Upset that Pulp only has your favourite tee in massive sizes? Don't worry here's some tips on how to style oversized tees! Tay, Taylor and Hayley have all been seen rocking 'boyfriend fit' vintage band tees.
Roll up the sleeves of an oversized tee and team it with hot pants or skinny jeans for a laid back look.
Kirsten, Rihanna and Fearne are all wearing band tees with a girly twist.
Want a more feminine look? Try tucking your favourite band tee into a high-waisted skirt or knotting it up at the side.
Perfect for the summer, cut down the sides of a baggy tee like Tay, Kat, Taylor, Avril and Juliet have.
Want to customise your own tee, here's how
You will need a t-shirt (maybe practice with an old t-shirt first, don’t go straight for your favourite) a pair of sharp scissors, a ruler and a pen/pencil/tailors chalk that will show up on your tee.
- Lay your t-shirt out flat on the ground, smooth it out and make sure the hems are straight.
- Measure from the sleeve seam 2 inches up towards the neck and mark. Repeat on the other sleeve.
- Decide how low down you want to cut the sides of your tee (we've gone for 2 inches but you may want it to sit lower or higher) measure down from the armpit seam and mark. Repeat on the other sleeve.
- Make a guideline to cut along. Begin at marker you made on the shoulder and create a smooth line to meet the mark you made under the arm. Repeat on the other sleeve.
- Making sure the back and front of your tee are flat to the floor and the seams are straight, carefully cut along the guidelines you have drawn, cut through both the back and front of the tee (if you work on a hard floor it will help keep your cutting straight) . Repeat on the other side.
- When you've done, neaten up any wobbly cutting and finish it off by placing your thumbs in the tee at the shoulder and armpit (where you've just cut) and gently pull the fabric. This will make the raw edges curl up, and your t-shirt will sit straight.
your finished tee should look something like this...
