Fashionable Fair Isle Knits Guaranteed to Earn Favorite Sweater Status in Your Wardrobe

Sweaters are to winter what T-shirts are to summer. Necessary due to the weather and also to make a sartorially impressive ensemble. There are tons of knits to be had, but we're partial to Fair Isle sweaters. Especially this time of year because there's something inherently festive and simultaneously après-ski about them.

Good news. You'll have no trouble finding fashion-forward options. Designers have always embraced the colorful style of knitting that originally hails from the Shetland Islands. Hence the name. Khaite pretty much takes the cake in this category this season. (Designer Catherine Holstein also took the title of American Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards.) The brand offers plenty of pieces in eye-catching, seasonally-appropriate colorways.
