Winter Trend: Fair Isle Sweaters
In just one week, we officially start the beginning of Winter! While we’re getting into the holiday spirit, it can feel as if it already is but we have oh-so-much more Winter Wonderland ahead of us.
Each season, it’s good to note some of the trends. This helps freshen up your classic basics (it doesn’t take much!) and you can also find a plethora of sales for that specific trend (remember, trends can be staples to certain style types). With trends in general, many of them are built around classic themes that, if you stay true to your style personality, you will be able to wear even when they are not “in trend.” So, it’s important to pick style elements that also ring true with your wardrobe and aesthetics. That approach will work for any budget and ease the stress of getting dressed, since everything will have a consistent theme.
And this winter, we have a trend that not just made a fashion statement, but a historical one, too!
It’s all about the Fair Isle sweater!
The Fair Isle sweater, originating from the charming Fair Isle, a tiny island nestled between Scotland’s Shetland and Orkney islands, this sweater became a fashion sensation in the early 20th century. It gained fame when the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, sported one during a public appearance in 1921, captivating the world with its vibrant, intricate patterns.
The Fair Isle sweater has become a timeless icon of cozy style and has a rich history that weaves together tradition.
Crafted with a unique technique that involves using multiple colors to create symmetrical designs, each Fair Isle sweater remembers a story of craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Today, its colorful motifs and snug, warm embrace continue to inspire fashionistas around the globe, blending heritage with a dash of modern flair!
So now, let’s get shopping! Here below are some fun ones to try.
