Chunky Knits Are Staples—29 Styles I Like (That Look Great With Jeans)

If I were to rattle off the list of items I turn to week after week during the fall and winter months, a chunky or oversize sweater would be one of the staples at the top of my list. What can I say? The knitwear silhouette is not only cozy with the relaxed fit but also incredibly chic and elevated-feeling. And honestly, it doesn't take more than adding a pair of jeans to create a standout, cool look with that trusty chunky knit.
If you're looking to add a fresh style to your rotation this season, keep scrolling to check out an edit of the styles I'm loving right now. There's everything from cable-knit silhouettes to gorgeous cashmere iterations. You'll also uncover styling references showcasing how the fashion crowd is styling chunky knits and jeans.

This is a no-fail uniform with the oversize cable-knit sweater, relaxed jeans, and Birkenstocks.
A chunky-knit cardigan—including cropped and longline styles—is a sweet option. Try wearing a cardigan as an alternative to a traditional top with denim.
