Shop the best Fair Isle sweaters, jumpers and cardigans for winter and beyond on the high street – Kate Middleton is a big fan. These are the Fair Isle sweaters we buy from Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and more

We like it when the Duchess of Cambridge wears denim and like the true fashion pro that she is, Kate Middleton picked her favorite Jean & Other Stories worn with a jacquard jumper to read a classic children’s book on CBeebies.

After all, what else do you wear when you’re both a TV presenter and a Duchess? The mother-of-three was pictured cross-legged in a cozy Holland Cooper knit as she told The owl who was afraid of the darkby Jill Tomlinson for CBeebies’ popular TV program Bedtime Stories, airing tonight.

Kate’s timeless design, which retailed for £179, sold out as soon as the photo was posted, but there are plenty of Fair Isle jumpers on the high street that deserve a place in your wardrobe.

The multi-coloured knit-style knit has been a long-time favorite of the royal family, from portraits to après-ski parties, and the classic pattern has stood the test of time to become a classic winter piece that works from the chalet to street skiing.

Wear with everyday jeans and hi-top trainers for the day, or layer over a pie collar blouse or a basic white shirt for the office and if you’re feeling fancy, put a detachable ruffled collar on top. We love them accessorized with gold hoop earrings and chunky gold chains or diamond tennis necklacesand worn with leather pants or one mini leather.

Main Street has also moved away from the more traditional fair trade sweater colors of whites, nudes and browns to incorporate the pattern on punchy pinks, bold reds and greens, oranges and yellows while using the pattern on cardigans and zipped knitwear.

Whether you’re looking to invest in a cashmere sweater or grab a bargain, the high street is full of jacquard sweaters to suit your taste and budget – and these are our favourites.
