Caution: extreme coziness ahead.
We know: The cold weather is officially here, the sun is setting before the work day ends, and spring feels years away. But, there is at least one sartorial silver lining of this chilly and dark time of year — the oversized sweater.
They’re just as essential as a good pair of leggings or your favourite ride-or-die winter coat. We’re here to help you stay warm (and stylish) with our picks of the best ones to wear this winter.
How to style oversized sweaters
Whether you opt to style your favourite oversized sweater with a pair of flared leggings for a polished on-the-go look or give your cozy knit turtleneck a collegiate vibe with loafers, the oversized sweater offers endless outfit options.
Oversized knits are also an essential part of the quiet luxury aesthetic, and — hear me out — you don’t even need to wear the sweater the traditional way to pull it off. Tucking your sweater into your favourite pair of straight-leg jeans is also a great way to show off an oversized silhouette.
Whatever your styling preference, a trusty oversized sweater is so versatile for winter. Here are the best options to shop right now.

Chunky Oversized Knit Pullover

But on the flip side, a sweater that doesn’t provide enough insulation is also a miss. This chunky knit pullover somehow manages to flawlessly walk that fine line.
Made of merino wool and acrylic, this pullover’s lightweight feel keeps you comfortable and just warm enough all day long. Batwing sleeves and mock neckline add a chic touch to this already cute sweater.
