You live 0:00:29.185 --> 0:00:29.865 for fashion. 0:00:31.545 --> 0:00:34.585 Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that 0:00:34.665 --> 0:00:38.985 solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee Campbell, 0:00:39.025 --> 0:00:42.145 and every week I chat to an expert who helps 0:00:42.225 --> 0:00:44.025 us work out how to get more out of the 0:00:44.025 --> 0:00:47.345 clothes we already have and tells us exactly what is 0:00:47.425 --> 0:00:51.785 and isn't worth adding in rotation. Oversized t shirts and 0:00:51.865 --> 0:00:54.865 blazers and shirts have been trending for a while now, 0:00:55.025 --> 0:00:58.345 and guess what, they're here to stay. If you've already 0:00:58.345 --> 0:01:01.505 got a few oversized pieces in your wardrobe, this episode 0:01:01.545 --> 0:01:05.185 will help you elevate your style with the right fabrics, pairings, 0:01:05.225 --> 0:01:08.385 and accessories. And if you haven't jumped on the trend 0:01:08.465 --> 0:01:10.465 yet because you're unsure of how to pull it off, 0:01:10.545 --> 0:01:13.425 or you're worried it might look big or frumpy or 0:01:13.465 --> 0:01:16.505 like you're drowning in fabric, this episode is for you too, 0:01:16.785 --> 0:01:20.145 because there's a difference between oversized and just too big. 0:01:20.625 --> 0:01:22.865 To guide us through exactly how to get it right, 0:01:23.065 --> 0:01:25.625 I've brought back one of my favorites from the MoMA 0:01:25.665 --> 0:01:30.505 Mea Fashion Collective, Amelia Morris. Amelia, firstly, welcome back to 0:01:30.545 --> 0:01:32.905 the show and thank you for your public service that 0:01:32.985 --> 0:01:34.625 is your Instagram. I'm addicted to you. 0:01:35.025 --> 0:01:35.705 Oh, thank you. 0:01:36.545 --> 0:01:40.385 Now we are talking oversize. It's a trend that's been 0:01:40.425 --> 0:01:42.065 around for a while. I do want to know if 0:01:42.105 --> 0:01:45.945 you think it's here to stay. But firstly, there is oversize, 0:01:46.025 --> 0:01:49.265 and then there's something that's too big or doesn't fit. 0:01:49.465 --> 0:01:52.745 So can you tell me, in your opinion, what's the 0:01:52.825 --> 0:01:57.705 key to pulling off oversized clothing as opposed to shapeless 0:01:57.705 --> 0:01:59.945 too big, just not the right size. 0:02:00.185 --> 0:02:04.385 I think we've oversized. It's all about being intentional and 0:02:04.505 --> 0:02:08.145 owning it. So when we're talking about oversize, we're talking 0:02:08.145 --> 0:02:12.225 about loose. We're talking about relax versus being swallowed in 0:02:12.345 --> 0:02:15.865 fabric and being really shapeless. So you really just want 0:02:15.905 --> 0:02:19.345 to own your oversized look and not feel like you're 0:02:19.465 --> 0:02:22.345 dressing for oversize just to hide everything. 0:02:22.665 --> 0:02:24.625 So yeah, it's less about hiding your body or the 0:02:24.625 --> 0:02:26.465 parts you don't love, which although it can be very 0:02:26.465 --> 0:02:29.705 helpful for that, But more about the silhouette that's intentionally 0:02:30.305 --> 0:02:32.505 not really form fitting. Is that right? 0:02:32.665 --> 0:02:33.545 Yeah? Absolutely? 0:02:33.825 --> 0:02:36.865 Do you think oversize is here to stay in some way? 0:02:37.065 --> 0:02:39.305 Is it always here? In some way? Does it come 0:02:39.345 --> 0:02:41.385 and go? What have you observed over your career? 