Oversized and boxy tshirts are dominating the U.S. streetwear scene, driven by Gen Z’s love for comfort and individuality. Influenced by 2000s nostalgia, soft grunge, and minimalist aesthetics, these bold fits are everywhere—from TikTok trends to celebrity street style. Brands like NXTGEN are leading the shift with heavyweight, structured silhouettes that make a statement without trying too hard. Oversized isn’t just a trend—it’s the new streetwear standard.
