fresh take on the fair isle sweater
This is a very cute soft sweater, but it is very big and boxy. Initially, I followed the size guide for Barbour instead of trusting what many reviewers said about how oversized it was. It’s definitely big, but it drapes really nicely- and once you get the sizing figured out -,it’s a great sweater. I would say a way to figure out your size is to look at what it tells you on the side scale and then go down one size which is what I did in the end.
As far as styling this - You can wear it tucked in a bit in front or you can pull it out and it has that great high low hem feature, which is nice. I actually liked the colors and felt like they were complementary and seem to work with a lot of different looks. I have a fair number of fair isle sweaters, and I like that this one has a bit more of a stylish twist on the tradition look.
