Speaker 1: You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast. Mama Mia acknowledges
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
Speaker 1: is recorded on. Whoever said orange is a new pink
Speaker 1: with seriously deserved laurels for spraying groundbreaking?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you have to do it. You live
Speaker 2: for fashion.
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that
Speaker 1: solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee Campbell,
Speaker 1: and every week I chat to an expert who helps
Speaker 1: us work out how to get more out of the
Speaker 1: clothes we already have and tells us exactly what is
Speaker 1: and isn't worth adding in rotation. Oversized t shirts and
Speaker 1: blazers and shirts have been trending for a while now,
Speaker 1: and guess what, they're here to stay. If you've already
Speaker 1: got a few oversized pieces in your wardrobe, this episode
Speaker 1: will help you elevate your style with the right fabrics, pairings,
Speaker 1: and accessories. And if you haven't jumped on the trend
Speaker 1: yet because you're unsure of how to pull it off,
Speaker 1: or you're worried it might look big or frumpy or
Speaker 1: like you're drowning in fabric, this episode is for you too,
Speaker 1: because there's a difference between oversized and just too big.
Speaker 1: To guide us through exactly how to get it right,
Speaker 1: I've brought back one of my favorites from the MoMA
Speaker 1: Mea Fashion Collective, Amelia Morris. Amelia, firstly, welcome back to
Speaker 1: the show and thank you for your public service that
Speaker 1: is your Instagram. I'm addicted to you.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: Now we are talking oversize. It's a trend that's been
Speaker 1: around for a while. I do want to know if
Speaker 1: you think it's here to stay. But firstly, there is oversize,
Speaker 1: and then there's something that's too big or doesn't fit.
Speaker 1: So can you tell me, in your opinion, what's the
Speaker 1: key to pulling off oversized clothing as opposed to shapeless
Speaker 1: too big, just not the right size.
Speaker 3: I think we've oversized. It's all about being intentional and
Speaker 3: owning it. So when we're talking about oversize, we're talking
Speaker 3: about loose. We're talking about relax versus being swallowed in
Speaker 3: fabric and being really shapeless. So you really just want
Speaker 3: to own your oversized look and not feel like you're
Speaker 3: dressing for oversize just to hide everything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's less about hiding your body or the
Speaker 1: parts you don't love, which although it can be very
Speaker 1: helpful for that, But more about the silhouette that's intentionally
Speaker 1: not really form fitting. Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Do you think oversize is here to stay in some way?
Speaker 1: Is it always here? In some way? Does it come
Speaker 1: and go? What have you observed over your career?
Speaker 3: I would say over the past couple of years, we've
Speaker 3: seen a significant growth in the momentum of oversize, and
Speaker 3: I definitely think that it's here to say, for a
Speaker 3: long time we were driven by style rules and specific
Speaker 3: dress codes, and if we think to workplaces, over the
Speaker 3: past couple of years, everything's a little bit more relaxed,
Speaker 3: and a lot of workplaces have really leaned into a
Speaker 3: code that is more casual, more comfortable, which means that
Speaker 3: people can start injecting their personal style a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, be comfortable. I've got friends that are
Speaker 1: lawyers and accountants and work really long days and they're
Speaker 1: still dressed corporately, but they're not in super tight, really
Speaker 1: high you know, stockings. They want to be comfortable while
Speaker 1: they're working so hard. And it's interesting. I was thinking
Speaker 1: back to, you know, probably my twenties and early thirties
Speaker 1: and I never did oversize, and then I thought, did
Speaker 1: I miss that boat? But I think for me, it's
Speaker 1: firstly a life stage thing. Yes, I want to wear
Speaker 1: some oversized pieces. And secondly, I think post lockdown, we've
Speaker 1: come out and we're obviously not in our active wear
Speaker 1: or our tracksuits, but we're maintaining sort of that comfort
Speaker 1: element that we got used to. Do you agree?
Speaker 3: I absolutely agree. In this era of fashion, compared to
Speaker 3: when we were growing up, the silhouettes, we didn't have
Speaker 3: as much to play around with. So now a lot
Speaker 3: of designers are adding oversized designs into their collections.
