Cashmere clothing comes with a certain romance. Beyond soft, and exquisitely crafted, it conjures visions of snow-whipped landscapes, historic looms and glamorous lives.
In reality, a cashmere sweater is one of the hardest-working and longest-wearing pieces women can own. Travel companion, winter warmer, dinner date, WFH stalwart: you name it, the cashmere jumper is up to the challenge. Transcending trends, it’s the kind of knit you can pull out of your closet at short notice year after year, confident it will work with everything from tailoring to sweatpants. With temperatures only set to drop further over the coming months, super snug cashmere sweaters make a wise investment. And when you buy well, you only need to buy once.
From classic crewnecks to brightly colored button-ups and relaxed V-necks, discover our pick of the best women’s cashmere to cuddle up in this season and endless seasons to come.
LOFTY CASHMERE
CURVED HEM SWEATER
Along with the treasured little black dress, beloved blue jeans and wear-with-everything white tees, round-neck cashmere sweaters have earned their place in the fail-safe fashion hall of fame. Case in point: our Merino Cashmere Curved Hem Sweater + Snood.
Spun from a midweight blend of 7gg merino wool and cashmere, knitted off-gauge for a loftier tension, it’s the kind of classic piece you’ll pull on for coffee catch-ups, chilly commutes and weekend walks every time winter rolls around.
Thoughtful details add to its appeal. The relaxed shape with dropped armhole positionings is comfy without being too slouchy. Sporty ribbed trims on the cuffs, round neckline and hem pull in the silhouette, while the detachable snood transforms the silhouette, introducing more welcome warmth to your outfitting. Pairing perfectly with high-waisted bottoms and waistband details, the curved hem of this cashmere sweater rises at the front to avoid any unwanted bulk around the middle.
Your only dilemma? What color to choose. From classic navy to ultra pink – there’s a shade to suit all tastes and occasions.
MERINO CASHMERE MOULINÉ TRIM V-NECK SWEATER
There’s something about a V-neck knit that equals effortless elegance.
Perhaps it’s because it showcases a flattering slice of décolletage; without revealing too much. Or maybe it’s how it hits the sweet spot between casual and smart. Either way, when the V-neck sweater in question is as luxurious as our Merino Cashmere Mouliné Trim rendition, it makes a savvy style investment for the winter months.
This sweater is crafted from an ultra-soft, mid-heavyweight luxurious blend of 5gg merino wool and cashmere in a creamy hue with contrasting striped trims outlining the neckline and cuffs. Such a colorful finish lends this neutral sweater a sporty vibrancy – and will brighten your complexion on Monday meetings. Then there’s the expert fit: subtly relaxed, with long sleeves that can be cuffed back to display decorative detailing on your base layers.
ICON CASHMERE CROP BOX HOODY
Meet the humble hoody, raised to new levels of luxury.
Crafted from the softest cashmere we could find, it feels elevated enough to take you well beyond nights on the sofa. Plus, its sportswear-infused styling makes it an unexpected and modern way to wear cashmere – far from your average women’s crewneck sweater. This perennial and practical piece will keep you warm on long winter walks and snug on long-haul flights, but it also looks chic layered underneath a boyish blazer for city meet-ups.
The shape stays true to its athletic roots: easy, relaxed, slightly boxy. But this deceptively simple design hides meticulously thought-out detail, such as a drawstring hem and cleverly concealed button fastenings that transform the style into a cashmere cardigan.
This most iconic of cashmere hoodies now comes in a spectrum of bold primary colors and timeless neutrals, ideal for slipping under your favorite winter coat.
MERINO CASHMERE COLOR BLOCK SWEATER + SNOOD
Sweeten bitterly cold winter days with our Merino Cashmere Color Block Sweater + Snood in treacle, ultra pink, navy, and orange. Delivering a welcome hit of candyfloss cheer, this covetable knit has a dreamily-soft texture.
Color-block panels emphasize the style’s construction and lend it a flattering finish and polished feel. Meanwhile, a detachable snood (a ME+EM signature) adds a covetable warmth on particularly chilly days.
Style this mood-boosting number with our Pop Check Relaxed Man Pant, or use it to cozy-up dark denim and leather. A season-spanning staple, this is the kind of winter cashmere staple you can take with you for breezier summer evenings on British coastal escapes or New Year getaways that involve snug pub lunches and bracing country strolls.
MERINO CASHMERE MOULINÉ VEST + SNOOD
Want to invest in cashmere but can’t decide which you’d wear more out of a crew neck or polo neck style? Dither no longer: this vest caters to both needs thanks to its ingenious detachable snood collar.
Wear sans-snood on milder days, then transform it into a roll neck when the weather bites. Crafted from a mid-heavyweight luxurious blend of 5gg merino wool and cashmere for structure and warmth, it’s cut to a sleeveless silhouette to accommodate dramatic sleeves while keeping bulk at bay and making it easier to layer underneath tailored coats.
MERINO CASHMERE SEAMLESS FASHIONED SWEATER
Brighten snow-covered scenes in our electric-blue merino-cashmere sweater. Easy-going and relaxed with a timeless appeal, this might just be the perfect off-duty knit.
Crafted from the softest cashmere sourced in Italy blended with merino wool for shape retention, this is one of those contemporary classics that looks as relevant today as it will in ten years. But the real draw lies in the little touches: a grown-on neckline will keep you warm and a seamless design is granted shape and definition through a series of ribbed details that create an effortless vibe. Deliberately deep cuffs can be worn loose, long and exaggerated or rolled back for a casual turn-up.
Layer it under a color-block winter coat, pair it with white jeans or choose comfort with our Pop Stripe Check Man Pant.
MERINO CASHMERE ABSTRACT INTARSIA SWEATER + SNOOD
The sumptuous blend of cashmere and merino wool aside, it’s the abstract pattern in a combination of bold color and monochrome shades that gets us excited at the prospect of pulling on this luxe sweater.
The striking intarsia design breathes new life into your winter closet. Its button-in snood adds mileage to your investment, while the roomy cut introduces just the right amount of relaxed to your looks.
Embrace soft textures and pair it with our Italian Flannel Clever Twill Pant. For ultimate hygge, top off your outfit with our Statement Shearling Coat.
