With autumn/winter around the corner, we bet that you're going to want to stock up on a whole plethora of jumpers and cardis - although tbh, we think one really great one will see you through. In fact, we're so confident, that The Debrief's writer Daisy Keens as paired up with fashion brand Very to create three stylish outfits that incorporate an oversized, chunky jumper and work for virtually any occasion this winter. Whether you've got a big serious work meeting, or a big serious date.
Simple and stylish
The big trick when it comes to making an oversized jumper work is in mixing up proportions, textures and colours. Simply marry it with delicately detailed trousers (like these floral embroidered ones from Very), and some statement boots. If you want to create a bit more definition, tuck the front section of your jumper into your jeans, and leave the back hanging out.
Suited And Booted

Want to ace that interview, or bag yourself that promotion you've been eyeing up? Or just be that really cool girl who's totally rocking a trouser suit in the pub and making everyone else jealous? Daisy recommends picking a simply patterned blazer and tailored trouser combo, and marrying the duo with the aforementioned chunky knit. And don't worry if your jumper is longer than the jacket: let the sleeves peek through the bottom of your blazer - you'll look tres cool and devil-may-care - we promise.
The Bolder, The Better
If you're going out out, but don't want to ditch your now beloved (trust us, it will be beloved) chunky jumper, a bold and bright bottom half is the order of the day. So, dig out your brightest coloured trousers (these aren't just for summer, you know), and pair them with a knitted jumper and some eye-catching metallic boots.
