These Fair Isle knits are the perfect mix of stylish and cosy – get ready for them to become your new go-to this winter.


’Tis the season for knitwear, and no winter wardrobe is complete without a statement jumper. While there are plenty of options – cosy cashmere, chunky knits and even kitsch Christmas styles – the standout piece is the Fair Isle jumper. 

With geometric patterns, this heritage style is a winter workhorse, and choosing the right one for occasions that don’t involve an après-ski party can be challenging. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. 

For those who prefer subtle prints, black is often your best bet. The Hush pick below is such a timeless and subtle take on the Nordic knit, but if you love to make a statement with colour, the Monsoon and Cos options are playful and sure to turn heads.

Whether heading to a festive film night or winding down after a Christmas dinner, make sure to do it in style. Keep scrolling to check out our edit of the best Fair Isle jumpers to wear all winter long.