0:02:41.745 --> 0:02:44.705 I would say over the past couple of years, we've 0:02:44.705 --> 0:02:48.625 seen a significant growth in the momentum of oversize, and 0:02:48.665 --> 0:02:50.985 I definitely think that it's here to say, for a 0:02:51.065 --> 0:02:54.905 long time we were driven by style rules and specific 0:02:55.025 --> 0:02:59.545 dress codes, and if we think to workplaces, over the 0:02:59.585 --> 0:03:03.905 past couple of years, everything's a little bit more relaxed, 0:03:04.065 --> 0:03:09.465 and a lot of workplaces have really leaned into a 0:03:09.905 --> 0:03:13.585 code that is more casual, more comfortable, which means that 0:03:13.625 --> 0:03:16.585 people can start injecting their personal style a little bit more. 0:03:16.705 --> 0:03:18.545 Yeah, you're right, be comfortable. I've got friends that are 0:03:18.625 --> 0:03:21.665 lawyers and accountants and work really long days and they're 0:03:21.665 --> 0:03:24.825 still dressed corporately, but they're not in super tight, really 0:03:24.905 --> 0:03:27.145 high you know, stockings. They want to be comfortable while 0:03:27.145 --> 0:03:30.265 they're working so hard. And it's interesting. I was thinking 0:03:30.305 --> 0:03:32.905 back to, you know, probably my twenties and early thirties 0:03:32.905 --> 0:03:35.905 and I never did oversize, and then I thought, did 0:03:35.985 --> 0:03:38.025 I miss that boat? But I think for me, it's 0:03:38.105 --> 0:03:40.945 firstly a life stage thing. Yes, I want to wear 0:03:40.945 --> 0:03:43.865 some oversized pieces. And secondly, I think post lockdown, we've 0:03:43.865 --> 0:03:46.945 come out and we're obviously not in our active wear 0:03:47.145 --> 0:03:51.025 or our tracksuits, but we're maintaining sort of that comfort 0:03:51.065 --> 0:03:52.865 element that we got used to. Do you agree? 0:03:52.945 --> 0:03:57.425 I absolutely agree. In this era of fashion, compared to 0:03:57.745 --> 0:04:00.585 when we were growing up, the silhouettes, we didn't have 0:04:00.745 --> 0:04:03.945 as much to play around with. So now a lot 0:04:03.985 --> 0:04:06.985 of designers are adding oversized designs into their collections. 0:04:07.265 --> 0:04:10.705 So let's talk oversize because flatterings and interesting word because 0:04:11.465 --> 0:04:14.105 clothes don't need to be flattering. So when I say flattering, 0:04:14.145 --> 0:04:17.385 I don't mean to someone else's eye, just to yourself 0:04:17.425 --> 0:04:19.945 to make you feel good. So how can someone maintain 0:04:20.385 --> 0:04:24.505 feeling good and wearing a quote unquote flattering silhouette when 0:04:24.545 --> 0:04:26.305 they're going for the oversized look. 0:04:26.505 --> 0:04:30.025 As a personal stylist, and I've worked with hundreds of clients, 0:04:30.225 --> 0:04:33.905 the best thing that you can do is obviously you 0:04:33.905 --> 0:04:36.385 want to feel confident in wearing your clothes as well. 0:04:36.625 --> 0:04:39.145 But one big tip that I say to clients, is 0:04:39.225 --> 0:04:42.705 that you need to focus on balancing your proportions, so 0:04:42.745 --> 0:04:45.145 it doesn't matter what body shape that you are. 0:04:46.345 --> 0:04:46.465 Is. 0:04:46.945 --> 0:04:51.505 If you, for example, are wearing an oversized tea, you 0:04:51.585 --> 0:04:54.905 might not want to wear something that's oversized with a 0:04:55.025 --> 0:04:57.265 layer over the top. You might not want to wear 0:04:57.385 --> 0:05:00.665 oversized with your pants because it might not look as cohesive, 0:05:00.785 --> 0:05:02.945 so you want to balance that out. You might wear 0:05:02.985 --> 0:05:06.705 an oversized tea, tuck it in with some high waist 0:05:06.705 --> 0:05:07.385 and trousers. 0:05:07.545 --> 0:05:10.465 You're choosing your oversized piece, but then you're working it 0:05:10.545 --> 0:05:12.585 back mindfully within the whole outfit. 0:05:12.945 --> 0:05:16.265 Yes, so even if you're wearing a button down shirt, 0:05:16.345 --> 0:05:19.945 you might want to expose some of your wrists, or 0:05:19.985 --> 0:05:22.385 you want to open up the neckline and show your 0:05:22.425 --> 0:05:26.145 collar bone, and it just really starts to play with proportions. 