I've got a smaller one that gets used for layering and under jackets, the big one gets worn on its own.

Otherwise they have to be of&nbsp; a more thin fabric.&nbsp; It sounds like you have a cute denim shirt and I would keep it only if you want to wear it on its own or as a shirt over a t or something, but not as an under something shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-an-oversized-denim-shirt#post-1262320 Tue, 27 May 2014 20:19:36 +0000 Niefern 1262320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I know exactly the problems you are describing Nidhi. The other day I was about to buy a denim shirt and I had the same issues. The shirt&nbsp;was my size (shoulders and arms&nbsp;fit perfectly)&nbsp;but&nbsp;It was a bit too loose in the waist and hip area.</p> <p>I think you should return it because you can't wear it the way you intended!</p> <p>I vote return!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-an-oversized-denim-shirt#post-774691 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:02:08 +0000 Inge 774691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure it looks too "flowy", Nidhi, or do you think your eye might still need to adjust to the new silhouette? Perhaps you can post a picture?<br /> I really do love the sound of all three looks you tried.</p> <p>You could also try wearing it untucked over black straight-legged jeans, slim fitting trousers or ponte knit pants. Add a blazer or jacket for a fun dressier look or to add warmth.<br /> I also love it worn in the column of denim formula Angie wrote ago a while back:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/01/25/outfit-formula-column-of-denim-with-spring-accents/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/01/.....g-accents/</a></p> <p>Here are a few other blog posts that might help too:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/01/how-to-wear-denim-shirts/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....im-shirts/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/08/19/a-dressy-spin-on-denim-shirts/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/08/.....im-shirts/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/01/denim-shirt-ensemble-dressy-skirt/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....ssy-skirt/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/11/denim-on-denim-denim-shirt-with-white-jeans/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....ite-jeans/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/11/denim-on-denim-shirt-and-jeans-in-the-same-wash/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/.....same-wash/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/12/02/autumn-mom-on-the-go-flop-proof-outfit-7/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/12/.....-outfit-7/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-an-oversized-denim-shirt#post-774523 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 19:28:42 +0000 rachylou 774523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the chicest woman wearing a light blue denim shirt, dark denim pants, and granny boots - tan two-tone. I don't even like denim, but it made me want to run out and get some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-an-oversized-denim-shirt#post-774496 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:50:20 +0000 Nidhi 774496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought an oversize denim shirt from Kohl's overthe weekend in a light wash. It has 3/4 sleeves that can be tabbed as well. I tried to copy this look rom Audrey <a href="http://www.puttingmetogether.com/2012/01/smarty.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.puttingmetogether.c.....marty.html</a> with a similar looking stripey sweater but the shirt bunched up underneath and the edges (that are visible) kind of flared out like a frock :(<br /> Tried it untucked over skinnies and a belt around the waist but it looked all bunched up again :(<br /> I next tried it on sans the belt with my new Uniqlo cord leggings in brown (<a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/made-for-all/women-corduroy-easy-leggings-pants/073623-16-002" rel="nofollow">http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store.....623-16-002</a>) and it didnt look too bad - only thing being that the DH took a double take seeing me because at first glance it looked like I wasn't wearing any pants!!<br /> Tucked into a polka dotted navy skirt from A&amp;F (<a href="http://compare.ebay.com/like/370688090309?var=lv&#038;ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&#038;var=sbar" rel="nofollow">http://compare.ebay.com/like/3.....8;var=sbar</a>) but it looks like oversized over flowy do not a good marriage make.<br /> Any suggestions before I change my mind and return it? :((( </p>
