When the days cool down and crisp air arrive, it’s time for your wardrobe to celebrate texture, warmth, and creativity. This season, the spotlight is on chunky knits and bold layering without the rules, oversized sweaters, XXL scarves, and mix-and-match volumes that are just as stylish for him as for her.

According to trend reports, chunky cable-knit jumpers and voluminous layering are some of the defining knitwear looks of winter 2025. At the same time, layering is getting a fresh twist: base layers of substantial texture, mid-layers of statement pieces, and outer layers that pull everything together.

 Key Pieces & Styling Tips for Couples

1. The Chunky Knit Hero

For her: Go for an oversized cable-knit sweater in a neutral tone, charcoal, oatmeal or camel. Pair it with tailored trousers or a midi skirt to balance volume with structure.

For him: Choose a thick fisherman-style sweater in navy or forest green, or a chunky cardigan worn open over a tee and slim chinos.
Texture is everything; knits with ribbing, braids, or exaggerated stitches add interest.

2. Layering With Purpose

Start with a fitted base layer (like a light turtleneck or ribbed tee) to provide contrast.

Add the chunky knit or sweater as a mid-layer.

Finish with a statement outer layer; oversized coat, leather jacket, or longline wool. This layering structure works for both her and him.

A fun couple twist: coordinate textures but vary colors, one in camel, the other in charcoal; or one in knit and the other in leather.

3. XXL Scarves & Volume Play

A giant scarf is more than an accessory; it becomes a focal point. For her: wrap once, let ends drape. For him: toss it casually over one shoulder or tuck it under the collar of the coat.

Oversized sweaters + scarves = layered volumes that are intentional, not bulky. Encourage each other: “I’ll go with the big scarf if you pick the chunky knit.”

Couple-Friendly Styling Hacks

Coordinate, don’t match: Wear the same palette but vary pieces (e.g., both in greys but she has a wool beret; he has a knitted beanie).

Swap a piece: Try each other’s sweaters one day. It’s fun, it’s cozy, and it shows a shared style.

Layer date look: For a date night: she layers a chunky turtleneck under a slip dress with boots; he pairs a heavy knit under a blazer with tailored trousers. Same texture logic, different silhouettes.

Keep comfort in mind: These looks are meant to be lived in. Big sleeves, voluminous scarves, just make sure you can move, hug and walk comfortably.

This season, let your style tell a story of warmth and togetherness. Chunky knits and carefree layering aren’t just trends; they’re your shared comfort zone. Mix textures, play with volume, and let your couple style shine through every cozy layer.
