Redefine the holiday sweater

Nothing says winter more than one of these knit Fair Isle sweaters, and considering the sudden of arrival of December, why wouldn't you want to dress in tune with the seasons? Fair Isle refers to the technique used to knit this type of sweater, but is most commonly recognized by it's distinct festive patterns.

With a sweater like this, the bolder the better, so find one in bright colors and large eye-catching patterns. And yes, these sweaters are going to be as warm as can be, so you can stare the cold right in its ugly face and laugh. Pull it over a button-down or just wear it as a crewneck; either way people are going to be staring at you like you're radiating holiday cheer, and that is the point, right?