Speaker 1: So let's talk oversize because flatterings and interesting word because
Speaker 1: clothes don't need to be flattering. So when I say flattering,
Speaker 1: I don't mean to someone else's eye, just to yourself
Speaker 1: to make you feel good. So how can someone maintain
Speaker 1: feeling good and wearing a quote unquote flattering silhouette when
Speaker 1: they're going for the oversized look.
Speaker 3: As a personal stylist, and I've worked with hundreds of clients,
Speaker 3: the best thing that you can do is obviously you
Speaker 3: want to feel confident in wearing your clothes as well.
Speaker 3: But one big tip that I say to clients, is
Speaker 3: that you need to focus on balancing your proportions, so
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what body shape that you are.
Speaker 1: Is.
Speaker 3: If you, for example, are wearing an oversized tea, you
Speaker 3: might not want to wear something that's oversized with a
Speaker 3: layer over the top. You might not want to wear
Speaker 3: oversized with your pants because it might not look as cohesive,
Speaker 3: so you want to balance that out. You might wear
Speaker 3: an oversized tea, tuck it in with some high waist
Speaker 3: and trousers.
Speaker 1: You're choosing your oversized piece, but then you're working it
Speaker 1: back mindfully within the whole outfit.
Speaker 3: Yes, so even if you're wearing a button down shirt,
Speaker 3: you might want to expose some of your wrists, or
Speaker 3: you want to open up the neckline and show your
Speaker 3: collar bone, and it just really starts to play with proportions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or do the tuck. You're right, because I've got
Speaker 1: some beautiful oversized shirts. But I if I button them
Speaker 1: up and have them full long sleeve and then you know,
Speaker 1: wear them out, it looks like I'm wearing my dad's
Speaker 1: shirt or a pajama shirt. So the piece can be oversized.
Speaker 1: But as you do so well on your Instagram, it's
Speaker 1: the difference between wearing it and styling it, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just going those few extra steps that can
Speaker 3: make the biggest difference.
Speaker 1: What's the most common items you're seeing in oversize? For me,
Speaker 1: I immediately think blazers and T shirts, same with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, same as me, button down shirts, more baggy style pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a wide leg pant is kind of
Speaker 1: a version of oversize, right, because it's not a straight leg.
Speaker 1: It's not as skinny. Of course, it's still going to
Speaker 1: fit you on the waist so they don't fall off,
Speaker 1: but it's still that kind of over sized, volumeous silhouette.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we only have to look to the barrel
Speaker 3: egg jeene for instance.
Speaker 1: That I'm wearing a pair today, Oh are you? I am?
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a white pear. Mea hates them, so I've
Speaker 1: worn them to the office control her.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so funny. But that's just an update on
Speaker 3: a traditional silhouette of a jean. But if you wore
Speaker 3: that barrel legg jeen with your tea that is swallowing you,
Speaker 3: it might not work. But if you do a little tuck,
Speaker 3: you might add a little bit more.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna have to stand up and show everyone.
Speaker 1: Funny you say that because getting dressed this morning, I
Speaker 1: put on an oversized shirt and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: and then I tucked it in and then I was like,
Speaker 1: this still isn't working. So this isn't a tight, tight
Speaker 1: T shirt. But it's definitely not huge because I've got
Speaker 1: a lot of volume going on down here. I so agree.
Speaker 1: You can't just throw on the pieces without thinking how
Speaker 1: they go together exactly. All right, We've talked about the
Speaker 1: importance of the balance of the overall Look, can we
Speaker 1: wear an oversized top with really you know we're hearing
Speaker 1: skinny legs are back? Do you think that looks too
Speaker 1: at odds? Or you know? I mean I like a
Speaker 1: tight tank with an oversized pant. So where do you
Speaker 1: think you find the balance? Is it always top and bottom?
Speaker 1: Is it adding a heel? Is it maybe using a belt?
Speaker 1: What are your little tips for balance?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It really just depends on what your personal style is.
Speaker 3: So we can have all of these rules. And I
Speaker 3: want to preface and say that no matter what body
Speaker 3: shape you are, and even though I'm telling you to
Speaker 3: dress your proportions, it's whatever that makes you feel confident.
