Fact: A striking knit sweater can make your entire outfit. Sure, basic knits are certainly an essential part of our everyday wardrobes given their timeless and versatile nature, but statement sweaters can take an outfit to next-level chic. They elevate your basics in an instant and are capable of doing the work of an entire ensemble. They're perfect for taking you from day to night, work to weekend, and require zero effort save for a pair of basic bottoms.
There are so many chic options to choose from this season—chunky, colorful, frilled, sheer, sequined, striped, collared, chevron, waffle knit, Fair Isle—in fashion-forward silhouettes, and you're sure to find a striking knit to suit your sartorial taste and budget.
I'm personally a sucker for a statement knit top and love the thrill of finding the most eye-catching and unique pieces. After joyfully spending hours scrolling the internet for the most Insta-worthy sweaters, I wanted to share my absolute favorites with you all—all of which are perfect for pairing with your jeans this cold-weather season.
