Ralph Lauren’s “Big” campaign from 1991 was iconic. The ’80s saw Italian designers like Versace and Armani loosening up silhouettes to combine casual and formal in a way that had never been done before. This bled into the following decade, with Ralph applying the same methodology to prep wardrobe staples.

The big shirt has become a wardrobe Swiss army knife; a reliable jack of all trades that can be wheeled out at any time of the day. They’re season agnostic, so you can pair one up with shorts and a T-shirt in summer, or use it for layering in winter.

Internalized norms — sizing, gender — do not apply with this bad boy. The big shirt operates in its own universe. It does not play by any rules. It is a non-conformist; a renegade; a subversive.