Speaker 3: But obviously there are some little tweets that really will
Speaker 3: enhance the overall look, so you can take it or
Speaker 3: leave it. But I personally, if I'm going to wear,
Speaker 3: say a really oversized blazer, because i'm fatigue as in
Speaker 3: five ' three and under, I'm just on the cuffs.
Speaker 1: I've always say I'm average height, but I think I'm
Speaker 1: just Yeah, I'm not teeny tiny, but I definitely have
Speaker 1: to have my pants taken.
Speaker 2: Up exactly same here.
Speaker 3: Sometimes when I wear oversized, it can overwhelm my frame.
Speaker 3: So for them, when I wear an oversized blazer, I
Speaker 3: love wearing a belt around the mid section to define
Speaker 3: my waist. Or if I'm wearing an oversized blazer, i
Speaker 3: want to make sure that I haven't buttoned it up,
Speaker 3: so I'm creating a little bit more space with say
Speaker 3: a tea or a tank underneath, and it just really
Speaker 3: looks better.
Speaker 1: And perhaps maybe you know a V neck tea or
Speaker 1: a tank, so there's that bit of skin so it's
Speaker 1: not so much fabric all in one area. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: interesting you say that, because I'm obsessed with oversized blazers.
Speaker 1: I've got too many. But I've found that there's something
Speaker 1: you need to try on in real life, because the
Speaker 1: teeniest tiniest difference can look like it's intentionally oversized, or
Speaker 1: you're wearing the wrong size, or it just doesn't fit you.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I love thrifting, as we've discussed many times, and I
Speaker 1: think thrifting is a really great way to try oversized
Speaker 1: because thrift stores don't have that item in every size.
Speaker 1: So I often go to the men's section and try
Speaker 1: shirts and blazers and T shirts. But you really need
Speaker 1: to try them on because they could look cool or
Speaker 1: they can you know, the shoulders will be too far out.
Speaker 1: You know, there's beautiful Camilla and Mark oversized blazers with
Speaker 1: an intentional shoulder. But then if you're wearing a men's
Speaker 1: blazer that's way too big, it does just look like
Speaker 1: you've popped on your cousins or your brother's blazer. So
Speaker 1: there's a difference between oversize and too big.
Speaker 3: Right, I want to say to everyone, do not sleep
Speaker 3: on the men's section.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, me too. This T shirt I'm wearing
Speaker 1: right now. You go men's section and this is the
Speaker 1: extra small, so it's still quite fitted for me. I mean, unigloes,
Speaker 1: quite unisex, but I was at my local Viny's on
Speaker 1: the weekend and I got two amazing men's T shirts
Speaker 1: because you know how sort of graphic printed shirts are
Speaker 1: great with skirts at the moment. Yes, two men's shirts
Speaker 1: amazing And that was upstairs, whereas women's was downstairs, and
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I went up there. So yeah, if
Speaker 1: you particularly want to try oversize, not that everything will work,
Speaker 1: but go and try their shirts, their T shirts and
Speaker 1: their blazers. And if you've got huge feet like me,
Speaker 1: look in this men's section, because I've got some amazing
Speaker 1: men's sneaker. It's not that I wear them oversized. I've
Speaker 1: just got big feet. That was a bit of a segue.
Speaker 1: But men's is a great way to try this trend.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I'll second the uniclow. I wear the basic teas.
Speaker 3: They're so good because you get extra coverage with your sleeves.
Speaker 3: I know, I hear often from women they want a
Speaker 3: little bit more coverage on their arms with their te's.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes women teas can be quite fitted in
Speaker 3: the sleeve, so agreed, a little bit more floatiness in
Speaker 3: your sleeve. A men's tea is a really great option.
Speaker 1: Annoyingly, they're oftentimes more affordable. Yeah, like that's a whole
Speaker 1: other topic. So you touched on you being petite, and
Speaker 1: I guess I'm petite too, So you can get swallowed
Speaker 1: by fabric, So that's important. What about a large bust.
