Oversized coat (from the English oversize - oversize) - a large coat that looks voluminous on the figure. Now this style is very popular, and it originated in the 80s. At the same time, the fashion for a wide coat, narrowed to the bottom, went on. The oversized style is a bit like the so-called boyfriend-style, in which things look like borrowed from a friend or boyfriend.
This style is more suitable for self-confident girls, because oversized clothing does not imply an emphasis on femininity.
For an oversized coat, such features are inherent as:
- Straight lines and clean cut

- There is no underlining of the figure