0:05:26.545 --> 0:05:28.385 Yeah, or do the tuck. You're right, because I've got 0:05:28.425 --> 0:05:31.025 some beautiful oversized shirts. But I if I button them 0:05:31.065 --> 0:05:33.065 up and have them full long sleeve and then you know, 0:05:33.105 --> 0:05:35.065 wear them out, it looks like I'm wearing my dad's 0:05:35.065 --> 0:05:38.865 shirt or a pajama shirt. So the piece can be oversized. 0:05:38.905 --> 0:05:40.625 But as you do so well on your Instagram, it's 0:05:40.705 --> 0:05:43.265 the difference between wearing it and styling it, right. 0:05:43.345 --> 0:05:46.345 Yeah, it's just going those few extra steps that can 0:05:46.385 --> 0:05:47.785 make the biggest difference. 0:05:48.065 --> 0:05:50.905 What's the most common items you're seeing in oversize? For me, 0:05:50.985 --> 0:05:54.345 I immediately think blazers and T shirts, same with you. 0:05:54.705 --> 0:05:59.065 Yeah, same as me, button down shirts, more baggy style pants. 0:05:59.505 --> 0:06:01.665 Yeah, I mean a wide leg pant is kind of 0:06:01.665 --> 0:06:03.905 a version of oversize, right, because it's not a straight leg. 0:06:03.985 --> 0:06:05.505 It's not as skinny. Of course, it's still going to 0:06:05.545 --> 0:06:07.985 fit you on the waist so they don't fall off, 0:06:08.305 --> 0:06:12.185 but it's still that kind of over sized, volumeous silhouette. 0:06:12.345 --> 0:06:14.465 Yeah, and we only have to look to the barrel 0:06:14.505 --> 0:06:16.225 egg jeene for instance. 0:06:16.025 --> 0:06:20.825 That I'm wearing a pair today, Oh are you? I am? 0:06:20.865 --> 0:06:23.025 I'm wearing a white pear. Mea hates them, so I've 0:06:23.025 --> 0:06:24.465 worn them to the office control her. 0:06:24.625 --> 0:06:27.505 Oh that's so funny. But that's just an update on 0:06:28.145 --> 0:06:31.385 a traditional silhouette of a jean. But if you wore 0:06:31.585 --> 0:06:36.385 that barrel legg jeen with your tea that is swallowing you, 0:06:37.145 --> 0:06:40.025 it might not work. But if you do a little tuck, 0:06:40.385 --> 0:06:41.625 you might add a little bit more. 0:06:41.905 --> 0:06:44.065 That's what I'm gonna have to stand up and show everyone. 0:06:44.345 --> 0:06:46.425 Funny you say that because getting dressed this morning, I 0:06:46.465 --> 0:06:48.625 put on an oversized shirt and then I was like, oh, 0:06:48.705 --> 0:06:49.865 and then I tucked it in and then I was like, 0:06:49.905 --> 0:06:52.105 this still isn't working. So this isn't a tight, tight 0:06:52.105 --> 0:06:55.585 T shirt. But it's definitely not huge because I've got 0:06:55.625 --> 0:06:57.825 a lot of volume going on down here. I so agree. 0:06:57.865 --> 0:07:00.865 You can't just throw on the pieces without thinking how 0:07:00.865 --> 0:07:03.825 they go together exactly. All right, We've talked about the 0:07:03.865 --> 0:07:06.945 importance of the balance of the overall Look, can we 0:07:06.945 --> 0:07:10.345 wear an oversized top with really you know we're hearing 0:07:10.385 --> 0:07:13.545 skinny legs are back? Do you think that looks too 0:07:13.705 --> 0:07:17.145 at odds? Or you know? I mean I like a 0:07:17.185 --> 0:07:19.345 tight tank with an oversized pant. So where do you 0:07:19.385 --> 0:07:21.825 think you find the balance? Is it always top and bottom? 0:07:21.905 --> 0:07:25.025 Is it adding a heel? Is it maybe using a belt? 0:07:25.225 --> 0:07:26.665 What are your little tips for balance? 0:07:26.945 --> 0:07:27.185 Yeah? 0:07:27.225 --> 0:07:30.585 It really just depends on what your personal style is. 0:07:30.665 --> 0:07:32.865 So we can have all of these rules. And I 0:07:32.905 --> 0:07:36.225 want to preface and say that no matter what body 0:07:36.225 --> 0:07:38.105 shape you are, and even though I'm telling you to 0:07:38.225 --> 0:07:41.665 dress your proportions, it's whatever that makes you feel confident. 