Cashmere jumpers feel softer and lighter than their woollen counterparts. And that is all you should need to know to consider delving into the cashmere jumper market. The imperious softness and eco-friendly qualities of the fabric make it the ideal material to layer up in once the sun sets on outside rendezvous this season.
Cashmere is a magical material. It is softer, lighter, and up to three times more insulating than regular sheep’s wool. It comes from the cashmere goat found across the Himalayas where temperatures can plummet to the icy depths of -30C. The cashmere goat doesn’t produce as much usable material as a sheep and so, owing to the beautiful logic of supply and demand, that explains why the price is higher.
But make the leap and you shan’t regret it. Not only is cashmere the ideal construction for a layered look, but fashion brands are increasingly making it the most stylish option for your consideration. From timeless pieces by Everlane and Arket to those more statement takes by The Elder Statesman and Gucci, these are our pick of the best cashmere jumpers for men.
