Millie Mackintosh has found the perfect knit to see you through winter, with fans racing to snap up her fair isle jumper before the ‘thick and cosy’ knit sells out
We can always count on Millie Mackintosh to put together a chic, practical and easy-to-wear outfit, and her latest look is no exception. The mum of two knows how important it is to find pieces that are easy to throw on to keep in your wardrobe for those busy days when you still want to look put together, and her new Boden knit is the perfect example.
Millie recently included the Eleanor Fair Isle Jumper as one of her “looks I’ve been wearing on repeat this autumn”, and it’s not hard to see why. The colourful knit is fun, timeless, warm, and easy to pair with anything, making it a great item to keep in your wardrobe.

Although you could easily throw it on with some jeans and a pair of trainers for colder or more casual days, Millie showed how easy the knit is to dress up, too. She paired her £129 Eleanor Fair Isle Jumper with a satin midi skirt and a pair of knee high boots, completing the look with some sunglasses and a slouchy shoulder bag.
The jumper’s bold print brought a splash of colour to the otherwise neutral outfit, with Millie opting for the pale blue colourway which has pops of pink, green and orange in the fair isle pattern. However the jumper does also come in dark green with hints of turquoise and purple, or navy with red and white patterns for a slightly more festive feel.
If you prefer a more neutral colour combination, The White Company’s Blurred Fair Isle Jumper With Alpaca comes in a beige and cream colour combo, with a similar price tag of £120. If you’re looking for some that are a little more budget-friendly – we are approaching Christmas, after all – the Per Una Embellished Fair Isle Jumper with Wool is on sale at M&S, down from £55 to £44.
Alternatively, House of Bruar’s Ladies Lambswool Icelandic Crew jumper is also on sale, reduced from £79.95 to £59.95, with a choice of three colours. For something that could double as a chic nod to a Christmas jumper, Fat Face’s £45 Noelle Navy Fairisle Knitted Crew Neck Jumper is perfect, with the fair isle print made up of presents, Christmas trees and stars.
However Boden’s website says the Eleanor Fair Isle Jumper is currently “selling like hot cakes” online, although currently it’s still in stock in all sizes from an XS to an XL, so snap it up before it sells out. There’s currently only one review, which is a five star one saying: “I bought a size m, I’m a 12 to 14. It fits beautifully. The knit is thick and cosy. The colour is true to the photos. Can’t wait to wear when the weather gets cooler!”
