Boxy T-Shirts Are Big (Literally)
You’ve probably noticed that the silhouettes of menswear continue to balloon in proportions. Everything from jeans and button-downs are bigger these days. A touch baggy, with a flowy and roomy vibe. And this extends to even the most basic of wardrobe staples. Yes, oversized T-shirts are suddenly everywhere. And as summer 2025 heats up, the boxy tee has emerged as the season's MVP. Loose in the shoulders, generous in the sleeves, and cut with a cropped, square silhouette, these tees aren't just about comfort—they're about attitude.
They nod to '90s skate culture, early-2000s streetwear, and even vintage military basics, but feel totally modern when styled right. Toss one on over a tank, wear it with pleated shorts or poolside with trunks—it works wherever you're going. And unlike slim-fit tees that can cling in the heat, these breathe easy. This summer, the coolest move might just be going bigger.
