Cozy Winter Outfit: Styling a Fair Isle Sweater

Winter fashion is all about blending comfort with style, and today, I’m sharing my favorite go-to cozy winter outfit featuring a Fair Isle sweater, an oversized white blouse, wide-leg jeans, and my trusty Ugg snow boots. To keep things fresh, I’ve styled this base look with two different coats for two distinct vibes. Let’s dive into the details! Vogue said it best- ‘Fair Isle sweater is never not in style

The Base: Wide-Leg Jeans and a White Blouse

You can never go wrong with a classic white blouse as the foundation of an outfit. I’m wearing my oversized white blouse that I have had for a few years now. It adds a polished touch (ignore the wrinkles haha ) while being incredibly versatile. Since I have a relatively short neck, I love layering it under a crewneck sweater—the collar gives the illusion of length and adds a chic detail to the overall look.

My wide-leg jeans are a dream! They’re high-waisted with a bit of waist control, which creates a long and lean silhouette. These jeans pair beautifully with winter boots, casual flats, or even a dressier heeled boot for a more elevated outfit.

Fair Isle Sweater for a cozy winter outfit

The star of this look is my Fair Isle sweater. I adore its cozy, woolen feel and the gorgeous mix of grey with green, cream, and rust detailing around the collar, cuffs, and hem. It’s perfect for creating that classic winter vibe, making me think of snowy ski lodges and warm firesides (even if I haven’t hit the slopes in years!). I’ve linked similar Fair Isle sweater options at the end of this post—trust me, they’re wardrobe staples.

Winter Boots: Ugg Snow Boots

For footwear, I’m sticking with my Ugg snow boots. I’ve had them for a couple of years, and they’re perfect for everything from a cozy stroll around the lake to running errands on chilly days. They keep my feet warm and dry, plus they’re stylish enough to complement this outfit. I’ve linked a few similar Ugg boot styles below, so you can find your perfect pair.

Two Coats, Two Looks

To finish off the outfit, I’m showcasing two coat options that completely transform the look:

Green Wool-Blend Coat: This tailored, button-front coat adds a touch of elegance. It’s easy to move in and elevates the outfit for a polished winter vibe.

I have styled this coat with a black and white houndstooth skirt here.

Plaid Shacket Coat: For a more casual, mountain-inspired style, I opted for a plaid button-up shacket. It’s cozy and perfect for laid-back days in Utah’s chilly winter weather.

Both coats are versatile and make this outfit ideal for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to slightly dressier winter gatherings.

My Cozy Winter Outfit Must-Haves

This outfit—wide-leg jeans, an oversized white blouse, a Fair Isle sweater, Ugg snow boots, and a great coat—is my go-to look for winter. It’s effortlessly stylish, warm, and comfortable for whatever the season throws your way.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
