Sweater for Winter: How to Style the Season’s Trendiest Looks

While we know that coats and jackets are essentials for braving the colder season, sweaters have remained a constant fashion staple to complete any look. Whether layered or worn under a shirt, owning a luxury sweater goes a long way. 

Nowadays, sweaters are far from rigid or boring, as more fashion houses designed them with their own style, cuts, and high-quality materials that not only keep you warm but also make your outfit look effortlessly polished.

From oversized luxury winter sweaters to cable-knit classics and symmetrical designs, this Winter 2025 we are seeing more versatile and playful ways to style them. If you’re looking to up your sweater game this season, here’s how to wear the season’s most coveted winter sweaters with confidence, style, and a touch of streetwear edge.

Oversized Cashmere Sweaters

There’s no stopping the oversized sweater trend because why not? This comfortable and versatile fashion staple has always been a must during the winter season, but the latest trend in 2025 gives it an upgrade with defined cuts and a more structured look.

Brunello Cucinelli’s renowned cashmere sweaters are the perfect companion this season. You can opt for trendy colours like burgundy, navy, and chocolate brown, and pair them with a fluid long skirt or skinny jeans. You can also easily pair it over a collared shirt and let the collars and cuffs peek out for contrast. For accessories, you can wear sweaters with anything, but a sweater and boots combo for the winter season gives more of that cool girl vibe.

Cable-Knit Sweaters

If you’re looking for a more textured sweater, you can always bring out your cable knit pieces this winter. Known for their twisted patterns that resemble braided or rope-like “cables”, these types of sweaters are perfect for the casual yet edgy looks.

For styling tips, you can pair them with contrasting textured bottoms like leather pants, tailored trousers, or leggings. For leggings, you can match them with knee-high boots or cowboy boots. Not only do cable knit sweaters work for outings, they also fit December office looks when paired with black pants and ballet flats, or a matching monochromatic mini skirt set, which you can find from Zimmerman or Valentino.

High V-Neck, Argyle, and Polo Sweaters

You’ll be forgiven if you think there are only a handful of sweater designs, but from V-neck styles to argyle patterns and polo sweaters, there’s plenty to choose from.

Perhaps the sleekest among them all, the V-neck sweaters not only work perfectly for layering with a shirt or T-shirt underneath, but their V-shape and open neckline create a vertical line that visually elongates the torso and adds height. You could even say wearing a V-neck sweater makes you look like an off-duty model.

Meanwhile, argyle sweaters bring the classic preppy energy with their diamond patterns, adding a playful yet polished touch to both casual and office-ready outfits. This sophisticated patterned sweater is also versatile, pairing well with jeans, skirts, or even loose trousers. Did you know that the argyle pattern is associated with Scotland's Clan Campbell of Argyll and was first introduced in the 17th century?

And last but not least is the polo sweater trend, which is back in a big way thanks to your favourite celebrities influence. This sporty-chic piece strikes the perfect balance of classic and preppy aesthetics, like the ones from Emporio Armani, which you can effortlessly pair with jeans, skirts, or even leather pants for a modern edge.
