Fair Isle jumpers after Christmas

[TheLostOnes]

I have a couple of really nice fair Isle jumpers but find I stop wearing them after Christmas. Do you carry on wearing yours throughout the year when cold enough? Mine aren't obviously Christmassy (no snow flakes in design etc.) but I wonder whether people would think I was wearing a Christmas jumper.

I don’t see why not! I am planning to wear my Fair Isle cardigan with jeans.

Yes, totally fine imo, especially as no snowflakes etc

Fair Isle has nothing to do with Christmas. I have several Fair Isle cardigans which I wear when it's cold. I wouldn't be seen dead and buried in a "Christmas jumper"

I do! I love mine.

This.
Fair Isle jumpers are not Christmas jumpers. I also wear mine all through autumn into winter (and whenever it's cold enough to wear a warm jumper).

I don't wear Fair Isle jumpers, but if you do, the pattern is fine to wear whatever time. I would find it strange and wasteful to restrict the wearing of clothes to a particular time of year (in ways other than the weather).

I have two fair isle jumpers basically on rotation at the moment. Neither are festive, both are cosy and warm.

Christmas is only the beginning of winter, its often way colder in Jan and Feb than it is in December so go ahead and wear the lovely warm jumper!

I have a Sugarhill Brighton jumper with stars on the arms and people kept asking me if it was a Christmas jumper, which I thought was odd.

Just the answers I wanted to hear, thank you! I don't have Christmas jumpers so they are what I've worn on Christmas jumper/meal days at work when everyone else is dressed festively as they are knitted and patterned in a similar way to proper Christmas jumpers. I guess that's what made me think people might think it was odd if I carried on wearing now.

Is anyone says anything just remind then the knit pattern isn't about Christmas, i wear mine throughout winter.

Claudia was happily wearing hers on the Traitors!

Got mine on right now

Yes and my Fair Isle socks!

Definitely wear them when it’s cold. I don’t do actual Christmas jumpers. I have a few sparkly jumpers that I tend to wear in the run up to Christmas. Only one of them is a bit too seasonal to wear after New Year. Its pattern could be interpreted as a bit like a Christmas decoration. All the others, including a green Arran in sparkly wool definitely get worn throughout winter
