Oversized Cotton T-Shirt with Wide Sleeves

An oversized cotton t-shirt with wide sleeves, in six colours

This oversized cotton t-shirt is cut wide on purpose. Infinite You gives one size, with a chest of 134 cm and a total length of 57 cm, so it is broad and fairly short. The sleeves are wide too and stop around the elbow.

The fabric is 92% cotton with 8% lycra. You can choose from blue, green, pink, yellow, black and white, and the supplier says the shirt was designed and sewn in Poland.

At a glance

The piece: one shape, six model numbers

The supplier calls it a loose blouse with wide sleeves and a round neckline. We call it a t-shirt, because that is how it looks and how you will wear it. Each colour has its own model number, from 181271 for blue to 181276 for white, but the size table and the composition are the same for all six.

In the photos the shoulder seam sits well down the upper arm. The sleeve ends in a turned-up cuff, and the neckband is a ribbed band close to the neck. On the back, just under the collar, there is a small dark label. That is the only decoration.

A note on colour names. The supplier's text speaks of mint and purple, while the model records say green and blue. The photos show a soft sage green and a bright cobalt blue, so we use green and blue.

Who it's for

For you if you like room around your arms and waist and still want a shirt with a clear shape. This one hangs from the shoulders like a square, which is why it looks deliberate instead of simply too big.

Because there is one size, the fit depends on you. On a smaller frame it will be very roomy, on a fuller frame it will sit closer. The chest of 134 cm tells you how much space there is.

Fabric and feel: cotton with 8% lycra

The composition is 92% cotton and 8% lycra. That is more stretch fibre than most t-shirts have, and you can see it in the photos: the fabric hangs in broad, smooth folds and holds the square shape of the body.

The supplier does not give a fabric weight, so we can't tell you how thick it is. What the photos do show is that the white and the yellow are not see-through on the model.

Fit and silhouette: broad, short and boxy

There is one size. The maker's table gives a total length of 57 cm and a chest of 134 cm, and those two numbers explain the look. The shirt is wide and ends around the hip on the model.

To judge it for yourself, take a t-shirt you own, lay it flat and measure it from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem. If yours is longer than 57 cm, expect this one to feel cropped by comparison. The width will be generous on almost everyone.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the maker's size table, the same for all six colours. It does not say whether the chest is measured on the garment or on the body; at 134 cm we read it as the full width of the shirt.

Styling: tuck the front, leave the back

In the photos the model tucks a corner of the front into high-waisted jeans and lets the back hang. With a shirt this wide it is the easiest way to show your waist.

The blue one is worn with long light-blue jeans and white trainers. The other colours go with jeans shorts. Both work. For the office, we would take the black or the white with wide trousers and loafers, and for a warm evening the pink over a slip skirt.

When to wear it

This is a shirt for ordinary days. Wear it on a Saturday in town, to a casual office, on holiday over a bikini top or at home when you want to be comfortable and still presentable at the door.

The short sleeves and the open width make it a spring and summer piece. In colder months it works under an open cardigan, as long as the cardigan has wide sleeves too.

Care: follow the label

The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the label sewn into the shirt.

As a general habit with cotton that contains stretch fibre, a cool wash and drying on a hanger are kind to the shape, and bright colours such as the cobalt blue are safer washed with similar colours the first few times.

The wow detail: the turned-up sleeve

Look at the sleeve. It is as wide as the body is, and it finishes in a cuff that is folded back. That fold gives the edge some weight, so the sleeve stands away from the arm a little and the shirt keeps its square outline when you move.
