Ladies and gents, winter is here! IDK about you but I'm excited about sweater weather (just as long as the szn isn't too long—do ya thing, groundhog). If you ask any fashion-obsessed person, they’ll likely gush about fall being their favorite season (NGL, it's mine, too) but I'd also like to advocate for winter lewks. I mean, who doesn’t love sweater dresses, the warmest wool coats, boots (lug-sole, chelsea, or slouchy, anyone?), and creatively layering your favorite pieces?

Exactly! Tis the season to snuggle up in a warm, cozy, chunky sweater and feel safe in its embrace. Do you want a turtleneck that will protect your neck from chilly wind gusts or are you looking for a shoulder-baring, sultry look? Maybe you want something to layer over a button-down shirt or perhaps just a pullover so stylish, it speaks for itself. We’ve gathered a little bit of everything to up your knits game! Check out our choices for 17 of the best chunky sweaters, so you can stay warm and look like a 10 all season long.
