This seems like a signature style for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277482 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 12:33:30 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2277482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This oversized shirt has an interesting longer tail in back and they have set the sleeves up in a good way for choices in how to roll with structure. It comes in a bunch of colors.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277399 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 15:54:11 +0000 Greyscale 2277399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the perspectives! I just ordered the 2. Will report back. And LaPed, yeah, I wear button downs almost every day but this might hit a limit on how many I can own at once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277248 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 19:40:29 +0000 annagybe 2277248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, funnily enough I’ve been eyeballing some oversized button down shirts.<br /> I hope the sea foam works out.<br /> I’d be all over that if it were available in my size<br /> I gonna look at the pics again<br /> ETA I like the 4, I think if the cut were slightly different the 6 would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277245 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 19:23:19 +0000 LaPed 2277245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new seafoam colour caught my eye too! I definitely don’t need anymore button front shirts, so I’ll live out my preppy dreams vicariously. I agree that the 2 fits great if you want a not-oversized but not-too-tailored look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277211 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 16:24:09 +0000 Angie 2277211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size 2 in the original set of pics is a dead right size for a relaxed fluid look. My shirts fit like that - although my Summer linen shirts are oversized. I like both fits! The relaxed fluid fit is more professionally polished. The oversized linen shirts I wear for SUPER casual.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277199 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 12:28:01 +0000 RobinF 2277199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 2 on you. It looks relaxed but not oversized.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277197 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 10:40:18 +0000 Jessikams 2277197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think I’d go any smaller than 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277193 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 07:13:01 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2277193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the 2 is a more relaxed fit than standard. Why not do your usual size, and let the shirt’s style/cut/sizing take care of the rest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2277192 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 06:39:22 +0000 Greyscale 2277192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping this old thread because they just came out with this shirt in pale pastel green - dream come true! Reliving my preppy youth. </p> <p>I ended up with this shirt in size 6, both white and pink, and I wear both very often. Question: if I want to go for a standard/relaxed look rather than oversized for the green one, is the size 2 in my original photos too big? Or maybe it’s perfect aside from slightly long sleeves? I’m trying to avoid ordering three different sizes at once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224391 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:07:10 +0000 Greyscale 2224391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore it yesterday with straight leg jeans that are relatively slim above the knee. I think it would work with any of my straight or slim-straight jeans. I’ll have to see it with skinnies (if the shirt is long enough and the skinnies are relaxed, but I haven’t been wearing skinnies much) or really baggy jeans (might be overwhelming) or wide leg or barrel jeans (proportions might be off).</p> <p>I wear jeans most of the time but I could imagine this shirt with loose gray trousers… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224284 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 09:13:33 +0000 Star (Lise) 2224284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale : Thanks, that makes sense.&nbsp; I have one men's shirt that I bought for myself and it is my size and a little more snug on the hips then I like for the oversized look, and I don't have any hips to speak of (I am more a rectangle or apple shape depending on my weight).&nbsp; I am going off to experiment in DH's closet :)&nbsp; Your 6 fits exactly how I would like mine to.&nbsp; What shape bottoms do you plan on wearing with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224283 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:34:03 +0000 cat2 2224283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale: Have you tried having a tailor take up the sleeves? I have had this done on both my shirts and my husband’s when everything is great but the sleeve length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224280 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 07:00:24 +0000 Greyscale 2224280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star - I go up one size in men's shirts so that they're intentionally oversized.&nbsp;My usual women's size is XS, and my men's oxford shirts (from Everlane and Uniqlo) are size S. The smaller sizes catch on my hips, especially slim cuts. The larger size looks more intentional, as long as I roll the sleeves up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Men's shirts match my shoulder proportions better than women's, so if it weren't for the too-long sleeves, I'd prefer them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224097 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:34:00 +0000 Lesley 2224097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job getting the 6... I was going to chime in with another vote for it!</p> <p>But I was wondering if the problem all along is that you forgot the #1 rule for trying button downs... if you are going to wear it with sleeves rolled, you've got to try it that way before judging the look! It's amazing how, well, buttoned up, they can look before you start injecting your own style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2224001 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 08:22:44 +0000 Star (Lise) 2224001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so cool that you got the 6 in pink and love it.&nbsp; I am curious about wearing men's shirts as you mentioned you do this too.&nbsp; I have been thinking about borrowing some of my DH's unworn ones.&nbsp; Do you wear yours as oversized as well or as a neater fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2223850 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 20:31:36 +0000 Kate 2223850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the size 6. It’s the only one that looks intentionally oversized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2223848 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 20:21:32 +0000 Greyscale 2223848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally managed to nab the pink shirt in size 6, right at the end of my return window! I love it. So the smaller sizes went back.</p> <p>I might also buy the white version when it comes back in stock, because my older white oxford is getting a little yellow in the collar. I like oxford shirts better than poplin for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2218961 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 15:21:22 +0000 unfrumped 2218961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white 6 with rolled sleeves, but I think that white shirts allow more leeway in styling, for some reason- perhaps the neutral classic aspect.<br /> I like the pink 4 and would hang on to it if you have enough return window until you see if 6 available . It may depend on whether you are saying, “ I only wear oversized shirts. or maybe only want new purchases to be oversized “ vs. , “i wear mostly button- front shirts and I want a selection of silhouettes and colors in them” .<br /> For some wardrobes, a particular COLOR item is essential for easy outfit creation ( tops or pants or footwear) , so the color item is “duplicated” but in different sizes or fits to give variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2218954 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 14:47:23 +0000 Greyscale 2218954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had that Cos shirt on my wishlist but decided it would be too long on my short legs - more dress length. I went to a Cos store last month when I was traveling and they didn’t have my size but I held it up in the mirror for a vague sense of it. Still, maybe I’ll order it to try. Meanwhile I’m stalking the Everlane shirt. The store inventory still says they have it at our store but it was nowhere to be found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2218949 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 14:04:04 +0000 lynn 2218949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like the COS shirt! &nbsp;Of your choices, I like the size 6 in pink or white.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how/page/2#post-2218896 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 05:42:49 +0000 Gigi 2218896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the 6.

So far no blue, and I don't think I'm likely to add it, but that pale blue is a very nice color and would work well on me. I like the palest and clearest versions of pastels, nothing dusty. A thin pastel stripe on white would be even better for a "just barely not white" look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how#post-2218468 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 13:41:36 +0000 lyn67 2218468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size 6 in white is gorgeous on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-shirts-how#post-2218444 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 12:41:39 +0000 Helena 2218444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 6 is perfection on you for that relaxed oversized look!
