HOW TO WEAR AN OVERSIZED SHIRT

The catwalk-approved style staple is perfect for summer dressing

Want to add a little polish to your look, but not ready to lose the comfort of your favourite loungewear? Enter the supersized linen shirt. One up from a pyjama top in terms of comfort but a lot more stylish, the boyfriend shirt is a catwalk trend that translates effortlessly into real-world dressing. Fully tuck, loosely tuck, half tuck, half button, wear it shacket style: there are so many ways to style it. Team an oversized pinstripe shirt with chinos or relaxed jeans for an easy weekend look, or try an oversized linen shirt with wide-leg pants for a smarter vibe. For the ultimate in beach dressing, pair a crisp white cotton oversized shirt with your favourite summer swimwear. Just add a beach bag and you’re ready for all-day lounging.
