Cashmere season is my favorite and I always love living in cashmere as soon as it gets cold out. I am rather picky about cashmere because, let’s be honest: not all cashmere is created equal!

I have tried out a lot of brands and really found some winners over the years. I think investing in quality cashmere is an important part of building a wardrobe full of quality staples. 

The Best Cashmere Sweaters

Today’s post is about highlighting my tried + tested cashmere with you so you know what’s worth investing in. Below, in a shoppable widget, I have also rounded up the styles available now from brands I like so be sure to read on to shop more styles!

Jenni Kayne Cashmere Fisherman Sweater

I love how versatile this sweater is. And man, is it soft. After buying it I found myself reaching for it again and again. And I’ve had no significant issue with pilling whatsoever on it (a true sign of the quality of their 100% cashmere) and why I feel it is worth its price tag. It has a classic crewneck silhouette and I love the subtly texture to it. It feels extremely luxurious every time I slip it on. 

I find it true to size – I am wearing a M. I now own this in the Oatmeal (seen above), the Ivory, the Black and the Charcoal.

Jenni Kayne Cashmere Fisherman Hoodie

Slouchy, comfy, cozy perfection. Both the body and the hood are slightly oversized making this a 100% cashmere sweater you’ll want to live in.

In the winter I absolutely love traveling in this cozy sweater. It’s cute with jeans but also pairs well with my favorite leggings and joggers.

I sized up to a size Large for a more oversized fit.

COS Cashmere Crewneck

This COS sweater that is one of the most versatile and flattering pieces I own. I first bought it in a charcoal gray years ago and then this season picked up the gorgeous, on-trend chocolate brown. It comes in a variety of colors from which you can choose!

Their cashmere is really good. It’s wearability, quality and versatility make it worth the price tag in my opinion. I’m wearing a Medium. I like that their cashmere styles are also very timeless meaning you’ll own and be able to wear the pieces for many, many years.

In addition to their cashmere sweaters, I’ve also purchased cashmere hats and scarves from the brand. If you’re not familiar with them, they are the higher-end label to sister brand H&M.

Everlane Boxy Cashmere Crew

This sweater was a new addition to my rotation the last two years. I like the boxy cropped fit of it because it means it pairs well with high waisted pants, skirts and layers well over oversized button downs like seen below paired with the Jenni Kayne Boyfriend Shirt (size S).

I sized up to a L in this style. 

Everlane Cashmere Crewneck

Everlane also makes a good, well-priced Cashmere Crewneck as well. I recommend sizing up if you like a roomier fit.

Jenni Kayne Cashmere Half Zip

I live in this sweater in Fall and Winter. It’s so cozy and perfect for pairing with jeans and with leggings. The cashmere is so thick and luxe. 

Wearing a size M.

Jenni Kayne Cooper Cardigan

This cardigan went viral on Instagram and for good reason thanks to its chic silhouette and oversized cuffs. Thanks to its 30% cashmere it is very soft to the touch.

This runs really small. I had to size up to an XL to be able to wear it buttoned.

La Ligne Marin Sweater

Last year I fell in love with the small brand La Ligne who makes delicious cashmere. They are $$$ but given how much I live in my collection of cashmere sweaters and how beautifully these are made, they’ve been worth it.

The most plush, luxurious sweater with a perfectly slouchy oversized yet tailored fit – the La Ligne Marin Sweater is a cashmere dream. Warm enough for the winter but also magically great for summer nights, too.

I love the wide variety of colors it comes in and I now own the Cream/Ivory Stripe, the Ivory/Navy and the Navy/Ivory. This year I also bought the new Solid Marin Sweater in the dreamy chocolate color.

I own this sweater in both a Small and a Medium as it runs oversized. I would buy another color in the M. 

Right now for a limited time I have a promo code for 10% off your first order – use MEGHAND10 at checkout.

If you’re more of a cardigan person, shop the Marin Cardigan.

La Ligne Mini Marin Sweater

The Mini Marin is the cropped, slightly shrunken version of their Marin Sweater. I like to pair it with high waisted pants or denim but it also goes well with midi skirts.

