Who doesn’t adore loose and oversized items? For practical reasons, baggier garbs are comfortable, but they offer a whimsical-meets-hippie vibe that can easily be infused in any wardrobe. The oversized look has been with us for several seasons and is coveted, famously, by the Olsen sisters.

The ideal way to wear something billowing is to pair it with something slimmer at the bottom, whether it be a pencil skirt or skinny jean. This gives balance to the outfit and doesn’t completely hide your figure. On the other hand, designers are often pairing oversized skirts with loose blouses and if you’re daring enough, why not try it? However, I’m sure your fella will be desperate for you to pull out your Herve Leger bandage dresses!

Met Gala 2013
Last night, all fashion eyes were on New York City as it was host to the 2013 Met Gala. Stylish celebrities, designers, icons, socialites and paparazzi showed up to celebrate what’s often referred to as the “fashion Oscars.” With plenty of eye-popping gowns to leave us all envious, there were a few fashion blunders on the red carpet - Kim Kardashian, I’m looking at you.
This year’s theme was “Punk: From Chaos to Couture.” It’s fitting that Christina Ricci showed up in Vivienne Westwood, as Westwood is the queen of punk-chic. Check out some of our favourite Met Gala 2013 looks. Let us know which one is your favourite.
