Nothing Says "Luxury" Like a Cashmere Cardigan—14 That Feel Extra Special

@_livmadelineSuperior to its wool and synthetic sisters, cashmere is a winter favourite for its soft touch and insulating qualities. Warmer yet lighter than the aforementioned fabrics, cashmere will help you retain heat on colder days without causing you to overheat when the sun's out. Cashmere does come with a higher price point, and this is due to its harvesting requirements. Harder to source than typical wool, cashmere must be harvested from cashmere goats once a year, meaning that the fabric is naturally more expensive than its wool or cotton counterparts. But although this knitwear might feel delicate, cashmere fibres can be hardy, so if you look after yours well, it'll be in your wardrobe for a very, very long time.

@lucywilliams02Indeed, the cashmere cardigan has come a long way since the days when only our grandmothers were interested in these pieces. Now, new-season cardigans host a plethora of styling potential, from Miu Miu's cheeky micro-shorts-and-cardigan pairing to super-chic outfits composed of wide-leg trousers and cardigans that we're wearing on repeat. Already a favourite amongst influencers and the fashion set, cashmere has transformed the cardigan from the item you reach for only to pop to the shops or walk the dog.
