The easiest and most common way of dealing with an oversized top is to wear a belt. In this way, you can still rock it without looking like an inflated balloon (and by that, we mean all air on the inside).

Another way to make it smaller is to gather the excess cloth to the back and sew it. This is easier than sending it to the tailor’s where they have to cut the sides (which would cost more too).

Oversized shirts make for great outerwear for that deliberate slouchy touch. Just wear it over a plain tee or tank top with a pair of jeans and you’re good to go.
