What is an oversized coat?
Oversize coat (from the English oversize - more than usual size) - a large coat, which looks voluminously on the figure. Now this style is very popular, and it originated in the 80s.

The oversize style is a bit similar to the so-called boyfriend-style, in which things look like borrowed from a friend or boyfriend.
This style is more suitable for self-confident girls, because oversized clothes do not imply an emphasis on femininity.
