Hip-hop and Streetwear: the evolution of Oversized fashion

Enjoying the oversized style? Come to Prison, we have the perfect item!

So, what's the deal with the oversized wave?

You know that laid-back look you see in rap, funk, and trap music videos, on skate parks, or in the streets? It's all about wearing something that looks like it's two sizes bigger than yours, but with a vibe that draws attention, making you unique . Oversized t-shirts are like that: generally thicker fabric and collars for more freedom of movement and a touch of "you're foreign" to your look.

Where did this whole oversized t-shirt trend come from?

Going back in time, to the 80s and 90s, the hip-hop and skate crowd started rocking oversized clothes. It was a way to express themselves, to take a stand against the norm. Today, this vibe is back in full force and has become a key element in streetwear . It's more than just clothing, it's attitude. Special mention goes to pioneering New York brands that launched streetwear in the 90s.

How to Rock Oversized Clothing

• Balance the Game: An oversized t-shirt calls for something more fitted on the bottom. It creates a clever balance in the look.
• Layering is key: Layering is essential. An open jacket or shirt worn over an oversized top multiplies the style.
• Pay attention to the accessories: A cool belt, some necklaces, bracelets. It's the details that make the difference.
• Sneakers to Finish the Look: A good pair of sneakers or stylish boots completes the oversized look perfectly.
