Why We Love It: Usually associated with holiday pajama pants and lumberjacks, fair isle allows you to channel your inner snow bunny. Designers have given us this winter staple in a grown-up manner, enough so to give L.L Bean a run for their money. The classic print has been transformed into modern day silhouettes with cropped sweaters seen at Proenza Schouler and a sexed up body-con at D&G. With hues of crimson and stormy grey, fair isle is cozy and comfortable.
Pair It With: The good thing about these campy knits is that you can dress them up or down. While we all wish we had time to strut the slopes of the ski resorts like the girls of D&G, you can easily create more realistic looks with ready-to-wear pieces. From scarves to leggings to slouchy crew necks, whichever piece you chose can be easily mixed into your wardrobe. Perfect for layering, combine these folkloric frocks in variations of texture and silky garments, or keep it simple with a blazer and jeans. Just make sure to keep it simple, fair isle should be the center of attention. However you wear it, we highly suggest you accessorize with a cup of hot chocolate.
