Unisex streetwear isn't a new idea, but the way it's playing out in India right now is worth paying attention to. Oversized fits, once treated as menswear with a looser cut, have become the default silhouette for pretty much everyone, and that shift is quietly breaking down a lot of the old gendered shopping rules.

The reason oversized works so well as a unisex category comes down to how the fit is built. A boxy drop shoulder tee isn't cut to a specific body shape the way a fitted tee is. The illegal tee is a good example, sized and shaped in a way that reads the same whether it's styled with joggers or with wide leg jeans, without needing a separate men's or women's version of the cut.

Loungewear has followed the same pattern. Pieces like the solid PJ baggy set and the Flames PJ baggy set are built loose enough that fit isn't tied to gender at all, just to how baggy someone wants their sleepwear to sit.

Typography tees add another layer to this. A graphic like the one on the midlife crisis tee works because the message isn't gendered either. Overthinking, exhaustion, and dry humor aren't experiences that split along men's and women's sections, so the tees carrying those messages don't need to either.

This move toward unisex sizing isn't just a styling trend, it's changing how collections get planned in the first place. Instead of designing two versions of the same graphic for two sections, brands are increasingly building one oversized cut that works across the board, which is exactly where a lot of Indian streetwear is heading next.
