Plus-Size Animal Print Sweaters | 13 Fall Sweaters to Shop

I’m a glutton for fall sweaters of all kinds: chunky cardigans, oversized pullovers, long dusters, and every other cozy style available from designers and retailers. If it’s a sweater in an autumnal hue or fall pattern, odds are I’ve added it to my wishlist (or my closet). Even before the first leaf hits the ground, I’m already making my rounds online and in stores, searching for new pieces that will make my wardrobe look the way a PSL tastes. And while there’s always the onslaught of mustard yellows, fall florals, and gorgeous neutrals, it’s all the plus-size animal print sweaters that have truly caught my eye this year.

Animal print has been a staple in most wardrobes for years, but how it was styled in the 1990s is of particular interest to me—especially due to the fact that we’re currently seeing ’90s trends pervade nearly every aspect of fashion right now. Whether it’s Zinnia Wormwood’s offbeat (but low-key iconic) looks in Matilda or Rachel Green’s occasional foray into the world of animal print in Friends, this trend has been such a huge part of pop culture over the last 30 years. And as we see popular looks from the ’90s show up more and more in our favorite retailers, it only makes sense that animal print would be one of the biggest.

Fortunately, for those of us who love animal print on just about anything, the trend has consistently made its way into fall collections—and more specifically, fall sweater collections. Yes, plus-size animal print sweaters are everywhere right now, and I’m definitely not mad about it. They’re the perfect combination of the ’90s vibes I crave and the coziness I can’t live without.

Leopard, zebra, and tiger prints abound in all styles. So whether you’re a fan of a good oversized cardigan or funky pullover for fall, there’s an animal print sweater waiting to make its debut in your autumnal wardrobe. Shop all of my favorites below, and have no doubt that as you add them all to cart, I’m right there alongside you. Long live animal print.
