Woolmark womenswear collection, be-
lieves that the best thing about anti-fit
clothingisthatitsuitsallbodytypes.
Now, you might think that the anti-
fit fad has been around for decades
going by the oversized sweatshirts and
baggy boyfriend jeans of the ’80s. But
designers say that what then was
merely termed as loose clothing strict-
ly meant for comfort has come back in
achicandmodernavatar.
“Today’s anti-fit silhouettes effort-
lesslycombinestylewithcomfortwhich
was not the case earlier,” says Aneeth
Arora whose fashion brand Péro is ac-
claimedforitsversatileanti-fitclothing.
When Arora first started making
anti-fit designs it was with the inten-
tion of creating comfortable day cloth-
ing that could also transition into
evening wear. “Although it was tough
to sell initially, we stuck to it and today
there’sadefiniteshiftinthewaypeople
wear clothes as they want to feel com-
fortable rather than just squeeze into
smallersizes,”shenotes.
Fromboxycroptopspairedwithfit-
ted trousers to wide-legged jumpsuits
and free-flowing dresses — anti-fit is
being pegged as an ageless and classic
style that’s also symbolic of one’s confi-
denceandnaturalbodylanguage.
“Getting into an anti-fit outfit that’s
cut to one’s size feels good and can
be quite liberating,” says Ruchika
Sachdeva whose label Bodice aims to
reinvent the classics with the use of
indigenoustextiles.
According to Sachdeva, anti-fit
designs are all about striking the right
balance between fitted and loose. “If
you know the right places to incorpo-
ratethenipsandtucks,thenagarment
can be fitted where you want it to be
and away from the body in other
parts,” she says. For instance, the
designer likes keeping the shoulders
fitted and the rest of the outfit flowy,
while also playing generously with
volume and pattern-making to give
theanti-fitsilhouettetherightfall.

common feature in designer Swati
Vijaivargie’s anti-fit silhouettes that

“With anti-fit I like incorporating a lot
of design variations while also keeping
amplebreathingroom,”shesays.
Designers believe that anti-fit is not
justforcurvierwomenbutworksequal-
lywellonsuper-tonedbodiesandpetite
forms. Maithili Ahluwalia, designer and
ownerofcelebrity-favouritefashionand
lifestyle concept store Bungalow 8 in
Mumbai, points out that anti-fit gar-
G
one are the days when ‘figure
flattering’ was synonymous with
body-hugging, tummy-tucking,
take a deep-breath-before-putting-
on clothing. And the Lakmé Fashion Week
runways or even your most trusted style blogs
have clearly declared that size zero is dead.
Comfort reigns supreme with anti-fit silhou-
ettesreplacingform-fittedones.
Fashion designer Nachiket Barve, who
recently bagged the prestigious International
Woolmark Prize India, Pakistan and Middle
East Regional Final award in the womenswear
category,believesthatanti-fitisastylethat’snot
bound by body structure but aims to redefine
shape.“Thebiggestmisconceptionsurrounding
anti-fit clothing is that it’s just an oversized
garment that fits like a sack. On the contrary,
anti-fit is relaxed and easy clothing that has a
specificformandstructure,”henotes.

“Fitted garments can be quite con-
straining, whereas with anti-fit you
can mix-and-match to accentuate a
narrow waistline with a high-waist
belt, or go with baggier sleeves to take
the attention away from flabby arms,”
suggestsAhluwalia.

experimenting with synthetic fabrics
like neoprene.“Neoprene gives anti-fit
silhouettes a balloonish shape and

Minimal is the buzzword for anti-fit
silhouettes. Mumbai-based designer
Payal Khandwala thinks that heavy
embellishments on anti-fit clothes can
make the garment quite heavy and
sometimes lopsided. “The lighter the

There’s no denying it. With

For adventurous dressers, a loose
