love share for oversized outfits, the only silhouette with more thumbs-downs than loves
Source: Statwren, Oversized Is Out, the Wrap Is In (2026). Loves divided by loves plus thumbs-downs on 4,941 tagged outfits, threadcurve.com, Aug 30 to Oct 5, 2026.
Love share is simply loves divided by loves plus thumbs-downs. Across every outfit it is 58%. Oversized is the only silhouette that lands on the wrong side of 50%, and 42% of the reasons readers gave against it were “too frumpy”, against 19% site-wide.
The volume matters. One oversized piece, such as a coat or jacket, scored a 52% love share; oversized head to toe scored 40%.
The finding holds against the other outfits in the same article and in both halves of the field window, so it is not an artefact of which articles featured oversized looks.
