How to Style an Oversized Cardigan — 5 Autumn Outfit Ideas

The oversized cardigan might be the single most versatile piece in an autumn wardrobe — cozy enough for a lazy Sunday, polished enough for the office when styled right. Here are five easy ways to wear yours this season.

1. Over a Simple Cami and Wide-Leg Trousers

Let the cardigan do the talking. A plain camisole underneath and a pair of wide-leg trousers below keeps the silhouette clean and lets the texture of a piece like our Double-Breasted Cable Knit Cardigan stand out.

2. Belted for Definition

Oversized doesn't have to mean shapeless. Cinch a thin belt at the waist over your cardigan to add structure — this works especially well with longer, open-front styles.

3. Layered Over a Midi Dress

Transition your warm-weather dresses into autumn by throwing a cardigan on top. It's an easy way to extend the life of pieces already in your closet.

4. With a Denim Mini and Ankle Boots

For an off-duty, effortless look, pair your cardigan with a denim skirt and ankle boots. The contrast of soft knit and structured denim keeps the outfit feeling intentional, not sloppy.

5. As a Layer Under a Coat

On colder days, use your cardigan as a mid-layer under a structured coat. Choose a thinner, more fitted style for this so it doesn't add bulk.
