Best Winter Cashmere Cardigan

Winter is finally here and I can start looking for some new warm clothes. My first item to buy? A cashmere cardigan of course! Here are the best winter cashmere cardigans that I’ve found in the stores:

Marled cashmere cardigan – J. Crew
Check out this first one. The cardigan is a little chunkier and it is fantastic over a thin t-shirt or tank. It hits at the hips and comes in a warm grey color. Plus, don’t forget where J. Crew gets its cashmere – the same place as a “world-famous mill in Piedmont” (to quote them) or otherwise known as Loro Piana – the designer and maker of fantastic and outrageously expensive cashmere (expect to spend at least $1000). This cardigan will only cost you $298.

Ralph Lauren Wool-Cashmere Cardigan
I love this next cardigan. Simple, basic and something you can pair with everything, whether it’s black leggings or a short skirt. It comes in 3 colors – red, heather grey, and black, and is the perfect cardigan for those looking for something basic to wear all winter. Get it for $225.

Splendid Shadow Stripe Cashmere Cardigan
This next item is so cute. It is a thinly striped cardigan that you can layer. You can even do that new look that women are trying out – layering one heavier cardigan over a lighter one. This cardigan is so thin, but yet so warm. The stripes give it a trendier look than the traditional one color cardigan. The v-neck in front also makes it very flattering when buttoned or worn open. Buy it at Splendid.com for $267.

Vince Cashmere Draped Shrug
I love all things by Vince. The material he uses is just so nice and his clothes always look good on. This next piece is a modern take on the traditional cardigan. They call it a draped shrug because it does just that. Drapes over the shoulders and hangs delicately in front. Check out the three-quarter cap sleeves that show off your arms, but still keep you warm in the winter. Buy this one at Bergdorf for $285.

Theory Hollis Cashmere Cardigan
This next piece from Theory is a long cardigan. I love long cardigans in the winter. Ever feel like your legs get cold and you don’t know what to do? Well, I always choose a long cardigan when I know I’m going to be out late. This way, my legs will be protected since my boots never come that far up. This Theory long black cardigan is gorgeous. It falls slimly over your body and is thin so it doesn’t make you look chunky. Shopbop.com is carrying this for $365.

Kate Spade ‘Courtney’ Cashmere Cardigan
For those of you looking for something more conservative, but still want to have a little fun, try this cream and black cardigan from Kate Spade. The pockets are topped with little white bows and the black and white look works great with skirts and shirts in different colors. Buy this from Nordstrom for $295.

White + Warren Superfine Ruffled Cashmere Cardigan
A cardigan doesn’t always have to be so conservative. Check out this really feminine cardigan that adds so much to a plain white t-shirt and jeans. After putting this on, I felt transformed into someone much girlier. The knit is so fine and thin and the ruffles drape really prettily around your body. I tried it with a pencil skirt and tank and it looks great too. It costs $295 and is well worth the investment.

Aqua Wrapped Cashmere Cardigan
If you’ve never seen this brand, go check it out at Bloomingdales. Aqua makes some of the best and most affordable cashmere clothing. Plus, their styles are always trendy and updated so you can never go wrong with one of their items. This wrap has an oversized shawl collar which drapes prettily around the neck. Then, you just wrap it in front for a fantastic look over your leggings, jeans and any shirt. It comes in black or heather brown and you can buy it for $178 at Bloomingdales. What a steal!

Michael Kors Cashmere Shrug
Finally, I couldn’t resist throwing in this Michael Kors Cashmere Shrug that I saw at Bergdorf Goodman. I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for something to throw on over my dresses. I love my fall dresses, but sleeveless is just too cold in the winter. Why not throw on a cashmere cardigan or cashmere shrug? This shrug is so cute, hits above the waist, and will keep you warm in your dresses all winter long. Get it for $595 or shop around for others.

    These are some great cardigans for the winter! My favorites are the Splendid Shadow Stripe Cashmere Cardigan, Kate Spade ‘Courtney’ Cashmere Cardigan, and White+Warren Ruffled Cashmere Cardigan. The Michael Kors Cashmere Shrug is cute too. I love shrugs and am glad to see that they’re so in this fall/winter.

    [...] with too many ruffles, what I call “bells and whistles” is probably a mistake.  Since the cashmere cardigan already covers up half of your body, you don’t want to add something extra to make it look like [...]
