Oversized t-shirts are perfectly cute with leggings, but can you wear loose pants with an oversized top? It really depends on the look you’re going for.

If you want an edgy look, then loose pants are a great option. You can go as polished or as wild as you want with the edginess…Or at least within bounds of the dress code in your job.

It’s the loose-on-loose aesthetic though, it’s not for those of you who are scared of making a mistake.

Layers might be easier to pull off than loose-loose.

If you use a sweather and cuorduroy pants, that’s the grandmacore aesthetic:

I know that a lot of you are fans of darker aesthetics though. Oversized t-shirts are an e-kid and grunge classic, but with the right print it’s easy to take the look closer to darkcore. You don’t need to take it too far to get the vibe - dragon shirts work fine most of the time and are still neutral enough to not scare daintier personalities off.

Speaking of which, if you’re looking to dress the oversized t-shirt up, then you might need to go for some lush material.

But how to make it look intentional and not like you just rolled out of bed? Try pairing it with a parka or suit jacket, tuck or half-tuck into some loose pants and add pumps. This will help balance out the volume of the shirt and create a more polished look.

Add some accessories, like a scarf or statement necklace, to really make the outfit pop.

And don’t forget your shoes! It can be a statement pair of sneakers or sandals can really elevate an oversized t-shirt outfit…

Pairing an oversized t-shirt with short used to be the classic Lady Diana outfit. It did have a moment again on Instagram, but it’s a bit played out now. Regardless, you do you!
