Take a regular priced cashmere item. Usually you will pay more than $200 for a really nice piece of Kashmir. Of course you can always find cashmere for cheaper, but there is a big difference between high quality and low-quality cashmere. If you want to find your next beautiful cashmere coat were cashmere sweater, my suggestion would be to wait until now. By now, most stores are really trying to clear out their winter inventories. You may have to look in February sometimes because in March many of the women have already snatched up that cashmere that they have been waiting for. But the great thing of shopping for cashmere in February or March if that the stores are now discounting it more than 50%. So, instead of paying more than $200 for that really nice piece of Kashmir, you are now paying somewhere around $100 or less. Work, if you have been waiting to buy that cashmere coat, you are now paying $300 versus the $600 you might have had to pay in November.

If you want to get a collection of fantastic cashmere, you need to wait for the cashmere sale. Cashmere does go on sale, but you have to have patience. You need to be checking the stores every week from January. You need to be waiting for your specific item and already know the item that you want. Come February, when stores start to bring in a lot more of their spring line, they will want to clear out that winter line as fast as possible. Also, it is not too late now. Don’t forget that some of the online stores carry the end of season inventory a lot later than regular stores. So, don’t forget to go online to look for your favorite pieces of cashmere. Stores like bluefly.com and overstock.com will sometimes carry the end of season items at a huge discount. So, if you are looking to buy a few more cashmere cardigans for next winter, go on line now and start searching.

Pink is a fantastic color for women. Most of the time when women wear pink it makes them look like they are very feminine and girly. For those women that are trying to look more attractive to men, pink is a great color to add to your wardrobe. Most men do not wear pink very well, and it is primarily a woman’s color. Adding pink, reminds them of all of the things about women that they like. Pink reminds them of perfume, flowers, and just general feminine items. Do not try to decorate your entire room in pink. Nor do not try to wear all pink. However, adding a little pink to your wardrobe will really allow you to add that feminine touch.

A pink cashmere cardigan is an easy item to throw on all winter long. Whenever it gets cold, it is easy to add to your wardrobe. Unlike white which is very stark, pink makes a person look warmer and cozier. Also, pink actually accentuate a lot of the winter colors very well. Gray and black are the primary winter colors that you see in many women’s wardrobes. Adding a little pink at the touch of color without adding something to bold. If you are not used to wearing green or red or a yellow cardigan, consider choosing pink as an alternative. Pink is so subtle it is very close to white, therefore it is easy to add.

Finally, the pink cardigan will keep you warm all winter. During the very cold winters, you need items that you can easily throw on over other sweaters and long sleeve shirts. If you have a tendency to have a lot of neutral items in your closet then adding something with color will really help to brighten up your clothes. If you like color, then adding a pink item will really help to mix it up. So for all of you who did not pick up a pink cashmere cardigan yet during the winter sales, head out to the nearest department store to get that pink cardigan on sale for a great price.

Some cashmere cardigans can be very useful during the spring and the summer. Designers are starting to make thin cashmere that works perfectly during the warmer spring afternoons and sometimes even during the chilly summer nights. No longer do you have to wear your black cashmere cardigan that sometimes becomes too warm and it looks too hot. With spring comes a lot more choices for you to buy different color cardigans. More and more department stores are starting to carry new spring color cardigans. I have seen a fantastic pink cashmere cardigan or yellow cashmere cardigan. I’ve also seen a lot of fun blue cardigans or purple cardigans in stores now.

Right now is the best time to buy a new cardigan because a lot of stores are starting to carry the new styles. This is the season to buy something to wear over your clothes since it is still chilly outside and you will still need it with you from time to time. If you own a lot of white or neutral color clothes consider buying a fun spring color. New spring fashions show that purple is a great new color. Consider a purple cashmere cardigan or just a purple cardigan for you to wear around the office or when you’re out around town.

The great thing about a colorful cardigan is that it changes your outfit right away. Your outfit goes from something sort of plain and neutral and changes into something that is perfect for this spring or summer air. Your face immediately gets brighter with the new color that you’ve chosen. Match a pink cardigan with dark blue jeans and you look feminine and pretty at the same time. Take a yellow cardigan and pair that with black pants and immediately you look brighter and happier.

Recently Nordstrom’s had a lot of new cardigans in stock. A lot of great colors were starting to get sold out because so many women were trying to buy something new for their wardrobe. So if you are looking for that new cashmere cardigan or just a plain cardigan start shopping now.

