I love dressing up. On multiple occasions, I have been called "extra" because I always dress up for super casual or lowkey events. I can waste hours on shopping websites scavenging for my next over-the-top outfit.
With that said, anyone who truly knows me knows that I dress completely different at school or on the weekends. I put away my makeup, lock up my frilly dresses and sultry skirts, and dispose of my heels. On a normal day at school, you can catch me makeup-less and wearing a huge t-shirt, Nike shorts, and some type of comfortable shoes. Yes, I am one of those female college students who rocks the not-so-fashionable oversized t-shirt trend.
There is an entire stereotype associated with the trend. Critics call the outfit a cliché style for preppy, college sorority girls. I have never been a fan of labels, so the stigma surrounding the outfit never bothered me. Sure, I'm a sorority girl now, but I have always worn the outfit because it's easy, comfortable, and requires no extra time in my closet when I'm running late (which is 99.9% of the time)--not because I fit the stereotypic criteria.
With that said, I have decided to dedicate this article to the OG outfit I have been rocking since day one. This is a short appreciation poem for big t-shirts and Nike shorts.
You never let me down, and I never seem to frown, when I wear this very lazy gown.
Sometimes it looks as if I don't wear shorts under my shirt, but c'mon I've seen worse outfits at school... worse than dirt.
I might get called basic for adorning this outfit, but at the end of the day I must admit, I am very comfy and that is lit.
Obviously, this outfit is not appropriate for all occasions. But, if you want to feel relaxed on a day-to-day basis I completely support the laid back outfit. Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Stay chill.
