We currently live in a world of chunky sweaters, chunky lug soles, and chunky jewelry. The era of oversize clothing has transformed into the era of chunky clothing. While I've loved this trend for quite some time, as minimalism reclaims its place at the forefront of our industry, it's made me begin to step away from the "chunky" clothing items that everyone went wild for not so long ago. The first item on my chopping block is, truly, the chunky sweater.

Seriously, I'm over it. Instead, I've been opting for the minimalist J.Crew-style fitted cardigans that feel so elevated to me. This is a win for my wardrobe because of how much space chunky sweaters took up. Luckily for me, there will be no more of that. Below, find the 29 fitted sweaters I'd buy first.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
