My Friends and I All Live in Chunky Sweaters—5 Outfits We Want to Try Now
I live for a good chunky knit. As I’ve highlighted before, that perfect sweater (especially of the cable-knit variety) is a staple. And yes, the said silhouette also happens to be a go-to piece in the wardrobes of those in my inner circle. On that note, one of my friends recently asked me for a cool outfit idea to wear with her favorite chunky sweater this winter.
I thought I’d take the opportunity to highlight the idea I sent her (the first ensemble coming your way below), and also round up a few more outfit formulas we all ended up liking, and that I think you’ll be into as well.
Below you’ll find five easy and chic looks featuring a chunky knit as the hero piece. If you’re in the mood to add a fresh sweater or other items to your offering, there’s also a range of shopping recommendations.
This is the first outfit idea that I sent my friend that I’m also wearing. I love the chunky cable-knit sweater half-tucked into wide-leg trousers with simple boots. Simple yet so polished.
One of my favorite easy outfit combinations that I like recommending is a beautiful chunky sweater and a slip skirt.
Into a layered look? Try a chunky cardigan over a relaxed white button-down shirt with a longline coat and baggy jeans. Effortless.
A turtleneck is very chic with a trendy miniskirt and forward rubber boots.
This ensemble featuring the cropped chunky knit with the blouse and relaxed trousers is cool and modern.
