The 15 Best Oversized Sweaters for Elevated Winter Layering

Where comfort and style collide

By

The best-oversized sweaters for women in 2024 artfully blend coziness with style—they're foundational building blocks in your winter wardrobe whether you live in a cold climate or venture to one on vacation (hello, après-ski style). From chunky knits that envelop you in blanket-like warmth to sleek and classic silhouettes with modern touches—think of boldly saturated crewnecks or subtly exaggerated V-necks—these knits are more than practical in chilly temperatures. At the same time, they're a versatile piece you can dress up or down for work, weekends, events, and more.

When choosing the right oversized sweater, consider both the material and the cut. Luxurious cashmere and soft wool blends offer tons of warmth and comfort, while thoughtful details like ribbed cuffs, stripes, unique necklines, and playful patterns add a touch of distinction or personality to an outfit. Whether paired with loose-fitting pants for a casual approach or layered over a dress for a more sophisticated ensemble, an oversized sweater keeps you stylishly snug throughout the season. Ahead, our curated selection of the 15 best to shop now.
