Oversized
Oversized refers to cuts intentionally wider and longer than the marked size would suggest.
Why it matters
Oversized shirts are often chosen for a relaxed gym look — with drop shoulders and a longer hem. The prerequisite for a good result: heavy, structured fabric that doesn’t collapse on itself.
In lightweight cotton, oversized looks sloppy fast. Only heavyweight material delivers the deliberately relaxed look.