Speaker 1: I always hear from friends saying I can't do oversize
Speaker 1: because I have a large bust and it just looks
Speaker 1: too foxy.
Speaker 3: If you're fuller in the bus, like you said, it
Speaker 3: can make you appear boxy when you're wearing like floaty
Speaker 3: things on the top. But if you, for example, wanted
Speaker 3: to wear a blazer, you might want to add a
Speaker 3: little bit more structure in your shoulder. When we're looking
Speaker 3: at your button down t's and your T shirts, you
Speaker 3: want to create a little bit of space between your
Speaker 3: chest and your chin, So you might hot for a
Speaker 3: V neck unbton the button down shirt a little bit
Speaker 3: more so you're exposing your decklopage area, and then maybe
Speaker 3: you want to pair it back with something that's a
Speaker 3: little bit more fitted on bottom.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like the Levis wear G jeans, they're
Speaker 1: so good, they're so flattering, and they're just kind of
Speaker 1: a straight leg, and that with an oversized anything on top.
Speaker 1: You don't have to wear skinny skinny to make the
Speaker 1: juxtaposition or the balance. You can still just do sort
Speaker 1: of a beautiful straight leg pant or even a mini.
Speaker 1: I find, you know, if you love your legs, I
Speaker 1: think like a cool oversized blazer where it almost hits
Speaker 1: where the mini hits as well, is just so cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that look, and I don't know if
Speaker 3: you've seen, you probably have scandy girls wearing the oversized
Speaker 3: tees over the sheer dresses.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, I tried my first version of that.
Speaker 1: I wore like a lacy white long sleeve maxi skirt
Speaker 1: and then a cool like blue which is very not
Speaker 1: me long T shirt out did not feel like myself.
Speaker 1: I was a bit scared, but I felt really good.
Speaker 1: And guess what, I was so comfortable didn't need to
Speaker 1: tuck my T shirt in when I went for a wee.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about being intentional. So you're playing
Speaker 3: with texture, playing with proportions, you're having a bit of
Speaker 3: fun with your style.
Speaker 1: And I think also with oversize, it generally kind of
Speaker 1: leans towards masculine, So pairing it with something that is
Speaker 1: hyper feminine like a lace or a silk or a
Speaker 1: satin kind of gives you that balance, even if it's
Speaker 1: not so much in the proportions, it's just more in
Speaker 1: the aesthetic.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about fabrics, because can all fabrics be oversized?
Speaker 1: I thought about this and I thought they can be.
Speaker 1: But then I thought maybe it's best for sort of
Speaker 1: stiffer or structure and fabrics because I always size up
Speaker 1: maybe two sizes for a slip dress. But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say that that is then oversize. It more just falls
Speaker 1: better than grabs on my lumps and bumps. So what
Speaker 1: kind of fabrics do you think we'd look for for
Speaker 1: oversized to look good.
Speaker 3: I think cotton is really great, which also leans into
Speaker 3: like a denim. You could do a denim shack oversized.
Speaker 3: I think even chunky oversized knits work really well if
Speaker 3: we into winter. But we don't want to talk about
Speaker 3: winter too much because I'm here for.
Speaker 1: Oh, you never know if the weather I'm still doing
Speaker 1: a knit with a mini or a short because you
Speaker 1: just don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm in Victoria and the weather is just
Speaker 3: so up and down, so can't pack them away just yet.
Speaker 1: And also I guess the oversized blazers and the oversized
Speaker 1: sort of wide leg pants, they're kind of tailoring structured
Speaker 1: in a way, and that's when I think oversize looks
Speaker 1: best when it's sort of still powerful rather than sort
Speaker 1: of sloppy, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Linens are really good.
Speaker 3: Yes, what I would avoid it is really clinging kind.
Speaker 2: Of fabrics like jersey in oversize.
Speaker 1: That's just gonna get annoying. I agree, Jerseys not an
Speaker 1: oversized fabric to go with is oversized casual. Can we
Speaker 1: do oversized dressy? Do you think?
