Have you heard about the latest trend taking the Pinterest/ Instagram / TikTok crowd by storm? Fisherman Style… AKA Knitwear. More specifically classic knitwear, stripes, and traditional Aran and Faire Isle colorwork. HELLO LOVER… this is just my jam. And maybe it’s yours too.

Now these trends tend to make costume of these traditional pieces, but I am here to say we in the New England States are always and already living it in many ways. While you may not pull out a Gordon’s Fisherman Yellow Slicker on rainy days, you might already have a Breton stripe in your wardrobe along with a cable sweater. I know I do. To truly be “Fisherman” there is a lot of overalls, and dungarees as well as tweed and some hints of English Country style tweed. I could defiantly add some tweed to my wardrobe and be incredibly happy about it.

I will also be adding in a regular rotation of some of my favorite KIY (Knit It Yourself) pieces from Adventure Bound Designs. Here is my first stab at an inspiration board. I wear many of these pieces regularly already:

So now I just need to add a few new things from other places, or yet to be knit designs like a cable cardigan, and a new colorwork vest. Both are on my many year aged to be knit list. SO tell me, are you into the Fisherman or coastal style? Are you going to add anything in to your rotation this winter to meet this trend?
