On a recent trip to Delhi, I discovered the joy of over-sized tops. While on my maiden shopping extravaganza at the legendary Sarojini Nagar Market, I found this polka dot sheer button-up blouse and grabbed it immediately; Only cos I L.O.V.E. polka dots. What I did not realise was, that it was not just the print, but the comfort and edginess this top provides that would steal my heart. Now it has become my favourite go-to piece.

The pitch black skinny jeans under the flowing shirt only makes my legs look longer and slimmer; the sheer fabric keeps the garment flowy and does an excellent job of hiding my bulges - even when I'm sitting (what else could I ever want! !?! ) 

And did I mention it looks super-chic? :D

Try it yourself !

How to wear:-

1) Jeans:- Skinny jeans go best with this kind of top. It will make your legs look long and shapely. Feel free to wear loose or tuck in a little for some hip style (if you have a lean body - I, currently have a 'belly problem' so I prefer wearing it loose'). Caution: Never ever wear an over-sized top with bootcut/flared/boyfriend jeans i.e. loose fitting denims!

2) Skirt:- A fitting pencil skirt in any length fits best with such tops. Avoid, frilly designs. Again, wear it loose or tuck it in if you have the figure to go with it.

3) Shorts:- Semi-tucked in or loose look good.  

4) Tights:- If your over-sized top is of thigh length or lower, you can also team it up with leggings/jeggings or opaque stockings.

5) Shoes: - Ideally, avoid wearing it with flats. Boots/Pumps/Ankle-high canvas all would look fine. If you do not have a choice other than ballet pumps or loafers, then roll up your skinnies to ankle length, and roll up your sleeves, to give it a backpacker chic look.

6) Accesories:- Minimal accessories or just a long chain with pendants of your choice would do.

The best part - you don't have to spend gazillions and buy a new top. Just raid your father/brother/boyfriend's closet and walk away in style :D
