Cashmere is one of the few things everyone agrees on. It’s soft, luxurious, and instantly elevates even the most basic winter uniform. It doesn’t need fanfare; it just works. And with colder weather setting in — and gift-giving season in full swing — it’s the right moment to update your own lineup or pick up something for someone who deserves a genuinely good present.
Cashmere also has range, which is why it’s impossible to own “too much.” The fabric shows up everywhere: classic crewnecks, oversized sweaters that double as weekend outfits, travel wraps that make airplanes tolerable, and gloves and hats that keep you warm without ruining your hair. The appeal is practical and indulgent at the same time, which is a rare combination in fashion.
We pulled together a list of the best, softest, and most consistently reliable cashmere pieces to carry you through winter. Some are staples. Some are upgrades. All of them make a strong case for choosing pieces that feel good, last, and actually get worn — not just admired in your closet.
JENNIE LIU Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
