The oversized trend is ready to take over the United States in the fall-winter 2024 fashion collections. What began by appearing in isolated pieces from several of the most famous brands in the world (including Zara), has now become the thread driver of pieces that combine fashionista pretensions with the need to stay warm starting in October, when the thermometer begins to drop.
In 2024, oversized garments represent the purest form of relaxation and ease, being the conceptualization of a bold and confident attitude, fusing elegance with a carefree air. The key is to play with proportions and balance the spacious with the structured, creating looks that feel modern, but with that avant-garde touch that characterizes this trend. We show you four pieces from Zara that you are about to see everywhere: even celebrities are going to have their sights on them, I assure you.
Understanding Oversized Garments
These types of garments have a wider silhouette than what would be considered a standard size. In simple terms, it is a garment that is “too” big for the person wearing it, and that also has lower shoulders than a regular garment.
The width and length are, in general, larger and sometimes even cover the hands. The silhouette is generally straight and without much emphasis on the waist, which accentuates the effect of width. The type of oversized garments can be sweatshirts, jackets, bomber jackets, sweaters, and even pants (including mom jeans and cargo pants).
Zara’s Oversized Garments That Are Ready to Take over the Fall-Winter Season
Animal prints are back. Well, they never really left, but they reinvent themselves in 2024 during the fall-winter season. This faux fur coat is the wild piece that splits your wardrobe in two, a reinvented classic that comes straight from the most exclusive catwalks in Europe to Zara stores in the United States. The oversized silhouette, the undisputed trend of the season, provides a relaxed and sophisticated air at the same time, with a wide, enveloping lapel collar.
The wide, slightly dropped sleeves give a fluid and flattering movement to any dress, while the side pockets, discreetly integrated into the seams, are practical and functional to hide your hands from the cold during a night of drinks on a cold autumn night, or a dinner outing with your partner that pairs perfectly with skinny pants, or a long ankle-length skirt. Even over a black tight dress, it will look beautiful. It’s available now at Zara stores and their website for $129, and is available in sizes from XS to XXL.
Oversized Bouclé Coat — Zara Fall-Winter Collection 2024
It is clear that oversized pieces are setting the tone to follow, and we predict that this bouclé coat from Zara will be one of the brand’s bestsellers this season. The large lapel collar, long, wide sleeves, and diagonal side pockets are beautifully executed by Zara tailors.
The textured bouclé fabric in cream color makes it perfect to combine with jeans and boots, for a casual chic look, or for transitions between one place and another when you are going to a formal event or commitment. A skirt and pantyhose, for a classic ‘Old Hollywood’ outfit, could become your new favorite looks. The price is $109 and it is available from XS to XXL.
Zara Knitted Dress for In-Between Seasons
Here is a cute knitted dress from Zara that is also part of the oversized ideas that we have been discussing. It is a combination between a turtleneck sweater and a midi dress, which can be combined with leggings, skinny jeans, or jogger pants, making it versatile and adaptable to mix in various types of outfits.
The long sleeves, which cover up to the wrist, keep you protected from the cold. It is already present in Zara stores throughout the United States and the price is $49.90.