0:07:41.945 --> 0:07:46.585 But obviously there are some little tweets that really will 0:07:46.665 --> 0:07:49.785 enhance the overall look, so you can take it or 0:07:49.865 --> 0:07:52.785 leave it. But I personally, if I'm going to wear, 0:07:52.825 --> 0:07:56.985 say a really oversized blazer, because i'm fatigue as in 0:07:57.185 --> 0:08:00.105 five ' three and under, I'm just on the cuffs. 0:08:00.145 --> 0:08:01.945 I've always say I'm average height, but I think I'm 0:08:01.985 --> 0:08:05.225 just Yeah, I'm not teeny tiny, but I definitely have 0:08:05.305 --> 0:08:06.505 to have my pants taken. 0:08:06.345 --> 0:08:08.025 Up exactly same here. 0:08:08.625 --> 0:08:13.465 Sometimes when I wear oversized, it can overwhelm my frame. 0:08:13.665 --> 0:08:17.265 So for them, when I wear an oversized blazer, I 0:08:17.345 --> 0:08:20.705 love wearing a belt around the mid section to define 0:08:20.745 --> 0:08:25.185 my waist. Or if I'm wearing an oversized blazer, i 0:08:25.225 --> 0:08:27.625 want to make sure that I haven't buttoned it up, 0:08:27.665 --> 0:08:30.025 so I'm creating a little bit more space with say 0:08:30.065 --> 0:08:32.345 a tea or a tank underneath, and it just really 0:08:32.465 --> 0:08:32.985 looks better. 0:08:33.225 --> 0:08:35.505 And perhaps maybe you know a V neck tea or 0:08:35.545 --> 0:08:37.665 a tank, so there's that bit of skin so it's 0:08:37.665 --> 0:08:41.185 not so much fabric all in one area. Yes, it's 0:08:41.225 --> 0:08:43.705 interesting you say that, because I'm obsessed with oversized blazers. 0:08:43.745 --> 0:08:47.265 I've got too many. But I've found that there's something 0:08:47.305 --> 0:08:48.985 you need to try on in real life, because the 0:08:49.105 --> 0:08:53.465 teeniest tiniest difference can look like it's intentionally oversized, or 0:08:53.505 --> 0:08:56.905 you're wearing the wrong size, or it just doesn't fit you. 0:08:56.745 --> 0:08:57.065 You know. 0:08:57.105 --> 0:08:59.265 I love thrifting, as we've discussed many times, and I 0:08:59.305 --> 0:09:01.945 think thrifting is a really great way to try oversized 0:09:01.985 --> 0:09:04.945 because thrift stores don't have that item in every size. 0:09:04.945 --> 0:09:06.585 So I often go to the men's section and try 0:09:06.625 --> 0:09:09.225 shirts and blazers and T shirts. But you really need 0:09:09.225 --> 0:09:11.065 to try them on because they could look cool or 0:09:11.105 --> 0:09:13.305 they can you know, the shoulders will be too far out. 0:09:13.585 --> 0:09:15.985 You know, there's beautiful Camilla and Mark oversized blazers with 0:09:16.025 --> 0:09:18.905 an intentional shoulder. But then if you're wearing a men's 0:09:18.905 --> 0:09:21.225 blazer that's way too big, it does just look like 0:09:21.665 --> 0:09:25.185 you've popped on your cousins or your brother's blazer. So 0:09:25.185 --> 0:09:27.745 there's a difference between oversize and too big. 0:09:27.865 --> 0:09:30.385 Right, I want to say to everyone, do not sleep 0:09:30.425 --> 0:09:31.305 on the men's section. 0:09:31.665 --> 0:09:34.105 Oh my gosh, me too. This T shirt I'm wearing 0:09:34.145 --> 0:09:36.705 right now. You go men's section and this is the 0:09:36.745 --> 0:09:39.585 extra small, so it's still quite fitted for me. I mean, unigloes, 0:09:39.665 --> 0:09:42.665 quite unisex, but I was at my local Viny's on 0:09:42.705 --> 0:09:45.305 the weekend and I got two amazing men's T shirts 0:09:45.345 --> 0:09:48.065 because you know how sort of graphic printed shirts are 0:09:48.065 --> 0:09:51.185 great with skirts at the moment. Yes, two men's shirts 0:09:51.465 --> 0:09:54.585 amazing And that was upstairs, whereas women's was downstairs, and 0:09:54.625 --> 0:09:56.425 I'm so glad I went up there. So yeah, if 0:09:56.425 --> 0:10:00.065 you particularly want to try oversize, not that everything will work, 0:10:00.105 --> 0:10:03.665 but go and try their shirts, their T shirts and 0:10:03.705 --> 0:10:05.745 their blazers. And if you've got huge feet like me, 0:10:06.065 --> 0:10:08.465 look in this men's section, because I've got some amazing 0:10:08.545 --> 0:10:10.945 men's sneaker. It's not that I wear them oversized. I've 0:10:10.985 --> 0:10:12.905 just got big feet. That was a bit of a segue. 