Go ahead—cozy up to these impeccably soft options with our edit below of the best cashmere sweaters to shop now.

Classic Crewnecks

The easy, comfortable fit of a classic, cashmere crewneck cannot be underestimated. Load up with wallet-friendly styles from J.Crew—this black option is a timeless pick—or splurge for a luxe pullover from contemporary brands Lisa Yang and Éterne, which have all the makings of an timeless addition you will rely on for years to come. Wear these with everything from your favorite pair of jeans and loafers on the weekend, to a smart midiskirt and knee-high boots to the office.

Cozy Cardigans

Cozy, cashmere cardigans are a favorite among the street style and celebrity set—and while it’s hard to forget the timeless, beige oversized pick from Khaite that Katie Holmes infamously donned (which happens to still be a must-have on our editors’ lists), prim and proper silhouettes are also on the rise, like those from Theory and Dôen. For best results, wear your cashmere cardigan of choice with a lived-in pair of straight-leg jeans and leather boots for a match made in fashion heaven. It’s a quintessential fall outfit that oozes style with little effort involved.

Roomy Turtlenecks

In the colder months, there’s nothing like cozying up in a yummy oversized cashmere turtleneck. Treat yourself to sumptuous options from The Row, Toteme, and Naadam, the latter whose cashmere offerings are a fashion editor’s best kept secret. For a similar look for less, turn to Cos for options in a plethora of colors, from beige and green to navy blue. Pair any of these oversized silhouettes with a baggy, wide-leg trouser or a body-skimming maxiskirt for sartorial success, adding your favorite winter shoe into the mix.

Polished Polos

Prep school dressing is always a top trend during the fall season, and a polished knit polo is the quintessential way to do the look right without looking too back to school. Some of our favorites include affordable takes from Banana Republic and La Ligne, while the holy grail of Italian cashmere comes from Khaite, and is our recommended investment splurge in this grouping. Mix yours in with wardrobe constants such as a pleated skirt or trouser pant, for casual, cool looks with serious style points.

V-Neck Sweaters

If V-necks are your wardrobe go-to, find a few of our favorites below. From Casasola and Allude’s relaxed take, featuring a slightly roomier, baggy fit to Elder Statesmen’s structured version, you can’t go wrong with any of these cozy sweaters. We recommend adding a crisp, button-down shirt or a sleek, fitted turtleneck underneath, that can serve as a base layer for extra warmth, while acting as a fashion-forward styling technique that is both classic and minimal.

Sweater Vests

For winter and beyond, it turns out that a sleeveless sweater vest is as practical a layering piece as it is statement making. The vest in all its glory is having a moment now, but few are as luxurious as these cashmere picks from Nili Lotan or Extreme Cashmere. Styling tip: throw a well-loved, white long-sleeved T-shirt underneath for a casual, yet cool daytime look that pairs perfectly with your favorite, worn-in denim. It’s preppy chic.

Boat Stripes

A statement striped sweater should be a staple in your winter wardrobe—or any wardrobe for that matter. Of course, cool-girl brand Kule’s striped cashmere classic is at the top of our list, though, the options from Everlane and Madewell are equally desirable. Think beyond nautical summer fashion and style yours for winter with suede boots and a chic camel coat for long walks in the park or fashionable work attire for those days in the office.

Hoodies and Zip-Ups

For an effortless daytime look, find any of these neutral-colored cashmere hoodies and zip-ups from Loulou Studio, Aritizia, Linnea Lund, and more. The slouchy fit feels perfectly undone, pairing well with a sleek jean to even a leather midiskirt. You could even style the staple for a night out with a kitten-heel boot and minimalist handbag, whatever your heart desires. And obviously, it makes a great travel companion on that next red-eye flight when paired with a matching cashmere pant.

Sustainable Practices

When shopping for cashmere, it’s important to always consider its source. For Cuyana, its single-origin cashmere is certified by the Responsible Cashmere Standard, while Gobi Cashmere is also fully traceable and made from 100% Mongolian cashmere. Stella McCartney is committed to sustainable practices and contents, and London-based Arch4’s intent on mindfulness has achieved certifications by the Global Organic Textile Standard.
