Best oversized cardigan looks and where to get them for under $200
Chunky knits and slouchy fits are the way to go
By Her World -
We wouldn't say that the cardigan has made a comeback, simply because the practical and ultra-comfy essential never really goes out of style. But what we can't get enough of now is the too-cool-to-care oversized cardigan. A perfect companion to an otherwise plain ensemble, the neat knit can take you well beyond the freezing office and late-night Netflix sessions in your bedroom. And if you're anything like Coco Chanel, who grew tired of messing up her hair while putting on tight-fitting pullovers designed for men, then there's another reason to love the big ol' cardi.
Opt for colourful varsity-inspired options for a sporty vibe, or earthy tones for a casual lived-in look. Here are some of our favourite oversized cardigan looks, and similar options for under $200.
Nothing screams preppy like a proper cardigan. We love this longline version which elongates the silhouette for a modern feel.
Varsity-inspired cardigans instantly make an outfit youthful and fun.
Get that cozy-by-the-fireplace look with a chunky textured knit.
Make a statement with crazy prints and clashing colours. The oversized fit of this one is giving us some serious granny chic vibes.
Hygge, but street - that's what you get when you pair a slouchy grey marl with an crisp white ensemble.
Style tip: drape the cardigan over your shoulders for an effortless look.
When you want to take the humble stripes up a notch, opt for chevron. The bold zig-zag pattern is guaranteed to have you standing out of the crowd.
There's just something so calm and homey about earth tones like ecru and sage green. They also go with just about everything - from blue jeans to bold maxi dresses.
