Fashionable Clothing Keywords (1) “The Oversized Trend is Advancing, and Even Bottoms are Becoming BIG Silhouettes!
In line with the oversized tops that have been trending for several years, oversized silhouettes have gradually become the mainstream for pants as well; around 2020, the mainstream silhouette was a loose silhouette, but it was only loose around the waist and tapered to a narrow hem width.
