Vogue’s Edit Of Cosy Cashmere Jumpers To Kick-Start Your Winter Wardrobe
The best cashmere jumpers keep you warm on the coldest days, but won’t make you overheat the second you get indoors. Think: snug, not sweat-inducing.
How does one go about finding such a versatile knit? Browse both pure cashmere and cashmere blends of different thicknesses to find your ideal jumper, and make sure to try it on with existing pieces in your wardrobe to ensure it goes with what you already own.
Are cashmere jumpers worth it?
Warm, luxurious and long-lasting, a cashmere jumper is a bonafide wardrobe classic. Made from finely-woven wool, the fibre is known for being one of the softest available – hence the price point. However, in recent years more high-street brands have been offering cashmere, making it available at a more accessible price.
Regardless, the key to protecting your investment is looking after your cashmere well. This means hand-washing those knits, keeping them folded in breathable storage bags and protecting them from moths to ensure they look their best for many years to come.
What to look for in a cashmere jumper?
While classic V-necks, crew necks and roll-necks have long-lasting appeal, there’s also a lot to be said for contemporary updates that marry the finest cashmere with colourful patterns and intarsia finishes.
Don’t skip the men’s department, which so often has great options depending on what you’re looking for. Men’s styles tend to be looser-fitting, more heavyweight and have a more fitted neckline, while women’s cashmere knits are often available in a wider variety of colours.
What colour should I buy?
Black, white and grey are classic choices, but a peppy bright is an immediate mood-booster – high-street brands such as Cos, M&S and Arket have some great options.
