Women's Cashmere Sweaters

The cashmere sweater: softness and timeless luxury

Grade A cashmere is defined by its exceptional fineness and the immediate softness it brings against the skin: the benchmark for natural warmth without weight.

• Ultra-fine natural fibre: softer and lighter than sheep's wool weight for weight, with a smoother handle that sits comfortably against bare skin
• Natural thermoregulation: cashmere adapts to body temperature rather than simply trapping heat, making it comfortable across a wider range of temperatures than many expect
• Lightweight warmth: a fine-gauge cashmere sweater provides genuine insulation without adding bulk to the silhouette
• A material that gains suppleness and drape with careful wear and washing over time
• Timeless colourways: navy, grey, camel, black and ecru for pairings that need no explanation

How to style a women's cashmere sweater

The drape and lightness of cashmere make it one of the easiest pieces to move between registers without effort:

• With straight-leg jeans and loafers: the most effortless expression of casual refinement.
• With a leather skirt and heeled boots: a material contrast that adds edge to the softness of cashmere.
• With tailored trousers and mules: a smart-casual combination that works naturally for the office.
• Tucked into a high-waisted skirt or trousers: defines the silhouette and makes the look feel deliberate.
• Layered under a long coat or over a silk blouse: cashmere as the quiet, warm element in a more considered outfit.

The unwritten rule of a cashmere sweater: its restraint is what gives it power. Explore our full range of women's knitwear sweaters for more styles.

How to wash and care for cashmere

Cashmere requires gentle handling, but it's more resilient than its reputation suggests. A few consistent habits are enough to keep it in excellent condition for years.

• Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, no bleach or enzymes. For machine washing, check the care label first and use the wool or hand wash cycle only
• Never wring: roll in two dry towels and press gently to remove excess water without distorting the knit
• Lay flat to dry on a rack, away from heat sources and direct sunlight
• Never tumble dry: heat permanently felts and shrinks cashmere fibres
• Some pilling is normal, especially in areas of friction: remove gently with a wool comb
• Store folded where possible, in a dry place away from heat and direct light
