8 ways to wear an oversized cardigan

how to wear an oversized chunky cardigan: eight outfit ideas to try

Anyone who knows me knows I can’t function without an oversized cardigan. Whether I’m hanging out at home, hopping on an airplane, or even out shopping with friends, you’re unlikely to see me without a chunky cardigan. I’ve amassed a pretty solid collection of these cozy sweaters over the years, and thanks to the current obsession over hygge (the Danish concept of coziness) it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing the even more cardigans this year. Of course, an oversized cardigan doesn’t have to look schlubby. Read on for eight of my favorite ways to rock a chunky cardigan:

real world look: jeans and a moto jacket

casual edgy style: jeans and moto jacket

Normally when I do a real world look, I do something similar to an outfit I’ve worn in real life. But in this case, this look, styled by Gina from On the Daily Express, was just too perfect not to recreate! It’s a seriously easy look to pull together that’s a little bit edgy and a lot stylish. Perfect for the weekend or even a casual date night!

1/ v-neck t-shirt // 2/ leather jacket // 3/ distressed jeans // 4/ contra pendant // 5/ crossbody bag // 6/ curve post earrings // 7/ suede booties

my go-to outfit: elevated winter edition

chic casual winter style: jeans, boots, necklace // click for outfit details

This is the time of year where my style tends to get a little lazy. My general rule of “must wear jeans to the studio” starts to get relaxed in favor of cozy sweatpants and snow boots. Which means now is a good time to revisit my go-to outfit in a way that’s elevated for chic winter style.

I’ve shared my go-to outfit here before (jeans, ankle boots, a cardigan, and statement necklace) but this version swaps the cardigan for a slightly more structured jacket and the ankle boots for something taller. (Mostly because I’m loving the shade of grey of these boots.) It’s an easy update to my regular look that will hopefully help me make it to spring!

1/ black cami // 2/ felt jacket // 3/ straight jeans // 4/ bold contra necklace // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ knee high boots

chic and cozy everyday winter style

When I was a kid, we’d spend New Year’s Day celebration the holidays with my dad’s side of the family. And even back then, I remember being plagued by the same sartorial challenges I now find myself facing any time I get together with my husband’s family. I want to dress nice (because it’s a holiday) but I don’t want to be overdressed. This was especially true for our New Year’s Day family gatherings growing up, since they were at my aunt’s house, which was on top of a mountain. (Not exactly a place to get super dressed up.) Since then, I’ve at least developed a go-to look that makes me feel a little fancy without being ridiculously overdressed – jeans, heeled ankle boots, and a killer statement necklace. This is a perfect look if you’ve got to head out on New Year Day’s, but it’s also just a great everyday look during those cold winter months when you want to look fabulous without going too fancy.

1/ lace shell // 2/ wool jacket // 3/ boyfriend jeans // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ cross body bag // 6/ mixed metal stacking rings // 7/ wedge bootie

casual and a little bit edgy

When it comes to my casual style, I like outfits that have just a little bit of attitude to them. Which is why my closet is filled with distressed denim, ankle boots, and lots of black and grey. Of course, it never hurts to top off the look with a totally bold (and slightly badass) necklace!

black and white bold floral coat

1/ mixed media tee // 2/ floral print coat // 3/ boyfriend jeans // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ cross body bag // 6/ curve post earrings // 7/ lea wedge bootie

While this fall I’ve been celebrating my love for all things floral, my favorite floral prints will always be those that have a more modern, graphic feel to them. And this bold, black and white coat definitely fits the bill. It adds some punch to a basic outfit (like a black t-shirt and jeans) and would be perfect for dressier occasions throughout the fall as well.

my go-to outfit: fall weekend edition

I’m not lying when I say this is pretty much what I live in. Distressed denim, an oversized cardigan, ankle boots, and a statement necklace is pretty much my ultimate look. I also have to constantly stop myself from buying more chunky cardigans and ankle boots, because my closet is basically overflowing with them! (Fortunately, I never have to stop myself from making more statement necklaces, since that’s my job!)

elevated and chic everyday style

1/ printed blouse // 2/ distressed boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra bib necklace // 4/ grey clutch // 5/ fenix smart watch // 6/ suede ankle booties

There’s no denying that are collective casual style has gotten increasingly casual. (I’m looking at you, athleisure.) But just because everyone else has gotten increasingly lazy in their everyday wear doesn’t mean you have to. A great pair of jeans can be incredibly comfortable, and when paired with a simple blouse and easy to wear statement necklace, you’ve got an easy everyday look that’s chic and stylish at the same time.

bold necklace and off the shoulder top

1/ embroidered off the should top // 2/ distressed boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra noir necklace // 4/ cross body bag // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ suede ankle booties

I realize it’s probably getting too cold for off the shoulder tops, but I just finished this bold, one of a kind necklace, and it would look totally stunning with an off the shoulder top! Plus, we have jackets and indoor heat, so maybe this look is fine even into the late fall. (At least, that’s what I’m going to tell myself! Anything to show off a great necklace, right?!?)
