that hits your waist. Try wearing a fitted T-shirt, a spaghetti strap tank top, a sports bra, or a bralette under your jacket.
- If you want to show some skin, try wearing a crop top or a bandeau top.
- If your shirt is a little too baggy, use a hair tie to cinch it at the waist and make it more fitted.
-
This is an easy way to style your jacket that looks great every time. Put on a pair of leggings or skin-tight jeans to create an interesting silhouette from head to toe.
- If you have an oversized blazer, use leggings to make a faux-suit for a play on the business casual look.
- If you’re rocking an oversized denim jacket, make a statement by wearing denim on denim.
-
Try a more modern style to stand out in a crowd. Put on wide-legged or straight-legged jeans, then add your oversized jacket on top for a cool, edgy look.
- If you’re working with a denim jacket, try matching the wash of your jeans with the wash of your jacket.
- This look works great with jackets that are slightly more fitted, like blazers and trench coats.
-
You can contrast your oversized jacket with a mini or midi dress. Put on a dress that has a flowy or A-line skirt, then add your jacket on top for a nice mixture of styles.
- To go extra flirty and sweet, try wearing a floral dress.
- Pair your look with heeled booties or ankle boots.
- If it’s cold out, add a pair of sheer black tights to keep your legs warm.
-
If you’re working with a blazer or overcoat, you can turn it into a suit. Put on a pair of fitted trousers and a blouse, then add your oversized coat on top.
- Make this look a little more feminine with some chunky jewelry, like a statement necklace.
- Pair your look with heeled booties or dress shoes to really play up the business casual look.
-
Oversized jackets and shorts create an interesting contrast. Put on a strappy tank top and a pair of denim shorts, then add your jacket on top.
- If you’re working with an oversized blazer, this can be a fun way to dress up for date night. Add a pair of strappy heels or ballet flats and bring a small clutch with you.
- A denim jacket with denim shorts always looks cool. Pair your outfit with some chunky sneakers and tall socks for a fun, casual look.
-
This will add a fun, feminine touch to your oversized outfit. Statement necklaces, dangly earrings, watches, and chunky bangles all look great with an oversized jacket.
- Large sunglasses are a great way to draw attention to your face.
-
This will make your outfit look cohesive from head to toe. Heeled boots, combat boots, chunky sneakers, and dress shoes all look great with an oversized jacket.
- If you’re petite, wearing chunky boots can give you a few extra inches of height.
- Tall socks are a fun way to add a pop of color to your outfit.
