Drew Barrymore, Katie Holmes, and Sydney Sweeney have all been seen in Fair Isle cozy knit sweaters. Shop the cozy winter wardrobe essential, loved by an InStyle writer, at Amazon, Nordstrom, Reformation, and more starting at $39.

Katie Holmes, Drew Barrymore, and Sydney Sweeney are all fans of the look.

I love nothing more than a cozy sweater on a snowy winter day, and right now, I’m hyper fixated on the Fair Isle knit style. While I’m usually partial to solid colors, the print caught my eye after I noted celebrities like Katie Holmes and Drew Barrymore wearing the Scandi-inspired style. Sydney Sweeney also proved that the knit isn’t just for sitting in front of the fireplace, curled up with a book (though that’s my preference). The star paired her oatmeal-colored Fair Isle sweater with leather pants for a cozy date night look. 

From sophisticated cardigans to casual pullover options, there are many ways to incorporate the Fair Isle sweater style into your winter wardrobe. I rounded up my top picks from Amazon, Nordstrom, J.Crew, Reformation, and more, with prices starting at $39.

Dokotoo Chunky Knit Cardigan 

$39 at Amazon

This under-$50 option is popular amongst Amazon shoppers, but despite the price, trust that it won’t get destroyed in the wash. One reviewer said that they’ve worn this several times and got “tons of compliments” and another said it was even warm enough for New England winters. Available in 10 colorways, the buttoned-up cardigan style adds a sophisticated touch to an otherwise low-key piece. It’s made with cotton, so despite having a cozy feel, it’s still breathable. 

Madewell Fair Isle Sweater

$168 at Nordstrom

Add some vintage flair to your wardrobe with this oatmeal-toned sweater that mirrors the look of Sydney Sweeney and Katie Holmes’. It’s made with alpha and wool material, the latter of which is designed to be more breathable and less itchy than traditional sheep’s wool. The oversized fit is ideal for lounging or holiday travel. Just pair it with some leggings or yoga pants, and you’re set to go.

Varley Brooke Fair Isle Knit 

$228 at Amazon

While it’s a bit of a splurge, this Varley zip-up knit sweater is a timeless piece. The luxe-looking style gives apres-ski vibes and can be worn simply with your favorite long-sleeved tee underneath, or layered unzippered with another sweater underneath it. The foldover collar will add an elevated, fashion-forward touch to your time at the slopes or just snuggled up at home.  

Line & Dot Kristy Cardigan

$129 at Amazon

A more subtle take on the Fair Isle print style thanks to its muted tones, this Line & Dot cardigan features the festive print in neutral shades of beige, light blue, and black. The knit’s mid-weight fabric is just cozy enough to offer up the plush feel you crave in the winter, but light enough that you can easily wear this in the fall, or even on cool evenings in the spring — especially since it also has a deep neckline.