0:10:12.985 --> 0:10:15.785 But men's is a great way to try this trend. 0:10:16.145 --> 0:10:21.105 Absolutely, and I'll second the uniclow. I wear the basic teas. 0:10:21.145 --> 0:10:24.785 They're so good because you get extra coverage with your sleeves. 0:10:25.265 --> 0:10:28.065 I know, I hear often from women they want a 0:10:28.065 --> 0:10:30.865 little bit more coverage on their arms with their te's. 0:10:30.985 --> 0:10:34.865 You know, sometimes women teas can be quite fitted in 0:10:34.905 --> 0:10:38.865 the sleeve, so agreed, a little bit more floatiness in 0:10:38.905 --> 0:10:41.625 your sleeve. A men's tea is a really great option. 0:10:41.905 --> 0:10:45.865 Annoyingly, they're oftentimes more affordable. Yeah, like that's a whole 0:10:45.945 --> 0:10:57.785 other topic. So you touched on you being petite, and 0:10:57.785 --> 0:10:59.905 I guess I'm petite too, So you can get swallowed 0:10:59.905 --> 0:11:02.905 by fabric, So that's important. What about a large bust. 0:11:03.025 --> 0:11:06.345 I always hear from friends saying I can't do oversize 0:11:06.425 --> 0:11:08.505 because I have a large bust and it just looks 0:11:08.545 --> 0:11:09.585 too foxy. 0:11:09.985 --> 0:11:13.145 If you're fuller in the bus, like you said, it 0:11:13.185 --> 0:11:16.745 can make you appear boxy when you're wearing like floaty 0:11:16.825 --> 0:11:20.465 things on the top. But if you, for example, wanted 0:11:20.505 --> 0:11:22.385 to wear a blazer, you might want to add a 0:11:22.425 --> 0:11:25.745 little bit more structure in your shoulder. When we're looking 0:11:25.865 --> 0:11:28.465 at your button down t's and your T shirts, you 0:11:28.505 --> 0:11:30.465 want to create a little bit of space between your 0:11:30.545 --> 0:11:33.065 chest and your chin, So you might hot for a 0:11:33.145 --> 0:11:36.505 V neck unbton the button down shirt a little bit 0:11:36.545 --> 0:11:41.025 more so you're exposing your decklopage area, and then maybe 0:11:41.105 --> 0:11:43.425 you want to pair it back with something that's a 0:11:43.465 --> 0:11:46.025 little bit more fitted on bottom. 0:11:46.265 --> 0:11:48.865 I was thinking, like the Levis wear G jeans, they're 0:11:48.945 --> 0:11:51.345 so good, they're so flattering, and they're just kind of 0:11:51.345 --> 0:11:54.385 a straight leg, and that with an oversized anything on top. 0:11:54.785 --> 0:11:56.745 You don't have to wear skinny skinny to make the 0:11:56.945 --> 0:11:59.705 juxtaposition or the balance. You can still just do sort 0:11:59.705 --> 0:12:02.505 of a beautiful straight leg pant or even a mini. 0:12:02.545 --> 0:12:04.705 I find, you know, if you love your legs, I 0:12:04.705 --> 0:12:07.145 think like a cool oversized blazer where it almost hits 0:12:07.145 --> 0:12:09.385 where the mini hits as well, is just so cool. 0:12:09.705 --> 0:12:12.385 Yeah, I love that look, and I don't know if 0:12:12.425 --> 0:12:16.705 you've seen, you probably have scandy girls wearing the oversized 0:12:16.705 --> 0:12:18.865 tees over the sheer dresses. 0:12:19.145 --> 0:12:21.945 A few weeks ago, I tried my first version of that. 0:12:21.985 --> 0:12:25.105 I wore like a lacy white long sleeve maxi skirt 0:12:25.185 --> 0:12:27.425 and then a cool like blue which is very not 0:12:27.545 --> 0:12:31.225 me long T shirt out did not feel like myself. 