Throwing a Fit for Fair Isles Sweaters!

By Cool J

Remember when you were a kid, and fair isles sweaters were part of your every day winter wardrobe?

Well, they're back, and I'm throwing a fit for this look! Fair Isles sweaters are definitely a perennial winter fashion favorite of mine; that Nordic-style knit which conjures up images of Aspen lodges and hot toddies sipped on bearskin rugs before crackling fires. Pair yours with leggings, edgy boots and simple silver jewelry to balance proportions and keep your look modern!

J.Crew has a "Farmyard Fair Isles", mixing orange and navy with little cats dancing across it. Love it!

Buy it HERE for $98

How about this "Harley of Scotland" version, also from J.Crew?

The Harley of Scotland version is a little pricey for this budget minded gal, at $225.

How about some options that Fit the Bill?

I found some affordable ones at American Eagle.
 (Fun fact- LL worked at American Eagle for many many years in high school and college!)
This reversible cardigan is on sale right now for only $60:

H&M has several affordable options, running around $35.

Pair your fair isles sweater with a funky hat and sunglasses like our friend Victoria Beckham below. Apparently she's throwing a fit for Fair Isles as well!

                                                       

So, go ahead! Bring back your favorite winter sweater look from your childhood.

 I know I will be sporting one today!
