Like all trends in both mainstream and eco friendly fashion, there is a margin of error. That is to say, trend is one thing — style quite another, and how you interpret a trend speaks to your own personal style. Having said that, some trends require a bit more explanation and, in our humble opinion, the slouchy tee is one of them. Slouchy and sloppy are not interchangeable, and mastering the slouchy look does not involve buying up two or three sizes. Slouchy is not too big, but is unstructured with looser necks and interesting hems. Still confused? Check out these tops that have slouchy down to a tee.
