Cashmere enthusiasts know there’s nothing out there quite like the textile that originates from a goat’s undercoat. So soft it feels like air and so fine it gleams with a subtle sheen, cashmere exudes luxury. In sweater form, it’s the ultimate everyday indulgence; an easy and effortless way to wrap yourself in warmth and style. Whether you’re treating yourself for fall and winter or spreading the wealth to a loved one for the holidays, look to one of the many cashmere sweater options available this season. From a classic pullover updated in the color of the moment to a cardigan that can be worn three ways, one slip into a cashmere piece and you’ll immediately understand why those who get it get it.
The Cardigan
The humble cardigan may be unassuming, but make no mistake — it’s the most versatile knitwear staple in your wardrobe. Case in point: You can wear it open as an outer layer, buttoned up as a top, or cinched at the waist to create more shape. If you don’t yet have a classic crewneck cardigan in rotation, start there. Otherwise, branch out and play with different proportions — super cropped, extra long — or new silhouettes — like an exaggerated hourglass silhouette.
The Pullover
Often, when people think of knitwear, the classic pullover comes to mind. But classic doesn’t have to mean basic. Look to seasonal colors, like burgundy or chocolate brown, or design details that can add visual interest, like wide or extra-long sleeves, unique necklines, or contrast piping. It’s such an enduring piece that you can afford to punch it up a bit.
The Turtleneck
Timeless and refined, a cashmere turtleneck will never steer you wrong. Every winter wardrobe needs at least two: A thin fitted one for tucking in and layering and a chunkier one for cozy warmth. Take cues from the style set this season and wear your thin turtleneck layered underneath a button-down shirt, and your oversized one with a knit scarf in a matching color.
The Hoodie
If stealth wealth had a mascot, there’s no doubt it would be a cashmere hoodie. It’s all in the juxtaposition — take the most laid-back piece and design it in the most luxurious fabric. Pairing a cashmere hoodie with matching lounge pants is of course a no-brainer, but the more interesting outfits come when you wear the knit in unexpected ways. Try it with tailored trousers, a sleek leather midi skirt, or under a sharp blazer.
The Polo
Consider the polo sweater to be the pullover’s fresh-faced younger sister. From playfully oversized collars to low V-necks that hint at skin, there’s an element of relaxed ease that comes with wearing one. This season, layer it with a white crewneck tee peeking out from underneath for max style points.
