Colorblock Sweaters Are Having a Moment—and They’d Make the Perfect Wardrobe Addition

Sorry striped sweaters, but colorblock looks are coming to steal the spotlight this season. Though classic patterns—like stripes, of course, but also polka dots, plaids, and others—are always fun options, there’s a new kid in town. Color-blocked decor was slated to become one of 2020’s biggest trends, according to Etsy, and apparently it’s trickled into the fashion world, too. (!!) Now that plus-size colorblock sweaters have taken over the fall and winter style landscape, we can safely say we’re not mad about it at all.

In fact, the more colorblock sweaters the better, thanks. They’re the perfect mix of solid sweaters and striped options—giving us something that’s a bit more geometric, but equally as cute as other styles (if not more so). Spongebob Squarepants may have believed himself when he said the best time to wear a striped sweater was all the time, but he clearly hasn’t seen plus-size colorblock sweaters yet. (Guess the trend hasn’t quite made it to Bikini Bottom.)

Once Spongebob sees one of these geometric beauts, he’s sure to change his tune a bit. After all, the colorblock trend can be interpreted in so many different ways—which lends itself to so many stunning and unique styles. Some colorblock sweaters are simple two-tone designs that any minimalist would love. Others boast upwards of four different colors—an ideal look for maximalists and street style aficionados alike. Whatever your personal style may be, do not shy away from the colorblock trend this season.

We’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the absolute cutest plus-size colorblock sweaters we could find, so go ahead and treat your damn self ASAP. This trend is sure to continue on into 2021 and beyond.
