Fall fashion trends: the oversized look is killing me

Filed in archive Fashion and Style on August 22, 2006

According to style.com, oversized clothes are in for this fall season. And let me tell you straight in the eye that I am already getting depressed because I do not see any way of clothing like this covering my body. Ever.

There is a mass of reasons for this, from the most obvious ones, as this: Oversized clothes make you look chubby, and that's the truth. Only skinny girls will look fragile and romantic in pants looking like they have been made from two dresses, or in coats looking like they have been stolen from a homeless person. I need my clothes to fit properly and my jeans tight as possible in order to look good. I do exercise and am satisfied with my body - so I want to show its contours, not make it look fat.

The less obvious reason for not wearing oversized clothing (at least to the blind trend followers) is the great chance of looking ridiculous, as Go Fug Yourself successfully pointed out on danni Minogue. People might get stupefied by yards of fabric covering your body, but on the other hand, you could make someone laugh, providing therefore a good community service.

What do you think my darlings, will you be sporting the oversized look?
