3 Easy Ways to Wear a Fair Isle Sweater

Fair Isle sweaters seem to come back each winter. Fair Isle sweaters are fun to wear and can add a pop of color to your winter wardrobe. If you have yet to purchase one, now is a great time to add it to your closet, because many of them are on clearance.

Fair isle prints have been around for a long time but seem to be really popular this season. I've seen lots of fair isle looks on bloggers this week. I promise I'm not just jumping on the fair isle blogger bandwagon. I wore this Sunday to run errands. I've had this sweater for a couple of years, but this is the first time it's made the blog. Too often it's dark when I change into more casual clothes in the evening, so some of my outfits just never make the blog.

 

It was actually cold enough for another layer, so I threw this light field jacket on over my sweater. I like the navy/burgundy combination with the pink and grey peeking out.

 

Did you know there really is a place called Fair Isle? And the origins of these knitting patterns can be traced there.

Fair Isle

Beanie, socks, leggings, sweater

Are you a fan of fair isle?  It refers to the pattern of knitting that creates geometrical shapes and patterns with repeated colors. I have a grey sweater that I bought at Target last year that has yellow and pink in it. It seemed to call me out every time I went in the store, so I had to have it. Sadly, it has never made an appearance on the blog. I have worn it a couple of times. Fair isle seems to be growing more in popularity this year so check out the collection below. It's not limited to sweaters- it's on gloves, scarves, leggings, slippers, etc.
