The style index: Fair Isle sweaters

A chic take on a Christmas jumper you can wear all winter

Swap novelty reindeer and snowmen jumpers for the more stylish Fair Isle inspired style  – a winter wardrobe evergreen piece that will never go out out of style. Style with a satin skirt, a statement earring and ballet flats for the festivities or jeans and boots for a brisk post-turkey walk.
