I thought I’d nailed the oversized blazer trend… but then I saw a photo of me from the back & I realised my fashion fail
IT’S always a bit risky trying out new trends when you don’t know if they’re actually going to suit you.
That’s exactly what Zainab Khan discovered when she tried out the oversized blazer trend for herself.
The fashion hopeful tried on the beige blazer on her TikTok account @zainabmkhan, leaving viewers in hysterics over the fail.
In the clip, Zainab poses in the blazer which she paired with leather trousers, black Vans and a pink hoodie for a more casual take on the trend.
The fashionista thought she looked “so cool” in the blazer, until she caught a glimpse of herself from the back.
Somehow, the padded shoulders and long-line fit really stood out from the back, making Zainab look like she was drowning in the blazer.
And although she probably wasn’t aiming to look like a toddler who was trying on her dad’s blazer, that’s exactly what some users on TikTok thought.
Others thought the huge shoulder pads made her look more like a cartoon character.
The official Minions account even roasted the fashionista, they commented on the post: “It’s giving Gru spring 2023 collection.”
And another user thought the blazer made her look like “three kids in a trench coat.”
“You have to pair an oversized blazer with a baggy bottom if you don’t want this to happen,” someone else wrote.
But not everyone was convinced there was a way to save the outfit at all.
“You’re all driving me crazy with these damn blazers,” one user quipped.
“I love wearing oversized stuff, never occurred to me to look at my back,” another wrote.
And someone else chimed in: “You know what? What I look like from the back is none of my business.”