Calvin Klein Pinched V-Neck Cardigan
The first one that I saw was this Calvin Klein cardigan.  The thing I love is the neckline.  It is scrunched up along the edges making the sweater look really feminine.  This long cardigan is a blend of cotton, wool and cashmere so it will keep you warm, but also take you into the Spring when it starts to warm up.  You can find it at Nordstrom’s for $79.

Neiman Marcus Milly Cardigan
This next sweater is a designer cardigan from Neiman Marcus.  It’s yellow with a navy trim.  Down the middle are these beautiful diamond shapes that decorate the front.  It makes this cardigan look so chic for work.  If you want something different from a solid color, try this one.  You can wear this in place of a blazer or any other work jacket since it looks very sophisticated.  The only downside is the price.  It’s a bit more expensive at $265 but well worth the investment for someone looking for a special piece to add to their wardrobe.

Anthropologie Cable Cardigan
This final one is so cute.  It’s more of a mustard cardigan.  It’s cable knit, open in front with no buttons.  It looks great over any dress or just a white shirt with jeans. You instantly look more dressed up because of the great drape in the front.  I would pair it with a chunky necklace to balance out the thickness of the cardigan.  You can get it for only $88, what a deal!

There are so many great styles of cardigans to choose from.  A yellow cardigan is so fun and different so consider one when you are shopping.  Happy shopping!

Finally, the other day, my friend talked me into going into the Loro Piana store.  Her reasoning was that if we bought one item from that store and it lasted for more than 5 seasons, then it would be worth it.  Normally, the items we were buying only lasted for 1 or 2 seasons.  So, we were spending $200 on a cashmere cardigan that lasted 1 or even 2 seasons.  If we spent $500 for an item that we could wear for even 3 or more seasons, then we would have gotten our money’s worth.

Luckily we walked in and tried on their cardigans.  The cashmere was the most wonderful cashmere I had ever felt.  The styles are classic which means you can wear them all the time.  Although the prices were much higher than we were used to, they seemed worth it since we knew we could wear them for a long time.

Below are a few examples of Loro Piana cashmere cardigans that I found in the store that I liked.

This first one is a Loro Piana Knit Bomber.  Very classic, very sleek, it looks great on most women.  It comes in a beautiful off white color that works great with most outfits.  You can actually buy this at Bergdorf Goodman.

This next one is a gorgeous orange and white striped cashmere cardigan set.  The sweater underneath is a cute v-neck, while the cardigan fits snugly on top.

Both of these looks are a bit more conservative, but they are great for the office.

When the cashmere cardigan came, I was pleasantly surprised.  The thing is, I chose one that was more than 40% off the original price.  This is the main reason why I ordered online.  It was so much cheaper than what I had found in the stores, even when I found cardigans on sale.  Therefore, I decided to save money and order the clothes online.  I had chosen a bright orange color because I wanted to brighten up my winter clothes.  The color was true to what I saw on the internet and the cashmere was great quality.  It felt really good and it fit well on me.  The only thing I regretted was not ordering another one.  There were many different colors to choose from and I had only chosen one color.  When I went back online to try and order another one, everything was sold out.  Therefore, I would recommend ordering a cashmere cardigan online and taking that chance, but next time, I would say order 2.  You can always return it and if you like it, you would have found a great deal.

Length:  First, think about the length.  A ladies long cardigan can fall anywhere from your hips to the top of your knees.  If you are a tall woman, you can get away with something that is a lot longer.  If you are a smaller or petite woman, I wouldn’t go too long unless  you are really skinny.  The length may look overwhelming.  If you’ve seen Mary-Kate or Ashley Olson, you’ve seen how the long cardigan can completely cover a person where only the face is peeking out and you can’t see their bodies.  Ladies – this look doesn’t flatter anyone.  Make sure that the long cardigan falls at a good place, otherwise it will look obvious that you are trying to cover up those hips or thighs.

Material:  This is important because the long cardigan sweater has to drape over your body.  Again, if you are pretty skinny, you can go ahead and buy a thinner material.  Thin cashmere, light wool, or just cotton will work in this case.  However, if you are a bit larger, then you should look for a materials that is firmer and falls better over the body.  Something flimsy will drape all over your body and reveal everything.  Something more solid will allow you to look fashionable and cover up a few of those flaws you are trying to hide.

Fit:  This is an important point.  Make sure the cardigan falls, but does not hug your body.  Unless you are a stick, hugging your body will reveal everything.  Buying something too big will make you look larger than you really are.  So, the key is to buy something that will button up easily, but still be a little bit fitted around your thighs and butt.  By doing that, you will find the most flattering cut.

Style:  There are many stylish cardigans these days.  However, for the long one, you want to go with something more conservative.  That’s because you will usually pair it with something flashier underneath.  Going for something 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 your entire body is covered with ruffles or sequins or whatever else.  Choose a solid neutral color and buy a long cardigan in that color.

