24 Oversize Sweaters That Have Big Knit Energy (Yes, That's a Thing)
Admit it—you kind of knew this was coming. Since fall is sweater weather, after all, it only felt natural that we discuss all things knitwear and so far that's exactly what we've done. We've discussed the three major sweater trends the fall runways predicted, the cardigans we're loving lately, and now, the best oversize sweaters for women. Because is there anything better than cozying up in a voluminous sweater when the weather takes on that crisp, fall feel?
Big knit energy, as I'm calling it, is the definition of that feeling and I've committed to finding the best sweaters to give off this exact vibe. They're oversized and come in a chunky knit stitch. They're easy to layer with and tuck into jeans and sweaters alike. And they 100% give off the ultimate fall mood. So with that, I've curated a list of these big knits by category including turtlenecks, cardigans, pullovers, and more, so just keep scrolling to find one (or two, or three) to add to your cart.
Chunky Knit Sweaters
From the slouchy sleeves to the chunky knit, I consider this to be the perfect oversize sweater.
Seeing as this already looks good with jeans, I'm pretty much sold.
This gorgeous chunky knit is hand-knit in New Zealand with mohair that's sustainably and ethically sourced. Plus, it just so happens to look incredibly cozy.
Free People's selection of cozy knits is elite, and this slouchy sweater is proof.
Oversize Turtlenecks
My favorite denim brand just made the perfect sweater to wear with jeans, so I guess I know what I'll be living in this fall.
The model's face says it all—chunky knits = pure happiness.
Oversize Cardigans
It's the chocolate brown hue and wrist buttons for me.
Might as well make it a set with the matching knit shorts while you're at it.
Black Oversize Sweaters
Style this with a button-down shirt for the fun prep-school vibe that fashion girls are all about.
Tuck this into jeans, slip skirts, or layer over dresses.
Oversize Tunics
