Size matters: Oversized sweaters, the most comfortable fashion trend ever

Let’s admit it, fashion trends aren’t always the most comfortable. Take PVC outfits from Chanel’s SS18 collection, for example. But if there’s one current trend that we hope never goes of style, it is oversized sweaters for ladies. Think plush pullovers, ballooning sleeves, knee-touching cardigans, etc. These warm snug woollens make you look super-stylish and super-comfy at the same time, which – as ladies know – is a very rare combination.

Pulling off the look is equally easy – pair it with jeans for a classic casual look or throw on a pair of tight leggings to up your sex appeal. Wearing them tucked in with a skirt and high booties can give you an edgy look as well.

Of course, the quirky prints and patterns on oversized sweaters help the cause of fashion. From Gucci’s iconic lion to Fendi’s embroidered heart design, our slideshow presents the very best of these bulky woollens, so check them out and decide for yourself which one matches your style statement.
