The OSS

Feeling sexy is not only about wearing that little black dress. Most men will tell you that there is nothing sexier than a woman in a man’s shirt. Taking this a notch further, here’s our take on the quintessential oversized shirt (OSS). Borrow from your boyfriend, dad or husband or simply invest in one but the oversized shirt must make an entry into your wardrobe this season.

• Start with: A solid colour in bright hues, pastels or a basic white. Then move on to prints like checks, paisley prints and polka dots. The easiest way to wear your shirt is with a pair of high-waist or pleated pants. Tuck in your shirt and wear a pair of Oxfords with a satchel bag for a nerdy look. If you want to be a girly girl then colour block with an A-line skirt and a pair of ballerinas. For those who don’t mind experimenting, wear your shirt long over a maxi skirt and shape it with a thin belt to create the illusion of a long dress.

• For an interview: Wear your OSS with skinny pants and a bowtie, a chic briefcase bag should top that off. A sheer white oversized blouse worn with a pair of sequined shorts and high heels can be a high fashion look for Brunch or High Tea. When you are looking to layer, the oversized shirt makes for an excellent lightweight jacket. For the skinny girls, a large shirt worn with high heels,a slim belt, shorts inside, can make a perfect shirt dress.

• Find them at: Fashion Street, Colaba Causeway, Hill Road, Zara, Guess, Vero Moda, Only are flooded with shirts in every perceivable pattern. Checks and prints in cotton and bright hues in silken finishes are what we recommend for the season. The silken oversized blouse can be worn simply with a pair of comfortable knee-length skirt, a bling watch and a sling bag — a look so simple and elegant that you can never go wrong with it.

So no matter how you choose to wear your OSS, if there is only one thing that you must buy this month then let this be it!
