How to Style an Oversized Sweater and Look Chic- An Oversized Sweater Style Guide
Some days, you crave a little comfort food, and the same goes for comfort fashion. There’s nothing like an oversized, woolly sweater to make you feel secure, cozy, and loved. This fall, it’s easy to feel like you’re getting a big, warm hug, and you’ll be doing it in style, too. Here are 5 Fabulous Oversized Sweaters and how to style them to elevate your look.
1. Oversized Grandpa Cardigan
Expect to get fuzzy feelings of good old grandpa when you slip on this gorgeous blue cardigan. This sentimental silhouette (dubbed the Grandpa cardigan) in this bold sapphire color brings a classic look up to date.
I call this sweater my Saturday morning stunnersurpriseuse it’s nice, friendly, relaxed, but guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd. You’ll want to wear it every Saturday. (And Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday too )
2. Supersized Turtleneck
This voluminous turtleneck is the kind you’ll want to climb into and never want to get out of. It’s easy to lose yourself in the fabulous neckline and those enormous sleeves, yet still look surprisingly chic. This is especially true if you wear this sweater with something skinny on the bottom, like these houndstooth pants and suede stacked heel booties.
3. Oversized, not Overwhelming
Giant, soft batwing sleeves give this darling creamy sweater a serene, angelic look. Statement sleeves like this are a huge trend this fall, so dive right in! I’ve paired it here with jeans and kept the rest of the look nice and neutral, but it would also give a simple black sheath dress worn with black tights and booties a modern update.
4. Roomy Mock Neck Knit
I’m not sure about you, but I’m always on the lookout for modern ways to update a pair of jeans or leggings, and this gorgeous blue mock neck knit does the trick. This beautiful sweater boasts a contemporary shape, exceptional texture, and a feminine charm. The bright blue color is fun and fresh.
5. Slouchy V- neck
Pink, ribbed, and oversized, this artsy sweater is a statement piece. It’s soft and super comfy. Wear it with jeans or slim black pants to make it stand out!
Over to You!
Are you ready to envelop yourself in a gorgeous oversized sweater like I am? Which is your favorite and why?
Those colors are just so perfect! How is it possible not to like them?
Agree about the colors. I went gag over the rust; that pink is so fresh and unexpected in fall. I’m a huge fan of color, and I believe the right colors can make a tremendous difference in how you look and feel.
My Sponge Bob Square pants shape doesn’t allow me to wear form-fitting sweaters anymore; however, these oversized sweaters are just that—OVER sized. Although I’m sure they are comfortable, they look sloppy. Not my style.
Hi Sue,
I understand. You need to feel confident in what you wear; if this trend isn’t for you, there are many others!
