Mens Trend Alert: Fair Isle Sweaters

November 19th, 2008

Cozy up in a thick knit sweater - the perfect antidote to the cool weater outside.  But instead of reaching for a plain, solid-colored sweater, mix things up a bit by investing in a good quality Fair Isle sweater.  The distinctive multicolored knitted patterns on the modern Fair Isle sweater are a wonderful foil to your everyday basics.  Presenting our five favorite Fair Isle inspired sweaters:

    88 is your “$” pick? i know we’re talking about quality sweaters here, but are you aware we are in a recession?

    Heavy knit sweaters are costly - but they’re worth the investment. Found a less-heavy knit Fair Isle sweater for $68, but I don’t like it nearly as much as the picks shown:
