OVERSIZED SWEATERS FOR KEEPING COZY NO MATTER THE SEASON

Whether you’re embarking on an alpine getaway or strolling along a breezy beach, oversized sweaters are a must. Comfy and versatile, they’re perfect for staving off the chill. Big, warm sweaters not only look stylish when draped over the shoulders or worn as a cover-up, thick knits are everyone’s best friend during fire-side chats or scenic snowfalls. Because they’re intended to be worn loosely, they work well with all body types. And because the cold has a habit of sneaking in unannounced, having a go-to in the closet never hurts.

Today, designers are creating exceptional oversized options—turtlenecks, cardigans, pullovers, deep V-necks, and more. When styled well, roomy sweaters quickly become the highlight of an entire outfit and create an ensemble that emits confidence.

We’ve rounded up some of the best oversized sweaters for women and added some tips on how to style them.

HOW TO STYLE OVERSIZED SWEATERS

When it comes to mixing, matching, and layering, oversized sweaters suit almost every imaginable combination. These four tips bring excitement to creating stylish, cozy ensembles.

Layer with contrasting textures

A sweater’s fabric and weave offer numerous creative styling and matching opportunities. Playing with textures is an excellent way to bring out originality in an outfit. Try a colorful brushed mohair sweater with dark brown leather pants and sneakers for a chic casual ensemble, or a sporty oversized crewneck with crinkled silver metallic pants. Textured cable knit sweaters pair beautifully with delicate garments such as satin dresses and tulle skirts. Experiment with texture in footwear, too, such as a monochrome cashmere outfit and fur clogs.

Play with proportions

Balance the slouchy nature of an oversized sweater with a mini skirt or shorts to create a contrast flattering to the legs, while keeping the outfit comfy and approachable. When styling this combo, ensure the sweater falls above the skirt’s hem so it shows. Try an equestrian-inspired look with an oversized knit vest, tailored shorts, and tall riding boots.

Look for refined pieces

Juxtapose refined elements from your closet with a relaxed sweater to create a well-balanced, comfortable look. Swap a blouse for a baggy sweater in a loose blazer ensemble, or style the sweater over an elegant pleated skirt with heels. Even chunky oversized knit sweaters can transition into refined ensembles with diamond earrings, gold bracelets, scarves, and sleek sunglasses.

Accessorize skillfully

Accessories are an easy way to up the chic factor on any cozy sweater ensemble. Diversify the look with statement rings, bracelets, or eye-catching earrings, and accentuate the waist by adding a leather belt to give the garment shape over a maxi dress, skirt, or pants.
