How To Wear The Oversized Clothes – Baggy Fashion For Guys

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

There was a time when wearing clothes so baggy they needed a staple gun to stay on was less of style move, more your mum making sure you could make it through puberty in the same school blazer.

But if you graduated any time in the last 15 years, chances are you grew up to enjoy clothes that were designed slim and flattering – clothes that didn’t just hang on your shoulders. For the majority of the 21st century, menswear has been dominated by skinny cuts.

Under the influence of Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme and later Saint Laurent, men’s wardrobes were shrink-wrapped around the mid-2000s. It was all muscle shirts, slimline tailoring and indie bands in skinny-fit everything. But in recent years, the fashion pendulum had swung back.

It was partly a reaction to what came before, but the oversized trend also went hand-in-hand with the rise of hip-hop fashion and athleisure into the mainstream. Kanye West’s longline tees and chunky hoodies were one part, the billowing suits of Kim Jones, Demna Gvasalia, Patrick Grant and Virgil Abloh another.

Compared with spray-on jeans and nip-and-tuck tailoring, this is comfort as fashion. Wide-leg trousers, slouchy blazers, boxy tees and blanket

Ah, Spring! The sun is setting a little later every evening, the birds are evidently hosting a world conference outside my window every morning, and the temperatures are finally starting to warm up where I live. The changing seasons are a fantastic time to look through your wardrobe, clean out the pieces you haven’t worn in a year, and identify the gaps you need to fill.

Just this morning, I thought about—wait for it—shorts. At the tail end of last summer, I found myself reaching for pants and jeans more often than my beloved 5-inch inseam shorts. Blame it on changing trends, an aging body, or just being bored with the options out there, but it seems that overnight, I couldn’t fathom wearing the same styles and silhouettes I’d been donning for years. Keep scrolling to shop some of my current favorite pairs.

My goal for this season? To try and find the styles that’ll take me into the summer (and hopefully the next few summers) and keep me looking fresh—a rebrand

Bring No Clothes: Bloomsbury and the Philosophy of Fashion by Charlie Porter review – style revolution | Art and design books

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , , , , , , /

When Virginia Woolf invited TS Eliot down for a country weekend in 1920 she concluded with “Please bring no clothes”. This was not a suggestion that “Tom” should arrive in East Sussex naked. Such a possibility was unlikely anyway since at this point the poet was still working as a buttoned-up clerk at Lloyds Bank. Eliot was famously wedded to his three-piece suit to the point where, Woolf joked, he would have worn a four-piece one if such a thing existed. What she meant by “bring no clothes” was that at Monk’s House they did not dress for dinner, change for church (there was no church), or worry about getting their best clothes grubby in the garden. This was Bloomsbury, albeit a rural version, and the clothing conventions to which the rest of upper-middle-class society had returned after the first world war had no place there.

Fashion journalist Charlie Porter is spot-on with his suggestion that the way the circle thought about clothes was part of a wider revolt against the late-Victorian society in which its members had been raised (Woolf was born in 1882, Eliot six years later). Choosing not to wear black tie for dinner or gloves “in
