How To Style Your Oversized Sweater This Season

Oversized knit sweaters are a fall fashion must have. They are cozy and warm and can easily be styled up or down with comfort and ease. But some worry the bagginess of the trendy sweater could add some unwanted volume to their look. Well there is a solution for that. We have some tips and tricks to help wear the look with style and how to find the perfect one to add to your wardrobe.

One way to wear the trend is having it fall off-the-shoulder. Wearing it this way shows a little skin, and also adds a relaxed feel to the sweater. Another way to style the oversized top is to balance it out with slim fitting pants or leggings. Leggings come in a variety of patterns and colours and can take your look from ordinary to fun. Lengths also vary in the sweaters, from longer to cropped versions, as well as long-sleeve and fleeting sleeve options.

Some chunky knits are available with edgy cut-outs either on the shoulders, arms or along the back for a shredded look (like the one below from Christopher Kane) that add detail to the plain sweater.

So when shopping for the trendy topper, it is best to try it on before buying it and considering how it falls/sits on your body. If you want it  to drape and show some shoulder, go for a size or two larger than you normally would buy to give that desired effect.
