Embrace a Nordic winter this year to let your inner snow bunny shine. Even if you’re not hanging out on the slopes this season the conditions are perfect for sporting après ski’s alpine look with Fair Isle prints to keep you chalet chic all season long. Fair Isle is the traditional use of multicoloured patterns and geometric designs in knitwear than can range in everything from Intarsia sweaters to leggings and cool outwear to scarves and gloves. This classic and festive wintery pattern isn’t just reserved for high altitudes and ski hills as urbanites are encouraged to give their cold-weather wardrobes an Aspen worthy makeover to fight the city chill. For black diamond level style, pile up on just the right mix of chunky knits, luxe layers, rich textures, furry accents and cozy woolen extras for best results. So suit up and avoid cabin fever this season by heating up winter’s frosty chill with Fair Isle’s après ski chalet chic inspiration.
