Indie Sleaze has returned, and so has the plethora of oversized tees, gritty aesthetics, and styling that is not afraid to speak aloud. As we approach 2025, from fashionistas to trendsetters, each one of them is reminding people of this phenomena, even though the trend itself might seem chaotic and iconic. Whether you're revisiting your Tumblr days or experiencing this timeless style for the very first time, oversized tees are at the heart of the return—new twist, of course.
This blog will show you Indie Sleaze style—how to wear oversized t-shirts in 2025 and where to grab the trendiest pieces online.
Spoiler Alert: Wearified has everything you need.
What is Indie Sleaze and Why Does Oversized Tee Make Its Backbone?
Indie Sleaze emerged in the trend cycle from the late 2000s to the early 2010s. You know what I mean: messy eyeliner, Polaroid filters, American Apparel ads, and bands like MGMT and The Strokes. This was that aesthetic of imperfection, rawness, and vintage rebellion — no wardrobe was ready without these types of tees.
In 2025, Gen Z-end of Millennials—along with their rap—mixed this into a cleaner and more modern retelling of retro, breezy elements of streetwear, with athleisure thrown in. And, at the center of it? The ever-versatile oversized t-shirt.