0:12:31.265 --> 0:12:32.785 I was a bit scared, but I felt really good. 0:12:32.785 --> 0:12:35.065 And guess what, I was so comfortable didn't need to 0:12:35.065 --> 0:12:36.865 tuck my T shirt in when I went for a wee. 0:12:37.545 --> 0:12:38.305 I loved it. 0:12:38.465 --> 0:12:41.505 That's what we're talking about being intentional. So you're playing 0:12:41.585 --> 0:12:44.345 with texture, playing with proportions, you're having a bit of 0:12:44.345 --> 0:12:45.185 fun with your style. 0:12:45.465 --> 0:12:48.425 And I think also with oversize, it generally kind of 0:12:48.505 --> 0:12:51.225 leans towards masculine, So pairing it with something that is 0:12:51.305 --> 0:12:53.305 hyper feminine like a lace or a silk or a 0:12:53.345 --> 0:12:56.585 satin kind of gives you that balance, even if it's 0:12:56.625 --> 0:12:58.465 not so much in the proportions, it's just more in 0:12:58.505 --> 0:12:59.145 the aesthetic. 0:12:59.425 --> 0:13:00.025 I agree. 0:13:00.225 --> 0:13:03.585 Now, let's talk about fabrics, because can all fabrics be oversized? 0:13:03.625 --> 0:13:05.345 I thought about this and I thought they can be. 0:13:05.545 --> 0:13:08.265 But then I thought maybe it's best for sort of 0:13:08.345 --> 0:13:11.905 stiffer or structure and fabrics because I always size up 0:13:12.145 --> 0:13:14.985 maybe two sizes for a slip dress. But I wouldn't 0:13:15.025 --> 0:13:17.865 say that that is then oversize. It more just falls 0:13:17.905 --> 0:13:20.145 better than grabs on my lumps and bumps. So what 0:13:20.225 --> 0:13:22.225 kind of fabrics do you think we'd look for for 0:13:22.385 --> 0:13:23.505 oversized to look good. 0:13:23.945 --> 0:13:27.385 I think cotton is really great, which also leans into 0:13:27.665 --> 0:13:31.105 like a denim. You could do a denim shack oversized. 0:13:31.665 --> 0:13:35.825 I think even chunky oversized knits work really well if 0:13:35.865 --> 0:13:38.425 we into winter. But we don't want to talk about 0:13:38.425 --> 0:13:39.985 winter too much because I'm here for. 0:13:40.065 --> 0:13:42.345 Oh, you never know if the weather I'm still doing 0:13:42.385 --> 0:13:44.265 a knit with a mini or a short because you 0:13:44.345 --> 0:13:45.545 just don't know what's going to happen. 0:13:45.905 --> 0:13:48.705 Yeah, and I'm in Victoria and the weather is just 0:13:48.825 --> 0:13:52.065 so up and down, so can't pack them away just yet. 0:13:52.425 --> 0:13:54.985 And also I guess the oversized blazers and the oversized 0:13:54.985 --> 0:13:58.425 sort of wide leg pants, they're kind of tailoring structured 0:13:58.465 --> 0:14:00.345 in a way, and that's when I think oversize looks 0:14:00.385 --> 0:14:03.745 best when it's sort of still powerful rather than sort 0:14:03.745 --> 0:14:05.225 of sloppy, if that makes sense. 0:14:05.385 --> 0:14:06.545 Linens are really good. 0:14:07.185 --> 0:14:11.585 Yes, what I would avoid it is really clinging kind. 0:14:11.465 --> 0:14:14.505 Of fabrics like jersey in oversize. 0:14:13.825 --> 0:14:16.545 That's just gonna get annoying. I agree, Jerseys not an 0:14:16.545 --> 0:14:20.265 oversized fabric to go with is oversized casual. Can we 0:14:20.305 --> 0:14:23.265 do oversized dressy? Do you think? 0:14:23.585 --> 0:14:27.185 I think you can. It just depends how dressy you 0:14:27.265 --> 0:14:30.385 want to go. Like we were talking about before, you 0:14:30.425 --> 0:14:36.265 can do oversize tea over say a more dressier dress 0:14:36.385 --> 0:14:38.705 like silk, and you can pop on heels and that 0:14:38.745 --> 0:14:41.225 becomes more elevated. If you want to dress that down, 0:14:41.265 --> 0:14:42.945 you swap out the heels to some sneakers. 0:14:43.145 --> 0:14:45.225 I was thinking, you know, coming into event season and 0:14:45.265 --> 0:14:46.945 summer and all the things that've got going on, can 0:14:46.945 --> 0:14:49.145 you really do oversize to like an event and event? 