the slouch factor

Sabrina: I am forever aboard the “slouch lover” train. I love slouchy bags, sweaters, sweatpants and jeans. How do I wear that stuff and not look frumpy?

Sarah, Kiskadee: I love this look. Not only is it fun and cute when done right, it is comfortable! The key to pulling this look off is balance! When wearing an oversized top, try pairing it with a skinny pant or ankle-length boyfriend jean. The key is really showing that little bit of ankle to balance.

My personal slouchy favorite is the slouchy or flowy pant. Pair with a plain tee or an asymmetrical loose top. I love a structured jacket on top, either denim, leather, or a blazer. If weather allows.

Slouchy bags look best with a polished outfit. It can also be cute if you want to go for the grunge look and do the all slouchy pants, top, and bag. Just make sure the asymmetry lines up and isn’t all hitting at your hips, which can weigh you down!