Speaker 3: I think you can. It just depends how dressy you
Speaker 3: want to go. Like we were talking about before, you
Speaker 3: can do oversize tea over say a more dressier dress
Speaker 3: like silk, and you can pop on heels and that
Speaker 3: becomes more elevated. If you want to dress that down,
Speaker 3: you swap out the heels to some sneakers.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, coming into event season and
Speaker 1: summer and all the things that've got going on, can
Speaker 1: you really do oversize to like an event and event?
Speaker 1: And for me, I'm seeing some beautiful sort of maxi
Speaker 1: dresses that just sort of fall they're almost like smock dresses.
Speaker 1: And I thought, does that fall into oversize? I don't
Speaker 1: think it really does, because when we're talking oversized, we're
Speaker 1: talking more structure, shoulder sleeve. But it's not to say
Speaker 1: that you can't just wear a big, beautiful, flowy dress.
Speaker 1: But I would probably wear something if I I needed
Speaker 1: something to cover up, I'd probably wear something a little
Speaker 1: bit more fitted if the dress is really flowy. Would
Speaker 1: you agree?
Speaker 2: I agree?
Speaker 1: Accessories, how do we accessorize and oversize? Looked? Because visually
Speaker 1: oversize is quite a statement already. What are your tips
Speaker 1: with accessrizing?
Speaker 3: Like you said, sometimes if the blazer is quite oversized
Speaker 3: and maybe it's got some shoulder pads to add a
Speaker 3: little bit more structure, that's the statement. But then maybe
Speaker 3: you want to do something with a statement earring or
Speaker 3: your bag is the statement. I mean, you can go nuts.
Speaker 3: It depends how far you want.
Speaker 2: To go with your ex.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and how confident you are.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes also the accessories make the outfit,
Speaker 1: Like if it is a simple oversized blazer with jeans
Speaker 1: and a T shirt, A killer necklace, just a chunky
Speaker 1: necklace or charm necklace is a huge I love whatever
Speaker 1: you're wearing at the moment. What is that? That's a
Speaker 1: beautiful necklace.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's by an Australian label called Gimme and
Speaker 3: it's a chunky necklace.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know her.
Speaker 2: She's gorgeous, lovely. Oh you did a color yet.
Speaker 1: I did do a collub with them. I did my
Speaker 1: own little range and that's it. You know, it might
Speaker 1: be that simple gray blazer that doesn't feel that spacih,
Speaker 1: but you're still kind of got the nod to the
Speaker 1: oversize and then you chuck on the necklace and you're
Speaker 1: feeling quite eclectic. Now listen. Common mistakes people make when
Speaker 1: trying to do oversize. Is it that they're just wearing
Speaker 1: something that's not the right cut or fit.
Speaker 3: I think it just we circle back to if you're
Speaker 3: wearing oversized everything and you're drowning in fabric, if you're
Speaker 3: not adding extra accessories, if you're not going the extra
Speaker 3: distance to style your outfit. I personally, when I'm wearing oversize,
Speaker 3: I really like to wear something oversized and then something fitted. Yes,
Speaker 3: for today, I'm wearing an oversized tea, but like you've
Speaker 3: done a little tuck into my LEXI skirt.
Speaker 1: Oh cute. Oh, I need to see for that fit
Speaker 1: for me again. I think it's also the shoulders. You know,
Speaker 1: if it's meant to sort of have a square shoulder
Speaker 1: pad situation, it really needs to still, you know, be
Speaker 1: an intentionally oversized blazer but in your size type thing.
Speaker 1: Whereas coming out of winter. But I still wear a
Speaker 1: lot of bomber jackets. But all the bomber jackets were
Speaker 1: so cropped that I sized up quite a bit. It
Speaker 1: created sort of a drop shoulder, but I quite liked that. Yes,
Speaker 1: So I think it depends on the piece, and I
Speaker 1: think it's really important to try them on, you know,
Speaker 1: either shop online where you can return, or go to
Speaker 1: a store. I now, because I used to just go
Speaker 1: that's my size off, I go. Now I'll take three
Speaker 1: different sizes of the same item into the change room
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, how am I going to wear this?
Speaker 1: What size is the most versatile, which size is comfortable?
