5 of the best cashmere jumpers
Words: Charlie Thomas
Despite the cold weather that winter brings, we look forward to the colder months. This is due to the face we can layer up, adding and playing with colour, texture and pattern. Knitwear is an essential part of this process, and of course, cashmere is one of the finest and most luxurious fabrics available.
Whilst you should expect to pay a premium for it, there are a select few brands offering cashmere at truly unbeatable prices. The burgeoning gentleman will want something to aspire to though, so the following is a list of 5 of the best cashmere jumpers available, whatever your budget.
JOHN LEWIS
If you haven’t checked out John Lewis’s AW14 collection, then now might be a good time. Well-made, affordable basics is the order of the day, and this cashmere crew-neck is no exception.

A v-neck jumper is ideal for throwing over your shirt and tie for those chilly winter commutes. A deep red such as this is an easy way to add colour to your cold weather palette, and you can’t argue with the price.

For the asking price you’ll be getting premium quality garment, which if looked after correctly will last you for years.
