§ 01Oversized Doesn't Mean Oversized Sizing

A true oversized T-shirt is designed with different proportions. Its shoulders, chest, sleeves and length work together to create an intentional relaxed silhouette.

§ 021. Look at the Shoulders

Dropped shoulders place the shoulder seam farther down the arm. KHAVYN incorporates this feature specifically to create its oversized silhouette.

§ 032. Check the Body

The body should have relaxed volume while the fabric falls naturally, rather than looking as though the wrong size was selected.

§ 043. Pay Attention to Fabric Weight

KHAVYN uses approximately 220-240 GSM 100% combed cotton so the substantial construction complements relaxed proportions.

§ 054. Don't Ignore Length

Oversized does not automatically mean extremely long. Length must remain proportional to width and shoulder construction.

§ 06Styling Your Oversized T-Shirt

Pair Sage Green or Sand Beige with neutral trousers; use Charcoal Grey for monochrome looks, Mocha Brown for earthy palettes and Dusty Pink for a softer contemporary direction.

100% Combed Cotton | 220-240 GSM | Bio Wash | Pre-Shrunk | Dropped Shoulders | Oversized Fit. Available in Sage Green, Sand Beige, Mocha Brown, Charcoal Grey and Dusty Pink.
