We've all had those mornings when all you want is to wrap a blanket around your body and get through the day without a second thought about what to wear. While some recent runway looks may channel that energy, donning your duvet during your morning commute isn't exactly a pragmatic choice. Enter: the chunky sweater. Chunky knits are oversized enough to pair with leggings and actually look like you put together a stylish fit, cozy enough to feel like you're wearing your softest throw blanket, and versatile enough to dress up or down depending on where your day (or night) takes you.

These roomy fits come in infinite shapes, styles, and colors, and most importantly they keep you toasty warm with minimal (read: no) effort. Plus, they're perfect for layering, which makes them easy to strip off when things start to feel too sauna-like. Whether you're looking for a cardigan to curl up in and watch Love Actually for the tenth (erm...twentieth) time, a knit pullover to throw on to rush to the store in, or a longer style to pair with tights and boots for a saucy (but still warm) night on the town, we've got you covered.

Tired of the struggle that is curating the perfect cozy-yet-cool winter outfit? Scroll down to shop 25 of the best chunky knit sweaters that you'll want to wear all season long.