Speaker 1: Do I want to do it up? Do I not?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 1: I want to be able to do both. So I
Speaker 1: think even just when shopping items that aren't oversized, take
Speaker 1: a few sizes to the change room and then see
Speaker 1: what feels best. Because oftentimes that number on the tag
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily going to be the best for that item.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree, and also have fun with what
Speaker 3: you're pairing that we add some texture, add some different
Speaker 3: silhouettes with it, because sometimes you just might be trying
Speaker 3: on something oversized, a piece that you're already walked into
Speaker 3: the change room with it, and maybe that doesn't go
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 1: Yes, get at home and play and you know, pair
Speaker 1: it with the things that you didn't think would work.
Speaker 1: Look in the mirror, it might not work. The ones
Speaker 1: that do work. Snap a photo, save it in a
Speaker 1: folder in your phone, and then when you don't know
Speaker 1: what to wear, you open that folder and off you go. Now,
Speaker 1: before we get into bougie and budget, we're gonna both
Speaker 1: bring specific oversized recommendations. Do you have some favorite brands
Speaker 1: or stores or you know labels that do oversize?
Speaker 2: Well, I sure do so, Ina Pelly.
Speaker 1: Yes, beautiful, I think Melbourne based brand.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, they're down the road from me on the
Speaker 3: surf coast. Ah. And also we both love a Camilla
Speaker 3: and Mark blazer.
Speaker 1: Yes don't we all? I always, if I can get there,
Speaker 1: go to the sample sale or their warehouse sale. Because
Speaker 1: they're so expensive. However, the quality is phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if you've heard of this
Speaker 3: Gold Coast brand called Sabi No. So they do these
Speaker 3: really a click deep oversized teas and they're blowing up.
Speaker 1: They're probably all over my feet and don't know where
Speaker 1: they're from. But now thanks to the algorithm, we've spoken
Speaker 1: it out loud. I'm sure it'll be on my phone
Speaker 1: in one minute.
Speaker 2: Also Ganny, I.
Speaker 1: Love Ganny Yes excellent. Yeah, I love atmoson here on
Speaker 1: the Iconic they're doing some really good T shirts as
Speaker 1: we said, Uniglow great, Yes, Shopo. I've got a bunch
Speaker 1: of oversized blazers from Their blazers are cheap and cheer for.
Speaker 1: They're pretty much you know, poly or synthetic, but I
Speaker 1: like that because they don't crush. I use them for travel,
Speaker 1: so they're not my specific bougie and budget. But I
Speaker 1: think if you even just jump into Google and type
Speaker 1: in oversized tea, or jump on your favorite website and
Speaker 1: type in oversize. I've got a great oversized T shirt
Speaker 1: from de Cuba the other day, so everyone is definitely
Speaker 1: on it. It's harder to find a fitted blazer or
Speaker 1: a fitted tea for example, at the moment than it
Speaker 1: is oversized, so it's definitely everywhere. It's just finding the
Speaker 1: right oversize for you.
Speaker 3: And I'll just add one more for my curby sisters
Speaker 3: is PQ collection have an incredible extended size range, great
Speaker 3: button down shirts.
Speaker 1: It's very expensive, how Wondred? All right? Bougie and budget. Well, look,
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with my bougie because you already
Speaker 1: mentioned Camilla and Mark. I have a few of their
Speaker 1: blazers and one of their long coats. Do I need this? No?
Speaker 1: Will I buy it? I don't know. It's actually listed
Speaker 1: on the Style Runner website. It's the Camilla and Mark
Speaker 1: des oversized coat. It's seven hundred tollents, so it's a lot.
Speaker 1: Although I've just seen on Style Runner you can earn
Speaker 1: quantus points by shopping on that. I did not know.
Speaker 1: It looks trench like. It's very long. It's got that
Speaker 1: beautiful cuff, those lapel thingies, and then a sort of
Speaker 1: brownish buttons or maybe their tortoisesell I can't see from here.
