Honestly, the best trend right now is chunky, sometimes-oversized cardigans tucked into belted jeans — especially when said sweater is worn with nothing underneath.
Of course, having some good knitwear in your arsenal is essential year-round. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reached for my chunky cardigans over the past few months. First of all, they’re a great, portable layers for errand runs. (You know, for those days when you find yourself in the refrigerated aisle of the grocery store wishing you’d thrown a sweater in your purse.) But more importantly, they’re great as your outfit’s statement piece.
Whether it’s a cropped knit paired with vintage denim and heels or a knit boyfriend silhouette paired with leggings and boots, a great button-front cardigan is an easy, off-duty essential — that’s also comfortable enough to nap in, which is pretty important for the times we’re living in.
Check out these 20 chunky cardigans you’ll love sporting on their own — and probably wear to death, if you’re like me.
