Fashionable women throughout Europe have brought back this "outdated" knitwear trend just in time for winter—here are…

      As winter approaches, it’s clear that knitwear season has officially begun. With temperatures dropping, practicality reigns supreme, making layering essential for getting dressed each morning. In the colder months, I often find myself stuck in a cycle of wearing the same comfortable outfits, but this year, I’m aiming to stay ahead by curating a selection of go-to pieces that are both warm and stylish.

      A fair isle knit is one of those essential items. Once deemed 'outdated', fair isle knits have recently made appearances on the autumn/winter 2025 runways (notably by Altuzarra and Khaite) and are now favored by many fashionable European women, showcasing their modern and chic revival. In 2025, a fair isle knit blends nostalgia with refinement, providing a simple way to appear fashionable and put-together with minimal effort. Whether paired with jeans and boots, tucked into a satin slip skirt, or layered over a dress, a fair isle knit is a reliable choice for those days when comfort is key.

      With my newfound appreciation for fair isle knits in mind, I've compiled a list of the best fair isle pieces currently available. I’ll definitely be investing in a couple (or maybe three…). Stay cozy out there!
