Oversize Sweaters Over Everything—Here Are 11 Ways to Style Them Flawlessly

I'm not a morning person, so it's tough to leave my cozy comforter in the morning. While I may not be able to take my blanket with me wherever I go, there is a close-second option: oversize sweaters. They have the perfect loose fit so you'll feel relaxed, and they provide a plethora of styling options. They're trending in such a way that when most people think of sweaters, they're often imagining an oversize fit. (Just take a look at the majority of the market.)
