1. The Oversized Sweater: Comfort Meets Style

One of the biggest knitwear trends this season is the oversized sweater. This relaxed style is perfect for layering and adds a chic, laid-back vibe to your wardrobe. With a loose, boxy fit, oversized sweaters provide warmth without sacrificing style, and they look great with everything from jeans to skirts.

How to Style:

  • Pair with Skinny Jeans: Balance out the volume of an oversized sweater with a fitted bottom. Skinny jeans or leggings are perfect for this.
  • Layer Over Dresses: For a stylish winter look, layer an oversized sweater over a midi or maxi dress. This adds a cosy touch while still keeping the overall silhouette chic.
  • Chunky Boots: Pair your oversized sweater with chunky boots for an edgy, fashion-forward finish.

2. The Classic Cable Knit: Timeless Elegance

Nothing says "autumn and winter" quite like a cable knit sweater. This timeless style features intricate braided patterns that add depth and texture to any outfit. The classic cable knit is a great way to stay cosy while adding a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe.

How to Style:

  • Tuck into High-Waisted Trousers: For a more polished look, tuck your cable knit into a pair of high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt.
  • Layer Under Coats: A cable knit sweater makes the perfect layering piece under a stylish coat or jacket. It adds warmth while keeping your outfit looking put-together.
  • Pair with Tailored Jeans: For a casual but chic look, wear your cable knit sweater with fitted jeans and ankle boots.

3. The Knitted Cardigan: Effortlessly Chic Layers

If you're looking for a versatile piece that can be worn year-round, the knitted cardigan is a must-have. Whether you prefer a button-down design or an open-front style, cardigans are perfect for layering over a variety of outfits. They’re great for adding warmth without the bulk of a full sweater and can be styled in countless ways.

How to Style:

  • Pair with Turtlenecks: Layer a knitted cardigan over a fitted turtleneck for a cosy, chic ensemble. This look is perfect for layering during colder days.
  • Dress Up or Down: A knitted cardigan is versatile enough to wear over casual outfits for a relaxed vibe or with a more formal ensemble like a midi skirt or tailored pants.
  • Knitwear Over Dresses: Throw on a chunky cardigan over a long dress for a chic, boho-inspired look.

4. The Chunky Knit: Bold and Beautiful

If you're ready to make a statement this season, the chunky knit sweater is your go-to style. Known for its thick, textured yarns, this bold knitwear style offers extra warmth and comfort. Whether it’s a chunky knit cardigan or a sweater, this style is perfect for days when you want to feel cosy but still look stylish.

How to Style:

  • Pair with Slim-Fit Bottoms: Since chunky knits are voluminous, balance the look with slimmer jeans, leggings, or skirts.
  • Layer Over Dresses: A chunky knit cardigan looks fantastic layered over a fitted dress for extra warmth.
  • Layering with Coats: Chunky knits pair perfectly with winter coats, creating a stylish and functional layered look.

How to Style:

  • Layer Under Dresses: A fitted turtleneck under a sleeveless dress gives your outfit a chic, layered look that transitions well from autumn to winter.
  • Tuck into High-Waisted Pants: Tuck your turtleneck into high-waisted trousers or jeans for a sleek, polished silhouette.
