5 Affordable Chunky Sweaters You'll Want to Wear Every Day This Season

While all I want to wear right now is pajamas, I think chunky sweaters make a close second on my list. Not to sound cheesy, but there's just something about a thick oversized knit on a cold day that fills you with warmth and joy. While it may be a staple F/W item, it can also be the hardest to shop for when we're not frequenting stores. Sweaters may look cozy online, but if they're not comfortable, it can end up defeating the entire purpose of the purchase in the first place. Luckily for you, our very own Who What Wear collection has a stock of cozy (and affordable) sweaters that you'll actually want to wear every day this season.

Below, you'll find puffy sleeves, animal prints, and a basic option (that I already own) in a variety of colorways. Whatever your style preference, there's a comfy knit for you amongst these editor-approved picks. Keep scrolling to shop.
