In the mood for something new? Every season, fashion brings new trends to spice up your wardrobe. This year, it offers a stunning new look that attracts attention with its name alone: the boxy style. Rectangular and with a straight cut, it showcases tops and creates a versatile silhouette. What you need to know about boxy shirts, sweaters, blouses, and jackets – find it out here!
What is the Boxy Look?
The term boxy style describes a very special cut that is defined only by the shape. Boxy sweaters, blouses, jackets and shirts all feature this special cut. They are extremely comfortable and create a look that is incredibly casual. Boxy fashion refers to tops that are cut loosely and widely. In terms of length, they are usually a little shorter than regular shirts, tops, and blouses. Nevertheless, regular lengths can also be found alongside the cropped version.
The cut itself is straight. Overcut shoulders are also typical for this shape. It creates a silhouette that serves as a contrast to slim cuts. This also explains the name of the boxy style: It vaguely resembles a box. However, the style adds a breath of fresh air to fashion because it breaks with usual habits. It creates a look that plays with contrasts and highlights the silhouette.
Why Boxy Style?
The boxy cut allows for freedom of movement because the loosely falling pieces are not constricting. They also allow plenty of air to reach the skin. Wonderfully comfortable and practical – these are just some of the many advantages of the uncomplicated look. Boxy fashion is also one of the best when it comes to versatility. You can wear the boxy tops with a skirt or slim-fit trousers. When the boxy shirt ends above the waistband, it looks particularly casual. But depending on how you style it, the result can be a casual look or a more elegant outfit. By the way, the loose cut makes the boxy style ideal as a top layer for the layer look: the almost square cut creates exciting contrasts in combination with slim basics.
Boxy shirts
The boxy cut is made for shirts. In a classic straight shape, falling loosely, this shape opens up endless styling options for a cool look. It works in monochrome with an understated appeal as well as with an eye-catching print. When fine fabrics meet the casual fit of boxy shirts, the result is a wonderfully comfortable feel that quickly becomes a favourite. Especially comfortable: cotton sweat quality.
Boxy sweaters
Sweaters in a boxy cut radiate a sense of comfort and at the same time come across as a statement piece. Cosiness is just as important here as being stylish. The silky texture of a viscose blend, for example, looks good and feels wonderfully soft on the skin. Thanks to their versatility, boxy sweaters quickly become an everyday essential – particularly casual as hoodies.
Boxy blouses
With or without sleeves: Boxy blouses are a must. The loose-fitting cut lightens up the classic style of blouses and opens up several ways of wearing them: Buttoned up, they bring a touch of cool to business outfits and an extra dose of laid-back style to casual looks. Thanks to the almost square shape, the blouse can also be loosely knotted at the waist. The choice is yours!
Boxy jackets
Not to forget another must-have in boxy style: boxy jackets. Short and wide creates a cool look. The angular cut of the jackets harmonises with almost any outfit - or provides exciting contrasts to the feminine style. And the choice of styling options is another plus: whether with a satin effect or made of denim.
