When it comes to prints to wear this winter, there's nothing more timeless than fair isle.
This unique design gets its name from the island of Fair Isle, located 100 miles off the coast of Scotland. What began in the early 19th century as a knit pattern seen on fishermen's hats has transformed into something oh-so festive that totally screams ski lodge getaway.
Luckily, there are so many good fair isle finds out right now, including classic sweaters and cardigans, plus cold weather accessories like hats, scarves, gloves, and even socks. We found cozy styles starting at $15 from top brands like Free People, Amazon, Old Navy, and more.
Chilly weather is just around the corner, and you don't want to be caught in the cold without one of our favorite trends of the season. Shop the best fair isle pieces, below!
