Summer Style: Oversized Tops and Kurti

Summers are known for flares, ruffles, drapes and flowy silhouettes. Nothing beats oversized clothes when it comes to looking like a style diva during sizzling summers. The ultra large sized clothing trend was one of the hot style mantras of the 80s, and one of the rare good ones that the fashion disaster decade had to offer. Back in the 80s, oversized sweaters and t-shirts were often paired with an ultra tight mini-skirt, a pair of leggings or the timeless blue denim. A chunky waist belt or an elegant slim belt completed this stylish ensemble. Oversized tops or dresses were fashionable back then and these are equally stylish right now. However, it's not as easy as it seems to pull off oversized clothes with much style, whether it's the trendy oversized tops and dresses or the oversized ethnic Readymade Kurti.

Kurtis or Readymade Kurtis featuring flared silhouette are India's answer to the oversized clothes trend that's hot in the West. Flared Kurtis such as crushed cotton Kurti, crinkled chiffon Kurti, faux georgette Kurti, caftan style Kurti, caftan tops, crushed silk Kurtis and such similar varieties are an absolute favourite for summers. These are unbelievably comfortable and incredibly chic if styled the right way. Flared Kurtis or oversized Kurtis are often minimally embellished staying true to the casual chic look that these are meant to evoke. The most important feature to concentrate on when picking an oversized and flared Kurti is to ensure that it fits right. As ironical as it may sound, the right fit is quite important when it comes to these kinds of Kurtis. Such Kurtis may not be body fitting, but at the same time it's not right to buy a regular Kurti in extra large size and trying to pass it off as an oversized Kurti. There is a very marked difference between the two. Ideally, Designer Kurtis featuring flared silhouette should be mid-thigh in length. Oversized tops or Kurtis are meant to be loose fitting but never sloppy. Thus, no matter how loose fitting an oversized Kurti may be, the shoulder seam of the Kurti is always supposed to fit normally at the shoulder or might extend to not more than one to two inches below the shoulder. The way the shoulder seam fits is of utmost importance, especially in case of oversized clothing, since that helps define the whole look as casually chic instead of horribly sloppy.

Where can I buy an oversized, off shoulder, black sweater?

I've checked Forever 21, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, Metropark, Nordstrom, Charlotte Russe, Topshop, Delia's, and Alloy...

I'm looking for a cheap one, like a knit sweater, but I want it to be long. It doesn't have to be too oversized.

Alloy has this one:
