Is it just us or has the weather taken a definite turn of the autumnal variety? We’ve unpacked our winter wardrobes now and are embracing all things comfy and cosy, which means you will find us living in an oversized cardigan all the way ’til spring.
In our eyes, autumn and winter fashion is all about cosying up in layers upon layers of decadent fabrics, to stylishly hibernate our way through autumn breezes and winter winds until we can emerge again in the summer.
And we’re not alone in this idea, celebrities and the stylishly savvy have been rocking the oversized cardigan for years, not to mention the original fashion influencers: our grandmas.
Invest in an oversized cardigan and throw it over even the most basic of outfits to create a cosy cottage-core-inspired outfit in seconds, or go bold and pair a bright cardigan with an equally loud pair of printed pants and you have a dopamine-filled winter-ready look.
Want to add your very own oversized cardigan to the seasonal wardrobe? Scroll on, because we are taking a look at some of our very favourites to shop this autumn and winter.