1.     Style – What style cardigan are you looking for?  Do you want a long cardigan or a short cardigan?  If you want a trendy one, how trendy do you want to go?  Remember that if the item is too trendy, then you won’t be able to wear it next year and you may not want to spend too much money on it.  However, if the item is not that trendy and you are looking for something stylish, then you may not wear it and all of that money you spent on the cardigan will go to waste.

2.    Money – How much are you willing to spend?  There are countless choices and the prices range from $50 to more than $1000.  Cashmere is more expensive and a good cashmere cardigan will last you a while so consider your budget.  Normally, for around $200, you will find a great stylish cardigan that you can wear this year and into next year.

3.    Closet – Look through your closet and see what clothes you will match the cardigan with.  This will help you determine if you want one that is colorful or if you just want to buy a black cashmere cardigan that can go with everything.  Also, depending on your style, you will want to buy a cardigan that matches that style.  Don’t buy a short one if everything in your closet is longer and you don’t have many skirts or dresses.  Buy a long cardigan if you’ve got plenty of t-shirts, skinny jeans, and boots to match.

4.    Figure – Look at your figure and make sure you know what type of cardigan will look best on you.  For some people, the long cardigan looks great since it allows them to hide their larger thighs and waist.  For others, a short cardigan may look better since there are a lot of boxier short cardigans that allow them to balance out the skinny jeans and leggings they like to wear underneath.  Whatever your body type, make sure you understand what will look best on you.

After thinking through these things, check out some of the great new cardigans that I’ve found below.

Cashmere Bed Socks from Pure Collection

When shopping for cashmere bed socks, you can either look for pure cashmere socks or even a pair of socks that are worn regularly on a day to day basis.  Some manufacturers make bed socks that are different from the regular socks.  You will find that these are a bit thicker and looser.  They aren’t going to hug your feet as tightly since you are sleeping in them.  Also, they tend to be more expensive since these are considered specially made for sleeping in and not just for everyday use.  However, a good pair of cashmere socks will also work for bed.

For the cashmere bed socks, make sure you do not wear them out or around the house.  Put them on when you get into bed.  Put them on at night as you get ready to go to bed.  Keep them by your bedside so you can reach for them really easily and won’t use them elsewhere.  Also, wash them once a week.  Since you are just wearing them to bed, they are like your pajamas.  You don’t have to wash the pajamas every day.  Instead, you can just wash them every week after wearing them to bed each night.

When shopping for these bed socks, look for ones that feel really soft.  You want to roll into bed with them so you want them to be really comfortable.  Choose a color that you love.  For some, that means colors that are soft and soothing such as pink, grey, or baby blue.  Or, choose something that you would enjoy putting on.  These are bed socks so you can definitely have fun with them.  The other suggestion is to choose socks that match your pajamas.  Whatever you choose, remember that cashmere bed socks will keep you warm while you sleep and should feel soft, cuddly and comfortable.

There are many types of cashmere socks to purchase.  Like traditional socks, there are the long socks that go up a person’s leg.  Then, there are also the shorter socks that stop at the ankles.  Depending on how warm you want to keep the rest of your body, you should choose long or short socks.  The short socks are easier to wear, but the long socks are fantastic for warding off the cold.  Long socks act similar to leggings and allow a person to cover more of their leg and keep the bottom half of their bodies warm.  Most of the time, they will cost you anywhere from $20 to $100.

Pure cashmere socks are one of the warmest items that you can purchase.  For some people, they may feel that pure cashmere is a bit too warm, especially if they are used to wearing cotton socks.  If that is the case, look for a cashmere and silk blend instead of pure cashmere.  The other option is to look for thinner pure cashmere socks instead of the thicker type. The thinner ones won’t be as warm, but will still feel marvelous.

There are a lot less mens cashmere socks to purchase than womens cashmere socks.  Men tend to have better circulation so men’s cashmere socks are not as necessary.  In fact, some men complain about how hot they get when they wear these socks.  For women, wearing cashmere is the ultimate luxury.  From cashmere pants to cashmere pullovers, there are all types of outfits for women to wear.  Adding socks on her feet are fantastic, especially to wear around the house at home.  Finally, consider a pair of cashmere socks for your child or baby.  Children have less awareness of how cold they are, especially babies who cannot speak up.  Therefore, putting a pair of warmer socks on their feet allows them to keep warm, especially when they go outside to play in the snow and cold.

Cashmere socks are the ultimate luxury.  They are soft and warm and comfortable on the feet.  Consider a pair or two to get you through the winter.
