And for all you fashionistas out there, you’ll be happy to know that a white sweater perfectly fits the brief for Autumn/Winter 2023. This year’s catwalks saw everyday clothes being elevated. Indeed, closet staples in high-quality fabrics were paired with classic white shirts, black coats, and shimmery metallics.
This article looks at how to style a white sweater for any season or event.
How to Style a White Sweater in Fall
Pumpkin spice lattes, cozy nights in, trips to the pumpkin patch with friends, we just love autumn. It also marks the start of sweater season.
Let’s face it, Autumn weather can be predictable. Sunny one minute and raining the next, it can be tough to dress right during this transition season. That’s exactly why layers are your best friend.
A white sweater is the perfect addition to your autumn capsule wardrobe because it works perfectly with a range of fabrics and textures.
Here’s how to style a white sweater for every occasion this Autumn.
1. Tucked into your favorite high-waisted jeans
It’s hard to beat a crisp white sweater tucked into a great pair of jeans. So, why not make it your go-to look this Autumn?
We recommend opting for high or mid-rise jeans in a light wash for the most chic look. Plus, don’t forget to accessorize with some cute ballet pumps, your fave kicks, or a chunky ankle boat.
2. Over a satin midi skirt
For those warmer Autumn days, a knitted sweater is the perfect way to dress down a dressy skirt. We love combining a colorful satin skirt with a neutral white knit for a fun look with plenty of texture.
3. Make it Monochrome
Take a leaf out of fashionistas like Sofia Richie and team your white sweater with a monochrome ensemble. When done right, monochrome is an impossibly chic way to wear white.
The key is texture. Pair your white or cream knit with cream, tailored trousers and pointed loafers. Throw on a camel coat or a classic trench coat to complete the look.
4. Layer with a Button Down Shirt
Go for a preppy look by layering your white sweater over a colorful button-down shirt. The neutral knit paired with the bright pop of color creates a fun Autumn vibe.
And the best part? You can dress this look up with some tailored trousers or make it more casual with your favourite pair of jeans.
If preppy isn’t your thing, try layering your white sweater over a plaid shirt. Then, throw on some black straight-leg jeans and chunky boots for a grungier look.
5. Go for Boho
Channel your inner Stevie Nicks by styling your white sweater with a flowing skirt, tights, a leather jacket, and a pair of cowboy boots. Of course, don’t forget to accessorize with some fringing to complete the look.
6. Under a Gilet
Autumn is that time of year when it’s sometimes too warm for a coat, but not warm enough for just a sweater. That’s where a stylish gilet comes in.
Throwing a gilet over your white sweater is a great way to stay cosy and look chic at the same time.
You can dress it up with a faux fur gilet, tailored trousers, and chunky boots. Or, you can go for a casual, puffer gilet with some leggings and trainers. What’s more, you can play with color or keep it simple with a monochromatic look. The possibilities are endless.
7. Play with Patterns
The great thing about a neutral white knit is how versatile it is. We love playing with bold prints and diverse textures for a fun Autumn look.
For instance, try tucking your sweater into a floral-printed skirt or some leopard-print pants for a show-stopping look.
8. Over a Midi Dress

Take your favorite midi or maxi dress from summer to autumn by pairing it with a white sweater. The light color of the sweater helps to balance the look and make it transitional.
We recommend pairing the dress with a belt and tucking the sweater in for a flattering look that accentuates your waist.
9. With a Mini Skirt
A neutral knit is perfect for dressing down a mini skirt for an everyday look. Simply tuck the sweater into your skirt (high-waisted is best) and pair it with tights and some knee boots.
10. Break up Double Denim
Dare to don the Canadian tuxedo this Autumn with some double denim. The trick is to choose the same wash (we love a light wash moment) and get your proportions right. Straight-leg or wide-leg denim jeans with an oversized denim jacket looks great on most frames.
Throwing on a white sweater neutralizes the look and doesn’t distract from the main event: all that denim.
How to Style a White Sweater in Winter
Chilly winter mornings call for a cozy sweater and a hot drink. Luckily, your white sweater will take you right through winter this year.
Forget the myth that you shouldn’t wear white in winter. After all, fashion rules are made to be broken, and winter whites done right are oh-so chic.
Here are 10 ideas on how to style a white sweater this winter.
1. White Sweater With Leather
A neutral white knit looks fantastic with a pair of leather trousers. Plus, it will keep you warm and dry on those cold winter nights.
We recommend tucking your knit into a straight-leg pair of leather trousers and some chunky pointed-toe boots. Throw over a coat and a bright scarf for a stylish look that can take you from the office to the pub.
2. White Sweater With Statement Coat
While black coats may be in this winter, that’s no reason to hang up your statement coat. A chunky white sweater perfectly balances a bright or patterned coat for an effortlessly chic look.
Pair with jeans, boots, and a neutral bag, and let your coat do the talking.
3. Cozy Neutrals
Embrace the winter vibes by teaming your white sweater with a camel coat, taupe scarf, suede ankle boots, and corduroy wide-legged pants. Textured neutrals…perfection.
4. Throw Back to Seventies
Give your neutral knit a retro feel by pairing it with a corduroy button-down skirt or flares, ankle boots, and a wide-brimmed hat. Add a mohair coat for proper Penny Lane vibes.
Oh, and don’t forget to finish the look with a scarf in an earthy tone and a leather bag.
5. Dress Down Sequins and Metallics
2023 catwalks were all about pared-down fashion. But that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the sparkles completely. Neutral classics like the white sweater were paired with metallics for a “too cool to care” vibe.
Adding a white knitted sweater over a sparkly sequined skirt is an ideal choice for this year’s Christmas party. Fashion-forward and comfy? Sign us up.
6. Under Denim Overalls
A great pair of denim overalls are perfect for those lazy weekends with friends. Whether you’re doing some DIY, headed to the farmer’s market, or catching a movie, overalls and a chunky knit are a match made in heaven.
Team with a pair of colorful Converse, a messy bun, and a warm coat.
7. Mix Velvet and Wool
