What it is:
As the cooler seasons approach, chunky knits consistently emerge as a favorite, and SS24 is no exception. Designers have embraced the chunky sweater trend, showcasing pullovers with voluminous shapes, rounded sleeves, and exaggerated silhouettes. Despite the use of compact knit techniques, the designs maintain a bold presence, making distinct fashion statements.
Why you’ll want it:
From autumn to spring, knitwear remains a staple for layering and cover-ups, and the chunky sweater trend adds a fresh twist to this timeless piece. Appearing in both men's and women's collections, these designs appeal to the fashion-forward crowd, offering unique pieces that reinvent traditional knitwear.
Where we’ve seen it:
This season, designers have heavily featured puffed-up sleeves in knitwear, with brands like Loewe, Sacai, and Dries Van Noten leading the trend. These pullovers boast rounded forms and intricate yarn designs, while some extend beyond the fingertips for added flair, as showcased in collections by Rokh, Michael Kors, and Etro.
How to style it:
Chunky knitwear is perfect for layering during colder weather and adds versatility to spring and summer wardrobes. With this season's cropped shapes, pairing them with high-waisted trousers is a stylish choice. Additionally, wearing the sweater tied around the neckline offers a convenient and fashionable option for cooler spring evenings.
