Jenny from the Block stepped out on the block in the patterned sweater style that celebs always reach for — a Fair Isle knit.
Earlier this week,Jennifer Lopezwas spotted hand-in-hand with husbandBen Affleckas they leftThe Music Manin New York City. Normally, we’d be staring at the two in the state of their newlyweds bliss, but there was something else we couldn’t keep our eyes off of: J.Lo’scashmere Ralph Lauren sweater.
The geometric red and white pattern danced around the singer’s wrists, waist, and of course, near her neckline. Instead of wearing pants — a safe bet during fall and winter — she styled the Fair Isle sweater with a sheer floor-length skirt that flowed freely, flashing occasional glimpses of the star’s legs. The final touch? She accessorized with a chunky belt around her waist.

We’ve noticed that other celebrities likeKatie HolmesandKate Middletonalso tend to break out their Fair Isle knits around this time. Last year, Holmes stepped out in the Big Applein a beige Fair Isle sweater, looking warm as ever with her coordinated corduroy pants and layered turtleneck. And earlier this year, Kate dazzledin a cream patterned knit, complete with gold buttons.
While we love J.Lo’s sweater, our wallets have something to say about the $1,690 price tag. Luckily, we found five budget-friendly options so you can get a similar look for as little as $43.
Similar to the singer’s sweater, thischunky lambswool knitalso features a red and white color palette — candy canes, anyone? If you’re looking to invest in a knit that you can wear for many months to come, thecream and bright blue coloris the ideal pastel palette for spring.
And our favorite part about the mock neck sweater? Our necklaces get more attention! Oh, and it’s more than half-off right now.
