    Expert Answer
    Try to wear fitted jeans or trousers with your oversized jacket. Wearing too many baggy clothes can make your outfit seem big and bulky, and can take away from your body shape. If you're wearing a dark jacket, slip into a contrasting-colored shirt or pair of pants—this helps your jacket stand out.
