Ultimate guide to wearing oversized sweaters in 2025

Oversized sweaters remain at the center of fashion trends in 2025, but now they are worn more thoughtfully. They provide comfort and warmth while highlighting style—and even the figure—if you know how to style them. Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk shared her insights on this.
Which sweaters are in style now
Oversized sweaters are still on-trend in 2025. However, they are gradually evolving to meet new fashion demands.
A few years ago, large, voluminous silhouettes were mostly associated with relaxed comfort. Today, they are paired with more defined shapes, structure, and even elements of a business wardrobe.

Famous designers in their Fall-Winter 2025-2026 collections recommend keeping a basic oversized sweater in neutral shades, such as beige, gray, cream, or graphite.
These colors make it easy to create layered outfits that combine effortlessly with classic bottoms, suitable for both the office and city outings.
At the same time, the stylist suggests paying attention to cardigans with more structured cuts, which help balance comfort and elegance.

Such a cardigan looks great with skinny jeans or classic trousers, accentuating the figure and creating a clean silhouette.
It's easy to layer under a coat, blazer, or even over a basic sweater as an extra style accent. The structure adds formality without compromising the main benefits—comfort and warmth.
Also trending is the combination of chunky knits with defined lines when oversized is not just baggy but thoughtfully balanced, for example, with a belt, shoulder accents, or a fitted hem. This approach allows it to flatter any body type and create a fashion-forward look.

The stylist recommends choosing oversized sweaters and cardigans made from natural materials, such as wool, cashmere, or cotton. These fabrics are stylish, eco-friendly, and comfortable against the skin. Another advantage is durability: such pieces maintain their shape better, even with chunky knits.
In 2025, oversized sweaters are here to stay, but they become more sophisticated, thoughtful, and functional.
If you’re looking for something stylish, cozy, and modern, consider large sweaters with defined cuts or structured cardigans. They will not only enhance your wardrobe but also serve as a base for trendy seasonal outfits.
