Despite August’s hot temps, fall and its famous sweater weather aren’t far off. Those who are already prepping their wardrobes for the transition to autumn, or simply appreciate the versatile qualities and stylish comfort of a fabulous knit, should know that this season’s It sweater is an oversized chunky knit cardigan. Be it in solid color fisherman’s rib, color-blocked stripes, or an ultra chunky mohair printed version—similar to what you might discover in the back of your grandfather’s closet.
No matter which style you choose from fall’s assortment of buttoned-front knits, the bigger, the better. Khaite and Maison Margiela’s iterations come with sleeves that extend far beyond your palms, while Ganni and Everlane’s thigh-grazing styles can double as a sweater dress. Meanwhile, Marni has traded in its iconic colorful horizontal stripes for a smart, burgundy woven knit that reads study-hall chic.
Here, 17 incredibly cozy, wonderfully oversized chunky knit cardigans to shop now before fall begins. Until then, use one as a warm companion to combat your arctic air conditioning.