Speaker 1: Beautiful accentuated collar, not really shoulder patty sleeves. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a drop sleeve. But because it's that kind of
Speaker 1: light oat color, it's really good for transseasonal. I wear
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, white teas and jeans. I
Speaker 1: don't want black a lot of the time. It just
Speaker 1: feels too sort of matrixy for me. So a light
Speaker 1: color that I can just chuck on with everything. This
Speaker 1: is just the most beautiful coat. So it might go
Speaker 1: and sale, you might be treating yourself, but you'd have
Speaker 1: that kind of cut and silhouette forever.
Speaker 2: You go and have a look at that.
Speaker 1: Now, Yes, maybe we can timeshare. We'll post it back
Speaker 1: and forth to each other. What's your bougie?
Speaker 3: My bougie is the Cassie logo tea from Ina Pelly.
Speaker 3: So it's this oversized, beautiful pink tea. It's got distressing
Speaker 3: in it, micro cuts, but not really big gates in
Speaker 3: the sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just that kind of intentional warning vibe.
Speaker 3: Yes, And because I love pink, I think that's what's
Speaker 3: selling it for me. And it's one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 3: So it's bougie, but not overly bougie.
Speaker 1: No, not compared to mine. That's good. Well, I've got
Speaker 1: a T shirt as well. Good old cotton On. They
Speaker 1: do seven hundred and sixty five thousand different cuts of
Speaker 1: T shirts. The one I love and I have a
Speaker 1: lot of is the cotton On the boxy oversized tea
Speaker 1: twenty four to ninety nine. It comes in ten different colors.
Speaker 1: A few of those are stripes. Smaller size is two
Speaker 1: times extra small, and larger size is two times extra large,
Speaker 1: so it's, you know, quite inclusive. There. There's a beautiful
Speaker 1: brat green that I've got my eye on. I can't
Speaker 1: see a pink for you. The rest are all pretty neutral.
Speaker 1: But it's got that longest leave that you talk about
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of women don't love their
Speaker 1: upper arms and might want to cover that. But also
Speaker 1: then you can just cuff it. It's got that kind
Speaker 1: of wider hem whereby if you just roll it up
Speaker 1: and cuff it, it looks quite cool. Beautiful thick crew neck.
Speaker 1: I like that thicker crew neck. It just feels like
Speaker 1: it's good quality, not gonna lie. When I last ordered,
Speaker 1: they were down to ten dollars each or something, so
Speaker 1: always check the cotton On website. But they're just such
Speaker 1: good teas, like you can do that with your leggings
Speaker 1: and running around, or you can put that under your
Speaker 1: blazer and fancy pants. I just love a good T
Speaker 1: shirt me too. What's your budget?
Speaker 3: So my budget is the Emily shirt from Feather and Noise.
Speaker 3: So it's a lemon striped shirt, and we know that
Speaker 3: lemon and butter lemon color of the season.
Speaker 1: Literally all of a sudden, absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so this shirt it goes up to so
Speaker 3: I think it's size six to size eighteen, but they're
Speaker 3: really oversized and it's seventy four ninety five.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, I need to check that out. One more
Speaker 1: tip before I let you go is I think it's
Speaker 1: important because people get a bit confused when shopping oversized online,
Speaker 1: and I get it because you want to know is
Speaker 1: it oversized because she's sized up? So always read what
Speaker 1: size the model's wearing. You can kind of gauge the
Speaker 1: size of the model and then if it's really big
Speaker 1: on her. But oftentimes now, I mean, I'm just still
Speaker 1: on the Cotton website and there's that customer review whereby
Speaker 1: run small runs large, So just check that and always
Speaker 1: read the comments because you know, I bought something an
Speaker 1: overseas website a few months ago that I thought was
Speaker 1: going to be oversized, and then it turns up and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's too fitted. Everyone in the
Speaker 1: comments was like, it's only oversized because she's wearing a
Speaker 1: bigger size. Make sure your size up if you want
Speaker 1: it to look like the picture. So if you are
Speaker 1: shopping online and can't touch and feel and try it on,
Speaker 1: read the comments, read the reviews, look at the size chart,
Speaker 1: just to make sure you're getting the fit that you want.
Speaker 1: I agree, perfect, Amelia, you are the best. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to have you back on again. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for all your tips, and we'll see you soon.
