I'm glad that you highlighted that. I regularly pair a slouchy Alexander Want-type of tee shirt with structured or more formal bottoms as well, or with a suit to give a less stuffy feel to an otherwise conservative look.
I've been seeing this a lot in NYC now that the weather's turned cool. Lots of lovely ladies dressed like they hijacked their boyfriend's closets. In a very elegant and femme way.
Now THAT is how to rock a pair of trousers! I would never think to combine wide legs pants with an oversized tee but here it is perfection. How does she do it without looking oversized herself? It's probably down to the Italian genes and those fierce platforms I spy peeping from under those high-waisted beauties. Either way I'm both impressed and ever-so-slightly envious. X
I think the oversize does not favor anyone, if it is, fashion is very comprehensive but a beautiful woman does not need large sizes when sulla is small, you can play around with the concept, but not flattering http://www.nouveauclassique.blogspot.com
Cute, but I'm not exactly thrilled here. Her pants are too big, as in really too big. They need to be hemmed and brought in through the buttock region. Too bad for they are truly lovely. Not so thrilled about the top either, would have liked to see a crisp and cleaner looking "real t-shirt", maybe out of silk or pima cotton. She looks relaxed and I love her look, just a tad too sloppy. Love her sunglasses and the jacket looks fantastic, like the other reader I would have loved to see it on her.
When I first saw this, I loved it. Then I looked at the D&G show that you posted, and I loved that… more. I love clothes that fit tight to the body, even though that means that I have to diet occasionally.
I think my favourite part about those pants is the waistline: the thickness of it provides some subtle structure that compliments the breeziness of the leg so well. Love it!
Fantabulous! Nothing precious here–she's somehow like a modern Rosalind Russell or Myrna Loy. Love the fit of the pants, esp. the length; they'll look even better when the back hems get roughed up a bit from being stepped on. The shirt's great, too; it's loose but not billowy and seems to be a real t-shirt (as opposed to something made from a "fashion" fabric forced into t-shirt shape), so it drapes naturally.
Oh, I think the pants are more oversized than the T shirt–having said that they both work beautifully together. And the lady's arms are perfectly toned and shaped to pop out of that tee.

Ha, I love that you think this is oversized. I just see it as non-fitted-tight.
What I notice is the proportion of the trousers. They are a little more oversized to me. A little Katherine Hepburn. Very nice.
