This super forgiving garment is easy-wear for a wide range of body types, and has endless styling capabilities. Belt it for a defined waist, don a cropped blazer to play with proportion, or let your longline piece fall straight down to give off a slimming balance!
Los Angeles Personal Stylist Meg Gallagher has key advice for how to style oversized jacket silhouettes for petites and curvy or full busted women:
For curvy and full-busted women, size down on oversized silhouettes to keep all the trend-right nuances within the shoulder and sleeve without all the bulk.
For petites, keeping the fabric off your wrists is KEY to pulling off an oversized silhouette. Roll up your sleeve, or use a jewelry-like sleeve push-up sleeve garter like this one to gently hold the sleeve in place.
