How to choose an oversized sweatshirt for your body shape

07 October 2025

Choosing the perfect oversized sweatshirt can seem like a challenge, especially with the variety available on the market. But by taking your body shape into account, you can find the ideal piece that combines comfort and urban style. Understanding your body shape The first step in choosing an oversized sweatshirt is to understand your body shape. Every figure is unique, and each body type has styles that flatter it. Here are a few tips to guide you:

  • Pear-shaped figure: Go for sweatshirts that balance the top and bottom of your body. Choose designs with details at the shoulders and neckline to add volume on top.
  • Apple-shaped figure: Favour a sweatshirt that draws attention upwards or downwards. Designs with asymmetric hems can create an illusion of length.
  • Hourglass figure: For this body shape, choose a sweatshirt that highlights your waist while staying comfortable. A design slightly gathered at the waist could be perfect.
  • Rectangle figure: Look for sweatshirts with details that add volume on top or at the bottom to create the illusion of curves. Think of sweatshirts with pockets or interesting patterns.

Choosing the right fabric The choice of fabric is crucial. Materials such as cotton blends offer both softness and breathability, ideal for every season. For a more structured look, opt for slightly thicker fabrics that will hold their shape without weighing down your silhouette. Colours and patterns Neutral colours such as grey, black or off-white are versatile choices that go easily with a range of outfits. But don't hesitate to add a touch of colour or bold patterns to express your personality and bring energy to your outfit. Accessorising your look An oversized sweatshirt can be styled in many ways. Add a belt to define the waist, or combine it with fitted trousers to balance the volume on top. Clothing and accessories such as scarves, beanies or urban trainers can complete your relaxed look while keeping it on trend. Choosing an oversized sweatshirt to suit your body shape not only gives you optimal comfort, it also enhances your personal style.
