I call this sweater my Saturday morning stunnsurpriseuse it’s nice friendly, relaxed, but guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd. You’ll want to wear it every Satu day. (And Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday too )
2. Supersized Turtleneck
This voluminous Shaker stitch turtleneck is the kind or you’ll want to climb into and never get ou of. It’s easy to lose yourself in the fabulous neckline and those humongous sleeves, yet still look surprisingly hic. This is especially true if you wear this sweater with something skinny on the bottom, like these dark wash ankle jeans and suede stacked heel booties.
One note: This sweater runs big so if you’re ordering online, consider going one size dow .
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!

This beautiful sweater has a super modern shape, great texture, and feminine charm. The bright pink color is fun and fresh, but it also comes in a gorgeous dark turquoise that is perfect for fall too. I’m dying to try this on !
5. Slouchy Cold Shoulder Sweater
Slouchy, oversize, and revealing shoulder detail seem to go together perfe tly. This cute zip-trimmed gray sweater from Michael Kors sure isn’t your average cold shoulder top.
I love the mix of the conservative menswear feels with the flirty open shoulder. That big, slouchy sleeve makes it look like you just grabbed this out of your husband’s closet and added a creative spin.
I’ve shown it here with warm leopard flats and a tan bag for an easy daytime ook. Swap the flats for high-heeled chunky booties and bag for a chain handle cross body or edgy black clutch, and you have a Wow! Evening outlook that would look amazing on a woman of any age.

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.
