Thankfully such a luxurious fabric is not just limited to your high-end designer brands, it’s now accessible on the high street. Here are my top reasons why you should invest in cashmere this season and also our top picks from the high street.
Cashmere is known for being luxurious and soft. it is made from the fine hair of cashmere goats, which makes it incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. When you wear cashmere, you will feel like you are wrapped in a cloud of warmth and luxury. The lightness of the fabric is perfect for winter layering. You can easily wear them under a coat or jacket without feeling weighed down or comprising on insulation as it’s much warmer than regular wool. Also because of its lightness you can create a slim silhouette giving a flattering finished look to your outfit.
Despite its delicate appearance, cashmere is actually a very durable material. With proper care, cashmere sweaters can last for many years. They are resistant to pilling and stretching which means they will retain their shape and quality over time. Investing in quality cashmere is a wise choice that will pay off in the long run.
Cashmere sweaters or cardigans are classic and timeless pieces that will never go out of style. They can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for any occasion. Whether you are going to the office, or a casual outing. or a formal event, a cashmere sweater will always look elegant and sophisticated.
