As the winter chill sets in, fashion-conscious shoppers are racing to snap up a cosy knit endorsed by style icon Millie Mackintosh. The former Made in Chelsea star has highlighted the Eleanor Fair Isle Jumper from Boden as one of her most-worn autumn pieces, causing it to sell at a remarkable rate.
The Must-Have Winter Knit
Millie Mackintosh, a mother of two renowned for her chic and practical outfit choices, recently shared her autumn wardrobe essentials. Among them was the colourful Eleanor Fair Isle Jumper, which she described as a look she's been 'wearing on repeat'. Priced at £129, the jumper is celebrated for being fun, timeless, and exceptionally versatile.
Boden's website currently flags the item as 'selling like hot cakes', though it remains in stock across all sizes from XS to XL at the time of writing. A lone five-star review praises the jumper's fit and quality, stating, 'I bought a size m, I'm a 12 to 14. It fits beautifully. The knit is thick and cosy.'
How To Style The Fair Isle Jumper
Demonstrating its versatility, Mackintosh showcased how the knit can be dressed up or down. For a casual day, it pairs effortlessly with jeans and trainers. For a more polished ensemble, she styled it with a satin midi skirt and knee-high boots, accessorising with sunglasses and a slouchy shoulder bag.
The jumper's bold fair isle pattern adds a vibrant splash of colour to neutral outfits. Mackintosh opted for the pale blue colourway, which features pops of pink, green, and orange. For those preferring different palettes, it is also available in a dark green with turquoise and purple hints, or a navy with red and white for a more festive feel.
Alternative Fair Isle Finds
If the Boden knit sells out or you're seeking other options, the market offers several alternatives. The White Company's Blurred Fair Isle Jumper With Alpaca provides a neutral beige and cream combo for a similar £120. For budget-friendly choices, M&S has the Per Una Embellished Fair Isle Jumper with Wool on sale for £44, down from £55.
Other notable options include the House of Bruar’s Ladies Lambswool Icelandic Crew jumper, reduced to £59.95, and Fat Face’s £45 Noelle Navy Fairisle Knitted Crew Neck Jumper, which features a festive pattern of presents, Christmas trees, and stars.
With its combination of style, warmth, and celebrity endorsement, the race is on to secure Millie Mackintosh's favourite winter knit before it disappears from shelves.
