HOW TO WEAR A WOMEN’S OVERSIZED SHIRT?

Clothes say a lot about us and oversized shirts are the perfect expression of casual elegance. And at LEITA Paris, as you may know, the search for chic and comfort is our quest. Naturally, in the team, we all have a weakness for the oversized shirt which is a fundamental piece of our wardrobe and which we reinvent throughout the capsules. At the end of this article, the oversized shirt will no longer have any secrets for you!

WHAT IS AN OVERSIZED SHIRT?

At Leita Paris, the perfect oversized shirt must meet a first requirement: your comfort. We want you to feel comfortable and for that we provide just the right amount of space (we think for hours about the perfect cut and width of the bust and sleeves). Comfort has no meaning if there is no chic. So we thought about adding details to the collars, button plackets and cuffs. For our first oversized Muse model, we added a Victorian collar and ruffled cuffs. Ultimately, our shirts are a subtle marriage between comfort and style. Designed to flatter all silhouettes, Leita Paris oversized shirts offer fluidity and chic.

The material is also another point that sets our oversized shirts apart from others. At Leita Paris, the materials are certainly super pleasant to wear but they are also eco-responsible. The MUSE shirt is made mainly of EcoVero, a material made from wood pulp from sustainably managed forests. Compared to classic viscose, the production of EcoVero consumes -50% water and emits -50% CO2. Even if this is not how we are going to save the planet, it is always better to use this type of material rather than synthetic materials made from fossil materials, such as polyester. Sustainable fabrics and unique style are all ingredients that will make you feel chic and ethical in all circumstances.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN OVERSIZED SHIRT?

To be perfect, the oversized shirt must be well cut. That’s our business! And we promise you that we spent hours thinking about the ideal cut that suits all body types. On the other hand, your question is to find the right size. And we know that it’s never easy to choose the right size, especially when you can’t try on the model. So to help you we give you two tips.

Firstly, we advise you to take your usual size. We thought of the scale for you. If you like just the right amount of fullness, by taking your usual size, the oversized shirt will suit you perfectly. You'll have comfort without sacrificing style.

Our second piece of advice is for all those who are between two sizes (and we know there are many of them!): take the size down. The advantage of an oversized shirt is that it will never be too small!

HOW TO WEAR AN OVERSIZED SHIRT?

The oversized shirt can be worn all year round, whatever the season. It will twist your outfits from the simplest to the most chic.

First idea, wear your oversized shirt with jeans and you will be perfect. A simple outfit, time spent choosing reduced to 0 and a guaranteed effect. We promise you the compliments will be there.

For winter, we suggest slipping your oversized shirt under a sweater and letting the collar stick out. It works perfectly with the Muse shirt and its Victorian collar. Chic! You can also adopt the layering strategy by adding a turtleneck underneath. We will see the entire shirt and you will be warm.

In spring, opt for a more chic look by pairing your shirt with flowing pants. If these pants are in the same material as the shirt, by tucking them into the pants, you will obtain a combi effect. And to bring a bit of casual to the outfit, wear sneakers.

In summer, wear your oversized shirt with a straight skirt. To contrast the volumes, tuck your shirt completely into the skirt and make it blouse which will highlight its fluidity. EcoVero is a thermo-regulating material which means that you will not feel hot, even in high heat - tested and approved.

Finally, in the fall, when the temperatures drop, combine your oversized shirt with a blazer - in wool for those who are more chilly and let the sleeves stick out. You will be the most chic for the meeting of the year or a drink with friends.

In short, we trust you to create great looks. Share them with us! And if you want even more inspiration, you can find all our look ideas on our Pinterest account.
