Yahoo Lifestyle Knitwear, cardigans and sweater outfit inspo to keep you cute and cosy this A/W
For many of us fashion gals, autumn and winter are the best seasons for style. Colder temperatures allow you to layer up your outfits, and one of the most important elements of layering is having good knitwear – specifically, sweaters.
You can style a humble sweater with literally anything in your wardrobe: with jeans for a casual look, trousers for work and even with a sequin skirt for a party szn night out with friends.
Now, you may already have a handful of sweaters in your closet, or maybe you're looking to invest in some new knitwear for the winter. Regardless, we're here to help you figure out how to look effortless while wearing them. Below, we've compiled 21 stellar street-style sweater outfits, from cardigans and sweater dresses to oversized jumpers galore.
They range in style – some formal, some casual, all winners. Use this as outfit inspo for your next sweater outfit, or treat yourself to some new pieces for the chilly season. Happy shopping!
A simple cardigan
A simple cardigan will work wonders for you in the cold weather. Wear it buttoned up with a pair of low-rise baggy jeans and a sleek pointed-toe kitten heel to dress it up.
A cropped look
PSA: you don't need to buy a cropped sweater for a crop top moment. Simply tuck your sweater into your bra to achieve the look! We promise you'll get so much more use out of a full-length sweater over a cropped one.
With a mini skirt
This cosy szn, pair an oversized cardigan with a cute mini skirt and a pair of Mary Jane flats. Don't forget a pair of tights if your legs get cold!
Incorporate a print or graphic
It's always fun to add prints or patterns to your style. Try pairing a graphic sweater with a neutral-coloured skirt and a cute bag that brings out a colour from the sweater.
With wide-leg jeans
Style a bright yellow sweater with a pair of comfortable wide-leg jeans and a black boot. It's a simple outfit, but it gets the job done!
A sweater vest
A sweater vest is a great layering piece. You can opt for a long sleeve, short sleeve, or tank underneath it. Or, on a warmer day, style a sweater vest with no undershirt. For a cool-girl look, pair your sweater vest with a long denim skirt and some cute ballet flats.
A professional pick
If you're looking to wear your sweater in a more professional setting, try pairing a simple black crew neck with tailored trousers and a long coat.
A floral cardigan
Keep your outfit fun and colourful by styling a floral cardigan and some coordinating trousers.
With metallic trousers
Metallic trousers were one of the biggest fashion trends last year, and ngl we're still just as obsessed. If you have a pair, try wearing them with a white sweater and white accessories. This 'fit would be sooo perfect for the upcoming festive season!
A sweater dress
For an easy outfit, style a long sweater dress with a simple black bag and some sunnies. Opt for a closed-toed heel or boot if the weather is chilly.
A v-neck sweater
I'm all for a preppy moment! To achieve this look, style a v-neck sweater with a pleated mini skirt.
A monochrome look
In fashion circles, it doesn't get chicer than head-to-toe black. We love a monochrome outfit like this one. Try styling a black sweater with faded black jeans, a black bag and some kitten heels.
With a maxi skirt
Stay cosy and look cute in the cold weather by styling a striped sweater with a maxi skirt. Finish the look with a comfortable pair of Converse – you can't go wrong.
With a bold accessory
A bold accessory can make any outfit more interesting. Next time you think your outfit is looking a little plain, try adding a bold scarf for some colour.
With knee-high boots
Look super sophisticated this winter by styling a grey cardigan sweater over a turtleneck with a black mini skirt, black knee-high boots and a winter coat.
With shades of red
We love wearing an outfit that features multiple shades of a certain colour. Head-to-toe red comes celebrity-approved, so why not try styling a red sweater with some burgundy pants and a scarf that ties in the colour, as well?
Add some leopard print
We've seen leopard print pretty much everywhere recently, there's no denying it's a *huge* autumn winter fashion trend. We're styling leopard print jeans with a black crewneck sweater and adding an oversized blazer.
Over the shoulders
With the unpredictable temperatures of autumn and winter, you gotta make sure you always have your sweater with you. If you get too warm, simply throw your sweater over your shoulders for cool-girl ease.
With some buttons
We've been obsessing over henley-style sweaters recently. Style it with a pleated skirt and some matching accessories.
As a mini dress
You can easily wear an oversized sweater as a mini dress with knee-high boots. If the sweater isn't long enough for comfort, throw on a mini skirt or a pair of shorts underneath.
A simple blue sweater
It's always a good idea to have a simple navy blue sweater in your wardrobe. It's a goes-with-everything neutral while being slightly softer than black. You'll get a lot of use out of this style – pair it with jeans for a casual, everyday look.
