Trend: Super Chunky Knit Sweaters
11:04 AM Posted by Mish Dish
I am obsessed with my over sized grey wool jumbo cable knit cardigan from Zara in a big way. I can not help myself from wearing it everyday in this crisp cool autumn weather we are experiencing here in New York.
(Zara cardigan, Millau denim shirt, American Apparel tee, Top Shop leggings)
It is a dramatic and cozy way to complete my off-duty weekend look. It is oh so snuggle worthy.
(dolce vita boots)
Here are a few helpful tips for pulling off the super chunky knit sweater (a.k.a. cardi-coat) trend:
Layers that fall below your bootie provide enough coverage to avoid embarrassment (they also help minimize the width of your hips and thighs). If you opt for a super chunky knit cardigan, leave the front open, so you don't get swallowed up by your humongous sweater. Keep your frame balanced in slim black leggings and luck them into your boots to further streamline the look.

I hope you are all enjoying your fall season.

That sweater looks so toasty warm! I can see why you'd wear it often. Love the entire ensemble.

I've got a couple chunky sweaters similar to yours in shape that I LOVE. They are so cozy on a crisp day! Can't wait to break them out! I really like yours as well. It's delish.

Totally agreed with you! It's hard to wear them in Hawaii so I'm looking for cropped sweaters to pair it with sheer skirts or shorts! xoxoxoxoo

I adore the first pic. I feel like if just touched the screen I could feel the tempting, comforting texture. Sweet crispy fall days are ours! Fashion kisses from Paris!

Mmm..just add hot chocolate! You look so cozy, I'm just wishing for layering weather! (It's supposed to be in the 90's here today!) It's sad to see all the beautiful autumn pieces in the shop window and not get to wear them!

I love chunky sweaters on everyone except me. Let me know if you find some good un-chunked ones.

WOW! amazing work!
i also know that this new chunky knitted sweaters/cardigans are really good with jeans that are rolled up (but not to rolled up to be 3 quarters, hehe) and clogs!
Rachel bilson and sarah jessica-parker have both pulled of the look!
anyway, i am now following, your a favourite of mine now!

I 100% agree with you about the chunky sweater. I love the silhouette they make with the narrow pants and boots. Zara does it again!
