What Should I Look For In A Chunky Sweater?

When shopping for a chunky sweater, focus on the material—wool for warmth, cotton for breathability, and cashmere for softness. Check for an oversized fit that’s flattering, not too bulky, and choose a neckline like a cozy turtleneck or versatile crewneck. Think about style and design—solid colors for classic versatility or fun patterns like cable knit or stripes for flair. Make sure it’s comfy, soft (not itchy!), and provides the warmth you need. Lastly, pick a sweater that easily pairs with your wardrobe favorites like jeans, skirts, or dresses!
