A character who wants to look dangerous has several choices in outerwear — long swishy coats if you want to look dashing and mysterious, leather jackets appeal to the James Dean wannabe in all of us, stylish dark suits look aloof and professional — but not sweaters.
Whether because of their fuzzy texture or sweaters' association with gifts from one's grandmother, sweaters do not look intimidating. In fiction, a character who wears sweaters frequently is often some variety of nerd, otherwise cute, or at least approachable and non-threatening. Sweater vests, in particular, are normally a sign of extreme nerdiness, and the look is often paired with Opaque Nerd Glasses for the same reason.
Keep in mind, however, that while Dorks In Sweaters don't look dangerous, that does not mean they are necessarily harmless. The various Hidden Badass tropes may apply. A character may look like this when he's (or she's) obligated to wear the Homemade Sweater from Hell. This trope can overlap with Sexy Sweater Girl if the lady in question is more of a Hot Librarian than a conventional bombshell, and Cute Oversized Sleeves if the character is adorably dorky. Also The Smart Guy of a group usually could dress this.

Sherlock: John Watson isn't exactly a nerd, but he has a few dorky qualities and under ordinary circumstances, he's rather less intimidating than his six-foot-tall Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette best friend. Under extraordinary circumstances, however, he's a BAMF.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Neville wears a pretty goofy jumper, probably as a way to remind the viewer of the dork that he used to be because in this film, he acts like a badass more often than not.

That '70s Show: Eric Forman is usually seen as a dork, especially since he wears sweaters in like the half of the series. Another example is his friend Steven Hyde, who usually mocks Eric for his look, in which had dressed one with his name made by Kitty Forman on his 18th birthday, obligated by Red Forman (as well assisting to his own birthday).

In Inside Out, two of the Anthropomorphic Personifications of emotions, both decidedly dorky, wear sweaters. The first, Sadness, has an oversized white turtleneck that comes across as the kind of thing someone would wear on a gray, gloomy day. The second, Fear, has an argyle sweater vest paired with a bow tie. Both Sadness and Fear are among the smarter members of the emotion team: Sadness studies operation manuals and knows the most about inner workings of the brain, while Fear's duty involves him being Crazy-Prepared and thus researching as much about danger as he can.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Irma, April's dorky best friend, usually wears a light blue sweater with a turtleneck. To further drive home the dork factor, she wears glasses that are almost too big for her face, pairs the sweater with a long gray skirt and tennis shoes, and spends most of her screen time moping about her unsuccessful love life.

Sarada from Naruto is of the "nerdy" variant. She's a studious and Book Smart girl. Her casual clothes during her days at the Ninja Academy were a tie and sweater vest (combined with her glasses). This attire however hasn't been shown outside the Distant Epilogue of the manga (which takes place a few years before Naruto Gaiden). The Boruto anime retconned her clothes to be something more similar to her ninja attire.

Darkwing Duck: In his civilian identity, the "terror that flaps in the night" wears a pink and green dorky sweater, which makes for amusing dissonance when he acts like his superhero identity around his family and friends. Also, he (and all his evil counterparts) all wear a turtleneck sweater underneath their suit jacket costume.

Harry Potter:
Ron is afraid that the sweaters his mum knits him for Christmas will make him look like one of these but Harry, Fred, and George can pull them off because they have a sense of humour about it.
Dolores Umbridge, who wears a pink cardigan as part of her Sickeningly Sweet persona, manages to be both far less harmless than she initially appears, and actively evil.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Forgotten Friendship: Wallflower Blush, whose main traits are being unremarkable and socially invisible. The drab, brown striped sweater certainly doesn't help, especially in comparison to the colorful clothes worn by many CHS students. She's the main villain of the special, using a magic Laser-Guided Amnesia device to nearly ruin Sunset Shimmer's life.

Scooby-Doo: Velma Dinkley's most iconic outfit consists of a pleated red skirt, orange knee-socks, red Mary Jane-shoes, Nerd Glasses, and a bulky orange sweater. She's also the most intelligent member of the gang (being the one who typically figures out almost all of their mysteries) and is arguably the most fearless member of the group as well.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Amending Fences" introduces Moondancer, who took to wearing a black turtleneck sweater around the same time she got depressed and became a complete recluse.

Doctor Who:
The Fifth Doctor◊ wears a v-neck sweater as part of his Edwardian-era cricket outfit, and has the Endearingly Dorky Nice Guy attitude to match. Downplayed since it's usually mostly hidden by his Badass Longcoat.
The Seventh Doctor◊ starts his tenure off as a pratfalling goof who rocks an astonishingly tacky question-mark sweater vest. Later adventures in the Expanded Universe have him as much more of a Chessmaster and upgrade his outfit to a Waistcoat of Style instead.

In Men Behaving Badly, the characters discuss how wearing a cardigan makes one seem tame and old.

Beetlejuice:
A couple episodes introduce Donny, BJ's annoying brother. Donny is a colossal dork who works on almost everyone's nerves eventually because he's so nice, and this is accentuated by his sweater ensemble and bow tie.
Also, in one episode Beetlejuice himself dons a sweater specifically to invoke this trope. He enters a contest in which the participants have to dress like living people, and his costume includes a letterman sweater and glasses. The contest announcer lampshades it, observing that BJ has opted for "a traditional 1950s dork look."

Dr. Spencer Reid of Criminal Minds often wears sweaters or sweater vests; he is nerdy and sometimes awkward (mainly because he just blurts out everything he knows) but definitely a Badass Bookworm.

In Dumbing of Age, most of Joyce's outfits involve sweater vests. This fashion-backward look fits her status as the sheltered fundie.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, wears a turtleneck sweater underneath his Badass Longcoat. This befits his characterization as a stern scientist, complete with Nerd Glasses that he uses to Mega Evolve his Pokémon.
His two admins, Courtney and Tabitha, also wear turtleneck sweaters, and both are also Evil Geniuses with backgrounds in science.
