Oversized? Yes please!

So recently I was flicking through my old Company magazines (seriously gotta love Company) as I was doing some collaging, only to find a little piece of text that's really been how I've been feeling fashion-wise recently.... "The hourglass is old news, it's all about the oversized look". It sums up the look of many guys and gals (or guys and dolls), and I hope it's a trend that's here to stay! Now, everything Company utters is gospel to me, since I'm such an avid reader, but this struck me as bang-on. I can't remember quite which issue it was from, but if I find out, I'll add it to the bottom of this post. So many thanks to Company for providing some much-appreciated inspiration (not much-needed yet, since I'm still brimming with ideas... Well, sorta!) and I've hunted around the internet shopping world (oh, what a wonderful world) and found some of my picks. Let's have a look~

1. House of Holland oversized Tee-dress - I really love this dress, it's very loose and flattering as well as being BOT (yep, I did steal that from Company. And it means bang-on-trend if you didn't know). The bright colours caught my eye and I've been hankering (unexpected word usage) after some tights from them too.

2. River Island oversized light wash denim jacket - denim's really 'in' right now, or so I hear and I think this jacket's perfect, especially if you wanna tone down the denim look and avoid totally bleached or acid washed pieces (but then again, who doesn't love a bit o' acid wash). 

3. Susie Tuesday at ASOS Marketplace vintage oversized blazer - this is such a unique piece (and of course, I had to throw a little vintage into this post) and it could be really versatile (plus it's on sale, win win, right?) 

4. Topshop leather oversized biker jacket - every girl needs a leather jacket (in my opinion) and this one is one of my favourite since most leather jackets are fitted. It's refreshing to see an oversized one. 

5. ASOS petite rocco boyfriend jeans - not hugely oversized, but I'm in love with the boyfriend jeans that have been hitting the high street recently. 

Well, I hope you found this post useful (if not, then at least quite interesting).

Are you rocking the oversized look? Or do you prefer a good pair of skinny jeans and fitted jacket? 

Take care,
