With the winter months approaching quickly and your Pinterest filling up with cute winter outfit ideas, the one piece that we find ourselves reaching for over and over again has to be the oversized knit cardigan. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s so incredibly cosy and cute or because it’s gained massive popularity over Instagram. Either way, there is no denying that we all want this in our wardrobes, and we all want to be wearing it often. Today I wanted to share a different way to wear your oversized knit cardigan, for an adorable winter outfit. My cardigan is from & Other Stories however is almost sold out so I’ve linked to a similar one here and more options in the widget below.

It’s easy to think of your oversized cardigan as a layering piece, but for this outfit, I styled my knit as a top. Since it’s still not winter temperatures yet, I was able to let my cardigan sit off the shoulder to create an off-duty slouchy vibe. As it begins to get colder though, I would layer a contrasting coloured turtleneck (black or navy) underneath and still wear it off the shoulder for the same effect! I paired my knit cardigan with sporty side stripe trousers for a cool girl contrast and of course, Gucci sneakers to complete my look. My mismatched pearls add a feminine touch to the look and my Chanel Gabrielle Backpack really brings the whole outfit together. Notice how I’ve kept my colours in a neutral palette but have let the little details like the off shoulder, the stripes and the pearls, make the look more interesting.

Petite girls, this is a great way to wear an oversized knit without letting it take over you. By tucking it into trousers, or wearing it off the shoulder as a top or as a layering piece with something more fitted underneath, you’re able to still show your silhouette, making you look taller!

If you live in a warmer country where it gets chillier in the evening, you can swap the trousers for a mini skirt or rock a crop top underneath with some high waisted trousers and leave the cardigan open!
