How it's used
Describes clothing that is excessively loose or baggy to the point of looking unkempt or ill-fitting. It carries a slightly negative connotation, implying that the garment lacks structure or makes the wearer look untidy. It is specifically reserved for fashion or apparel rather than general loose objects.
Examples
Your jacket is so oversized, it looks like you stole someone else's clothes.
Don't buy clothes that are too oversized, you will look very sloppy.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a person who is physically overweight, as it strictly refers to the fit of the clothing itself. Using it to describe a person's body shape can be perceived as rude or offensive.
