12 influencer-approved ways to style oversized tops
1. Oversized Denim Jacket + Crop Top + Midi Skirt + Boots + Shades
The list of wonders a good ole denim jacket has is endless. Rocking one in a boxier cut and a more faded wash instantly signals suburbia, making for a 'fit that's as Pinterest-worthy as it is comfortable.

2. Oversized Black Shirt + Straight Leg Jeans + White Sneakers + Handbag
Sometimes, less is more, and this on-the-go look of Bella Racelis is proof. She lets her loose black tee lay freely over her denims, capping things off with her sneakers and handbag for a head-to-toe neutral get-up that'll look good on anyone.
3. Oversized Tie Dye Shirt + Baggy Jeans + Chunky Sneakers
The uber colorful, baggy tie-dye tee isn't just reseved for beach days anymore. Let Bianca Gan show you how easy it is to sport one for a day out in the city, as she wears her black and teal shirt with a roomy pair of jeans and some delightfully chunky trainers.

Oversized graphic tees were made for casual days out. The best way to rock them is to just let them hang over your bottoms and to slip into some cool sneakers.

8. Oversized Denim Jacket + Crop Top + Printed Shorts + Platform Sandals + Crossbody Bag
Chelsea Valencia shows us a trick to wearing animal print yet still appearing low-key: Pair it with a black crop top and cover it all up with a boxy denim jacket. The leopard print still peeks through, but the overall look is a bit more on the chiller side, perfect for mall days.
9. Oversized Polo + Denim Shorts + Tote Bag + Panama Hat + Shades
Time to hit up the beach? Ira Denise Oyco has a great outfit idea for you—borrow your dad or brother's largest polo and tie it up in the front, resulting in a laidback but chic look that'll be perfect for strolling on the sand. Don't forget your hat and sunnies!
