The Cashmere Cardigan: A Wardrobe Staple

Few pieces in a woman’s wardrobe are more versatile than a cashmere cardigan. An ideal item for layering, cardigans allow you to stay comfortable in any weather without sacrificing style. We especially love cashmere, not only for its softness and warmth but for its lasting style and durability. We have found stylish cashmere sweaters in a variety of styles and lengths, so you can enhance your wardrobe with this staple piece.

Coat Length

Stay extra cozy in cooler weather with a super long cashmere cardigan. The long lines of these sweaters make any outfit look sleek, whether you pair it with tailored trousers, a flowing skirt, or leggings. We have chosen our favorite examples of the coat length cashmere sweater in a variety of weights to suit your wardrobe.
