If I could have just one sweater for fall, it would definitely be this incredibly soft option.
If there's one thing I frequently complain about during the fall and winter, it's feeling cold. I enjoy crisp air just like anyone else, but once the temperature drops below 65°, one of my most repeated phrases becomes, "I'm cold" (repeatedly until late spring arrives). I wish I could be one of those individuals who does well with layers and bundling up, but I’ve never been that way (trust me, I've attempted). Once mid-September arrives, I always keep a cashmere sweater nearby. Whether I'm wearing it fully or it's draped over my shoulders or stashed in my bag for emergencies, it makes facing the cold a bit more bearable. Not to mention, they are soft, timeless, and immediately enhance any outfit—even the simplest essentials. My most frequently worn is J.Crew's Cashmere Relaxed V-Neck Sweater. Considering how much I wear it, I’m looking to grow my collection this year. Here are the brands I’ve been checking out while shopping for cashmere.
**J.Crew**
It's hard to overlook J.Crew when it comes to cashmere: they have an entire section called The Cashmere Shop. I already own one color of the Cashmere Relaxed V-Neck Sweater, but I’d like to add more. On my wishlist are the Cashmere High V-Neck Sweater and the Perfect Cashmere Crewneck Sweater.
**Loulou de Saison**
Founded by Parisian influencer Chloé Harrouche, Loulou de Saison was birthed from her quest for her ideal knitwear, which led her to create it herself. The collection is incredibly chic, all in neutral colors and classic silhouettes—I want every piece.
**Cos**
Our Shopping Director Bobby Schuessler recently shared on Instagram, "The Cos sweater I can't stop talking about"—referring to the Chunky Pure Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater. His endorsement inspired me to purchase one for myself. It’s the perfect heavyweight knit, available in beige, pink, and black.
**Banana Republic**
Another favorite at a more reasonable price is Banana Republic. The Oversized Midweight Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater is a wonderful wardrobe essential I know I’ll wear frequently. Turtlenecks are a winter necessity for me, so I’m also interested in the Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater.
**Other Cashmere Sweaters to Consider**
- Naadam: The Original Cashmere Sweater
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Julianna Cable Wool & Cashmere Sweater
- Zara: Long Sleeve Cashmere and Wool Sweater
- Almina Concept: Oversized Wool/Cash Sweater
- Reformation: Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater
- Jenni Kayne: Flynn Cashmere Sweater
