Fair Isle

November 07, 2012

I remember wearing Fair Isle sweaters in the 80's and at that time they were considered preppy.  Today they are not only preppy but lean more towards trendy.  Not that preppy is not trendy, I think preppy is timeless, and these sweaters have been in and out of fashion, and now back in. 

They have always evoked warmth, cozy, and thoughts of snow to me!  Doesn't it just make you think of wrapping your hands around a mug of hot cocoa and strolling the streets of Vail after a long day of hitting the slopes?  I grew up skiing  several times every winter, and these bring back great memories for me.  I love the price of the Gap gray and pink too!

Are you thinking of purchasing a fair isle, or do you have a favorite Fair Isle sweater?
