You Said: Yes to Fair Isle Sweaters

Ecote Fairisle Open CardiganWe asked: Would you wear Fair Isle Sweaters?

You said:  Yes to Fair Isle Sweaters, which were voted in 55% to 45%.

Style tip? The multi-color knitted patterns characteristic of Fair Isle sweaters always remind us of Winter.  They’re perfect for a ski date in the mountains, but they also work for a day in the city.  Juxtapose the rustic Fair Isle sweater against a sophisticated skirt and a chic winter coat.  If you dare, try mixing textures - the knit sweater and a sequined skirt would make for a glamourous combination.

Next question: Headbands have been a celebrity style staple since the premiere of Gossip Girl.  But what do you think?   Tell us, would you wear a Headband?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!

    Any chance for future survey results that there can be a link to more examples of the trend (i.e. using polyvore)? I’ve always liked your selections and it would be great to get a few more…

    I’m not really a fan. Though I like the Ecote cardigan, I always feel the Fair Isle Sweaters look more like those funky “holiday” sweaters with the Santas and things hehe

    Great idea, Christa! Actually, I’d like to compile the Polyvore outfits into a lookbook to make them easier to view. I’d also like to create some outfits with Fair Isle Sweaters to better show how to wear them. Will have to do a Ready Made Outfit or two!

    Have you seen how outfits and their related links are formatted on celebstyle.com? I recently got into that site because of the Gossip Girl posts… the editors take a look they see someone wearing (like a GG character) and offer links to all the pieces in the ensemble… either the actual one seen on the show or a less-expensive version. Another way to make it easy to access a lot of links.

    BTW, this led to one of my favorite recent acquisitions, which is very omiru in a number of ways… a $34 Urban Outfitters version of a D&G dress I loved on the show… which is red and black buffalo plaid! Must say, the desire to get something buffalo plaid all started at omiru, for me… :) Very happy with the look, cinched with a wide belt. http://www.celebstyle.com/2507970

    Does anyone have a pattern (Knitting) for an Irish Knit, either Cardigan or pullover, for a baby?
