We Found the Coziest Long-Sweater Outfits to Try This Season

There are so many different sweater styles available online, so the market can seem a bit overwhelming at first. From cropped sweaters to oversize ones that promise maximum coziness, you'll have no problem finding a knit that suits your day-to-day outfit needs. On some days, all we want is to bury ourselves into a loose-fitting sweater, while on others, a turtleneck style seems more suitable to battle the chilly wind. Adding to that list of must-have knits for the cold-weather season, we're focusing in on all the best long-sweater outfits that are equal parts cozy, cool, and practical. 

A long sweater falls below the hips, sometimes even landing at the knee. Lengths can vary, but one thing remains the same: The piece offers extra leg warmth, something we all need, especially when the frigid winter temperatures hit.

As for the styling possibilities? Team your long sweater with skinny jeans or swap the denim for a midi skirt—there are so many ways to wear it. Ahead, see our favorite long-sweater outfits then shop the best long knits on the market right now.