0:14:49.665 --> 0:14:52.105 And for me, I'm seeing some beautiful sort of maxi 0:14:52.145 --> 0:14:54.945 dresses that just sort of fall they're almost like smock dresses. 0:14:54.985 --> 0:14:58.185 And I thought, does that fall into oversize? I don't 0:14:58.225 --> 0:15:00.585 think it really does, because when we're talking oversized, we're 0:15:00.625 --> 0:15:05.025 talking more structure, shoulder sleeve. But it's not to say 0:15:05.065 --> 0:15:07.825 that you can't just wear a big, beautiful, flowy dress. 0:15:07.905 --> 0:15:10.025 But I would probably wear something if I I needed 0:15:10.025 --> 0:15:12.185 something to cover up, I'd probably wear something a little 0:15:12.185 --> 0:15:14.625 bit more fitted if the dress is really flowy. Would 0:15:14.665 --> 0:15:15.225 you agree? 0:15:15.465 --> 0:15:16.105 I agree? 0:15:16.345 --> 0:15:21.465 Accessories, how do we accessorize and oversize? Looked? Because visually 0:15:21.785 --> 0:15:24.585 oversize is quite a statement already. What are your tips 0:15:24.625 --> 0:15:25.465 with accessrizing? 0:15:25.705 --> 0:15:30.625 Like you said, sometimes if the blazer is quite oversized 0:15:30.665 --> 0:15:33.025 and maybe it's got some shoulder pads to add a 0:15:33.025 --> 0:15:36.625 little bit more structure, that's the statement. But then maybe 0:15:36.665 --> 0:15:39.705 you want to do something with a statement earring or 0:15:39.745 --> 0:15:43.385 your bag is the statement. I mean, you can go nuts. 0:15:43.425 --> 0:15:44.785 It depends how far you want. 0:15:44.705 --> 0:15:45.385 To go with your ex. 0:15:45.505 --> 0:15:46.665 Yeah, and how confident you are. 0:15:46.745 --> 0:15:46.945 Yeah. 0:15:47.185 --> 0:15:50.225 I just think sometimes also the accessories make the outfit, 0:15:50.345 --> 0:15:52.705 Like if it is a simple oversized blazer with jeans 0:15:52.705 --> 0:15:55.385 and a T shirt, A killer necklace, just a chunky 0:15:55.425 --> 0:15:58.105 necklace or charm necklace is a huge I love whatever 0:15:58.185 --> 0:15:59.905 you're wearing at the moment. What is that? That's a 0:15:59.905 --> 0:16:00.825 beautiful necklace. 0:16:01.025 --> 0:16:04.025 Yeah, this one's by an Australian label called Gimme and 0:16:04.065 --> 0:16:05.385 it's a chunky necklace. 0:16:05.825 --> 0:16:06.985 Yes, I know her. 0:16:07.345 --> 0:16:11.225 She's gorgeous, lovely. Oh you did a color yet. 0:16:10.745 --> 0:16:12.425 I did do a collub with them. I did my 0:16:12.425 --> 0:16:14.945 own little range and that's it. You know, it might 0:16:14.985 --> 0:16:17.385 be that simple gray blazer that doesn't feel that spacih, 0:16:17.665 --> 0:16:19.385 but you're still kind of got the nod to the 0:16:19.425 --> 0:16:21.345 oversize and then you chuck on the necklace and you're 0:16:21.345 --> 0:16:25.705 feeling quite eclectic. Now listen. Common mistakes people make when 0:16:25.785 --> 0:16:28.505 trying to do oversize. Is it that they're just wearing 0:16:28.545 --> 0:16:31.585 something that's not the right cut or fit. 0:16:32.185 --> 0:16:34.865 I think it just we circle back to if you're 0:16:34.905 --> 0:16:39.785 wearing oversized everything and you're drowning in fabric, if you're 0:16:39.825 --> 0:16:43.105 not adding extra accessories, if you're not going the extra 0:16:43.185 --> 0:16:48.625 distance to style your outfit. I personally, when I'm wearing oversize, 0:16:48.665 --> 0:16:52.465 I really like to wear something oversized and then something fitted. Yes, 0:16:52.665 --> 0:16:55.905 for today, I'm wearing an oversized tea, but like you've 0:16:55.945 --> 0:16:58.625 done a little tuck into my LEXI skirt. 