Supersized Silhouettes


This year’s A/W Catwalk went bigger ever! Whether it was Oversized Knits, Baggy Trousers,or your ‘Boyfriend’s’ Suit Jacket, Fashion went up a size (yet the models remained the same)


Large fashion can be daunting especially if you are short or maybe a little curvy, but fear not its all about sizing it the right way so you’re not drowning in garments.


Baggy Trousers is a huge fear of mine as I live in skinny and straight fit but this year is about venturing out of your comfort zone and experimenting with shapes.  Nobody wants to look like MC Hammer so its all about feminising them and adding your own twist.  Teaming them up with a tight crop and fitted blazer can add a whole new look to and a cute feminine twist and at the same time keeping up with the  female suit which is also occurring on this years catwalk.


Oversized Knits is a personal favourite of mine. They look casual and cosy and at the same time are bang on trend. I love to team up my baggy sweaters with large necklaces and skinny trousers/jeans. Dark coloured sweaters however can make you look a bit  unkempt so maybe opt for a cute pastel coloured one to stay cute and comfortable.


Last but at no means least is the full skirt. I love everything about 50s fashion and to see the full skirts on the catwalk was a great excuse to let out my inner 50s girl. Full skirts that cinch you in at the waste are super flattering especially if you carry your weight in the middle. If you want to go full on 50s team it up with a cute peter pan collar shirt or you can be bang on trend and team it up with a baggy cropped knit.


You can do it go big or go home!
