The Coolest Cashmere at Affordable Prices

Cashmere and luxury go hand in hand. There's a reason why someone will coo when touching your sweater, "Oh wow ... is that cashmere?" When that question is asked, you want the answer to be a decisive "it is." The softest, warmest and lightest-weight sweater that money could buy, cashmere was only recently democratized. Which means that if you don't have two grand for a sweater by Brunello Cucinelli or The Elder Statesmen, you can now find an impressive (and still damn soft) option for around $100.

Direct-to-consumer brands like Everlane offer some of the most affordable Grade A cashmere by cutting out the middleman. J.Crew uses yarn milled in Italy and buys enough in bulk to bring down the consumer cost while Uniqlo uses a propriety blend of grade A and B cashmere, the result being a soft but durable sweater. From thinner, lightweight options perfect for layering under a jacket, to thicker and cozier knits that will stand up to winter's chill, there's a style and price to suit anyone's taste.