0:16:58.825 --> 0:17:00.505 Oh cute. Oh, I need to see for that fit 0:17:00.585 --> 0:17:02.945 for me again. I think it's also the shoulders. You know, 0:17:03.305 --> 0:17:05.225 if it's meant to sort of have a square shoulder 0:17:05.225 --> 0:17:08.705 pad situation, it really needs to still, you know, be 0:17:08.785 --> 0:17:12.425 an intentionally oversized blazer but in your size type thing. 0:17:12.465 --> 0:17:15.185 Whereas coming out of winter. But I still wear a 0:17:15.185 --> 0:17:17.345 lot of bomber jackets. But all the bomber jackets were 0:17:17.385 --> 0:17:19.705 so cropped that I sized up quite a bit. It 0:17:19.745 --> 0:17:22.505 created sort of a drop shoulder, but I quite liked that. Yes, 0:17:22.825 --> 0:17:24.785 So I think it depends on the piece, and I 0:17:24.785 --> 0:17:27.625 think it's really important to try them on, you know, 0:17:27.785 --> 0:17:30.065 either shop online where you can return, or go to 0:17:30.105 --> 0:17:32.025 a store. I now, because I used to just go 0:17:32.105 --> 0:17:34.065 that's my size off, I go. Now I'll take three 0:17:34.105 --> 0:17:37.385 different sizes of the same item into the change room 0:17:37.385 --> 0:17:38.705 and go, Okay, how am I going to wear this? 0:17:38.865 --> 0:17:41.385 What size is the most versatile, which size is comfortable? 0:17:41.625 --> 0:17:42.905 Do I want to do it up? Do I not? 0:17:43.025 --> 0:17:43.105 Do? 0:17:43.185 --> 0:17:44.945 I want to be able to do both. So I 0:17:44.985 --> 0:17:48.745 think even just when shopping items that aren't oversized, take 0:17:48.785 --> 0:17:50.945 a few sizes to the change room and then see 0:17:50.945 --> 0:17:53.825 what feels best. Because oftentimes that number on the tag 0:17:54.105 --> 0:17:56.305 isn't necessarily going to be the best for that item. 0:17:56.625 --> 0:18:00.985 Yeah, I totally agree, and also have fun with what 0:18:01.025 --> 0:18:04.505 you're pairing that we add some texture, add some different 0:18:04.545 --> 0:18:07.785 silhouettes with it, because sometimes you just might be trying 0:18:07.825 --> 0:18:11.905 on something oversized, a piece that you're already walked into 0:18:11.945 --> 0:18:13.865 the change room with it, and maybe that doesn't go 0:18:13.985 --> 0:18:14.305 with it. 0:18:14.465 --> 0:18:17.025 Yes, get at home and play and you know, pair 0:18:17.065 --> 0:18:18.665 it with the things that you didn't think would work. 0:18:18.705 --> 0:18:20.505 Look in the mirror, it might not work. The ones 0:18:20.545 --> 0:18:22.345 that do work. Snap a photo, save it in a 0:18:22.345 --> 0:18:24.425 folder in your phone, and then when you don't know 0:18:24.425 --> 0:18:26.905 what to wear, you open that folder and off you go. Now, 0:18:26.945 --> 0:18:29.065 before we get into bougie and budget, we're gonna both 0:18:29.105 --> 0:18:33.625 bring specific oversized recommendations. Do you have some favorite brands 0:18:33.745 --> 0:18:37.265 or stores or you know labels that do oversize? 0:18:37.305 --> 0:18:40.545 Well, I sure do so, Ina Pelly. 0:18:40.585 --> 0:18:43.225 Yes, beautiful, I think Melbourne based brand. 0:18:43.465 --> 0:18:45.505 Yes, yeah, they're down the road from me on the 0:18:45.545 --> 0:18:50.865 surf coast. Ah. And also we both love a Camilla 0:18:50.905 --> 0:18:52.265 and Mark blazer. 0:18:52.465 --> 0:18:55.785 Yes don't we all? I always, if I can get there, 0:18:55.865 --> 0:18:58.585 go to the sample sale or their warehouse sale. Because 0:18:58.585 --> 0:19:02.105 they're so expensive. However, the quality is phenomenal. 0:19:01.745 --> 0:19:04.145 Absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if you've heard of this 0:19:04.305 --> 0:19:08.585 Gold Coast brand called Sabi No. So they do these 0:19:08.705 --> 0:19:13.825 really a click deep oversized teas and they're blowing up. 0:19:13.865 --> 0:19:15.865 They're probably all over my feet and don't know where 0:19:15.865 --> 0:19:18.625