I have this in two colors as well – Black/Cream and Navy/White. I own it in a Medium but recommend sizing up if you like a roomier fit.

Right now for a limited time I have a promo code for 10% off your first order – use MEGHAND10 at checkout.

I also love the look of this sweater as a cardigan: the Mini Marin Cardigan.

La Ligne Solid Mini Marin

And here’s the solid version of the Mini Marin. I’m wearing a L in the Cream colorway.

La Ligne Lean Lines Sweater

I wore this sweater so much in black/camel that I bought it in ivory/camel for summer and winter wear. I draped it over my shoulders all summer with my ivory dresses and now I’ve gone on to acquire additional colors of it as well as the newer Solid Lean Lines Sweater.

It is my most worn cashmere sweater year round.

It’s such a versatile striped knit and I love the extra long sleeves on it that means the stripe pokes out under jackets. I love the Black & Tan I bought as it looks great layered under black jackets or camel coats. It’s super soft, not overly bulky and comes with side slits that make it easy to tuck.

I sized up to a L.

La Ligne Toujours Sweater

Named because you’ll want to wear it tous les jours. (‘all the days’ in French), this Toujours Sweater is a great ribbed cashmere sweater with a loose crewneck and slouchy yet put together silhouette. It comes in a variety of colors and I would recommend sizing down.

I’m wearing a size Small in the Ivory above. 

La Ligne Mini Tourjours Striped Sweater

A thinner, more cropped version of the Toujours sweater, the Mini Toujours is also a ribbed knit made of 100% cashmere. It’s a medium weight and definitely less plush/thick than the original Toujours making it great for every day and has a drop shoulder making it casually cool. It hits at the hip so I’d size up if you’d like a more oversized fit.

I really like this one for layering under coats.

This style also comes in solid colors. Available in sizes XS-XL. I wear a L.

Aqua Ribbed Cashmere Crewneck

Bloomingdale’s in-house label of cashmere is such good value.

This ribbed cashmere sweater of mine from the line is one of my most worn pieces that I bought about five years ago. Wearing a size M.

Another ribbed cashmere I own and like is this J.Crew Relaxed Ribbed Cashmere Crewneck.

J.Crew Cashmere Crewneck

If you’re looking for cashmere on more of a budget, this crewneck is a good option. It has a good weight to it, a classic silhouette and loads of colors to choose from. It is priced at $128 and has lots of sizing options, too.

I’m wearing a M but I would buy another color in a Large for a more boyfriend fit.

J.Crew Cropped Cashmere Crewneck

I like the J.Crew Cropped Cashmere Crewneck for pairing with higher waisted skirts as styled above.

It is a thin cashmere and runs rather small. I’m wearing a L above. 

This comes in loads of colors and sizes, too.

J.Crew Relaxed Cashmere T-shirt

A cashmere tee? Yes! This cashmere tee is a favorite layering building block for me. It pairs really well under my favorite cropped jackets and blazers. I own it in three colors now.

I size up to a L. 

J.Crew Brushed Cashmere Tee

If you like a fuzzy looking sweater, the J.Crew Brushed Cashmere tee is perfect. Wearing an XL.

They offer this brushed cashmere fabric in a variety of styles you can browse.

White + Warren Essential Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

The White + Warren essential cashmere sweater is another favorite investment cashmere sweater of mine. White + Warren is definitely on the pricier side but if you’re going to buy investment pieces, cashmere is a great way to start. I love this sweater on its own but it is also great layered under cardigans during the coldest of months. I have owned it for several years and it still gets loads of wear. They also make it in a v-neck version if that’s more your style. 

I also have the White + Warren cashmere travel wrap and it’s so dreamy for work from home and for travel. I never get on a plane without it and own three colorways now. It is *that* good.

And I own their cashmere beanie.

Eileen Fisher Cashmere

Made sustainably and often from recycled materials, the Eileen Fisher cashmere is $$$ but oh-so-plush. The above turtleneck from three years ago is one of the absolute coziest pieces in my entire closet. I always reach for it on the coldest days of winter.
