How to Wear Oversized Sweaters
Too many relaxed pieces in one outfit can leave you looking sloppy instead of snuggly. Be sure to always pair your oversized sweater with fitted bottoms such as skinny jeans, fitted trousers, leggings and skirts.
Oversized Sweater Types
Despite what its name might imply, an oversized sweater is usually a style you should nab in your usual size. This cozy favorite is designed to have a much looser fit than a typical sweater, and can sometimes offer a longer length similar to a tunic. Thanks to their growing popularity, there’s a wide assortment of oversized sweater styles to keep you cozy while looking cool this fall!
Knit Sweaters
Knit sweaters are usually soft and breathable because they’re often made from natural-fiber textiles such as cotton, wool and rayon. Juxtapose the loose, casual fit of a knit with edgy leather leggings and ankle booties.
Coatigan
Not quite sweater, not quite coat—but 100% cozy. Pair an oversized coatigan sweater with jeans, work trousers, a mini skirt—you name it.
Sweater Dress
A sweater dress is equal parts comfortable and classic. Take your sweater dress to work paired with a plaid trench and loafers. If you’re serving a #streetstyle ensemble, layer a shift sweater dress over moto-detail leggings and finish with slip-on fashion sneakers.

Above all, balancing proportions should be top of mind when styling an oversized sweater. Partner your slouchy sweaters with fitted bottoms such as leggings and jeggings for ultra comfort. Give these laid-back looks a style boost with other trendy pieces like scarves and boots.
