One trend that seems to keep coming back year after year is the oversized sweater.
This year the emerging trend is for HUGE sweaters as seen by Pringle of Scotland, Ryan Roche, Edun, Spencer Vladimir, Sacai, Barbara Bui, Chloe, Victoria Victoria Beckham, M Missoni, and more.
These large baggy sweaters are back year after year – and why not?!
They are comfy, cozy, and really, really versatile.
Designer Sweaters
Sweaters from Victoria Beckham Pre-Fall 2017 show slouchy shapes with monochromatic colors.
Every year designers make oversized sweaters for all seasons, from knee-length cardigans in all white to V-neck sweaters with coordinating turtlenecks and for winter – wool jumpers with shearling trimmed corduroy jackets.
Better than wearing an actual blanket in the cold weather, these knitted pieces can be flattering when styled in the right way.
One option is to wear a huge monochromatic knit teamed with loose trousers or a flowing skirt – get inspiration from Victoria Beckham (look at those sleeves below!) and Marc Jacobs and you can’t go wrong!
Make your own designer sweater for less
As these designer labels may be a little out of most people’s price range, why not make your own?!
After all, you have the skills, now all you need is the right knitting pattern.
Make a chunky knit sweater with a turtleneck, a textured sleeve, and best of all it’s a quick knit.
