意味

Baggy; oversized clothing that hangs loosely on the body.

ダボダボ is an onomatopoeic word describing clothes that are noticeably loose and baggy. It can be used positively (when oversized fashion is the goal) or negatively (when clothes are just too big and unflattering). In the current oversized trend era, ダボダボ has a more neutral-to-positive connotation, but in more fitted-fashion contexts, it can imply sloppiness. The word captures the visual and physical sensation of fabric hanging and swaying loosely.
