Having a Moment

Fair Isle

Popularized by the Duke of Windsor back in the day, the graphic knits from Fair Isle—a small island just north of Scotland—have been worn by folks in the country for more than a century. And at a time when anything rugged with an authentic heritage is in fashion, the hearty highland knits couldn't be  more on trend. This fall, the graphic pattern has found its way into collections as varied as Burberry and Patrik Ervell to Club Monaco. But just remember, a little goes a long way.

Wool ties, $69 by Club Monaco

Scarf, $45 at Bloomingdale's

Socks, $20 by Ralph Lauren

Lambswool vest, $49.50 by Lands' End

Answer

With nearly every airline imposing a baggage fee nowadays, if you can get away with flying with just a carry-on, do it.
