From an apr&egrave;s ski to day-to-day life, this classic motif is perfect for any occasion.&nbsp;

It's the time of the year: wearing multiple <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/layered-tshirts-trend-runway-miumiu-loewe">layers</a> is officially the daily standard. Staying warm is a top concern, to be sure, but as many seasoned style savants know, that's no excuse for compromising your look. As temperatures continue to drop, consider the chic, sophisticated <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ralph-lauren-classic-timeless-runway-moments-90s-knitwear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fair Isle</a> motif: the ultimate mountain-inspired uniform, perfect for braving the slopes, or just dreaming of them.&nbsp;
This timeless print originated on the Scottish island of Fair Isle and is traditionally made out of natural <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/fall-winter-scarves-trend-prada-loewe-marni">wools</a> by the wives of sailors. Inspired by religious symbols like crosses and lozenges, the classic OXO pattern came to life. Later, smaller signs like rams, horns, and flowers rose to popularity, driven by artisans' local environments. The sweater truly skyrocketed to global fame when Edward, Prince of Wales, wore it in a portrait, associating it with sophisticated British high society and sporting life.&nbsp;
Today, the print has traveled all the way to the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/bedhair-fall-winter-2025-beauty-hair-trends-prada-gucci-mcqueen">runways</a> where fan-favorite labels have participated in the craft, making their own iterations on classic patterns and silhouettes. From Celine to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/khaite-spring-summer-2026-collection-runway-images">Khaite</a>, different versions have been created, marking it a coveted trend for the winter season. Seen on royalty and It girls like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kendall-jenner-birthday-best-bikini-pictures">Kendall Jenner</a> alike, this knit is among the must-have cold-weather trends of the season. Without further ado, shop L&rsquo;OFFICIEL-approved Fair Isle sweaters to find your perfect piece.&nbsp;
