Cashmere is one of those fashion splurges that's worth every penny [1]. After all, there's nothing quite like the soft touch of this fine wool on a cold morning. Although it may seem unattainable, the luxurious fabric has actually been made accessible [2] by most of our favourite high-street brands, which means that you won't have to empty your bank account to get your hands on that coveted material. Ahead, discover our guide to high-street cashmere, and shop our favourite pieces while they're still in stock.
PS: most of them are even on sale!
Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer is known for its great cashmere at an affordable price, and I personally love its collection in collaboration with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. This Rosie For Authograph Pure Cashmere Dressing Gown [3] (£199) is a gorgeous luxury piece that I've had my eye on for quite some time, but if loungewear isn't your cup of tea, have a look at their Polo Neck Jumper [4] (£89), socks [5] (£30), and Herringbone Scarf [6] (£49.50) — they're just as soft!
& Other Stories
& Other Stories is a brand known and loved for its timeless yet fashionable pieces, and its cashmere is as good as the rest. Designed in Stockholm, the Oversize Cashmere Sweater [7] (£125) features slightly flared raglan sleeves and a curved hemline. And if it's accessories that you're after, you'll love the softness of the Ribbed Cashmere Scarf [8] (£45) and Cashmere Bow Headband [9] (£27).
AllSaints
I'm all about cosy clothes, and this incredibly soft AllSaints Inaya Cashmere Cardigan [10] (£166, originally £278) is seriously high on my must-have list. You'll also love the Raven Funnel Cashmere Jumper [11] (£100, originally £168) and the Dasha Cashmere Crew Jumper [12] (£159, originally £228).
H&M
You would probably be surprised by how great the H&M cashmere is. This Powder Beige Jumper [13] (£40, originally £70) is so soft that you won't want to take it off all Winter, and you'll love its gorgeous rib detail. Other great options include this Fine-knit Cashmere Dress [14] (£99), this Cashmere Scarf [15] (£40), and these Cashmere Slippers [16] (£30).
The White Company
It might be a bit more pricey, but The White Company is one the best places to get good quality cashmere. This Cashmere Side Split V-Neck Jumper [17] (£169) is a perfect basic that you'll be able to keep for years. And if you really want to treat yourself, then I would undoubtedly recommend this ultra luxurious Cashmere Side Split V-Neck Jumper [18] (£169).
Mango
This Mango Jumper [19] (£70, originally £120) is slightly more interesting than your average cashmere knit thanks to its rib detail and bell sleeves, but it's also just as soft. You'll also love this Cashmere Cardigan [20] (£60, originally £90), this Vibrant Blue Scarf [21] (£16, originally £60), and this Pretty Beanie [22] (£16, originally £36).
Whistles
The Whistles Saddle Shoulder Cashmere Knit [23] (£90, originally £155) is a luxurious basic that you'll love wearing season after season. Thanks to its slim fit, you'll be able to pair this timeless knit with absolutely everything, from your favourite jeans to more tailored pieces. You should also have a look at the Cashmere Rib Back Cardigan [24] (£199), as well as at this Cashmere Pocket Funnel Neck [25] (£140, originally £180).
John Lewis
John Lewis is a great contender when it comes to great quality cashmere, and I particularly love the classic V-Neck Jumper [26] (£79). You should also consider the Large Travel Wrap [27] (£140), which is basically a cashmere blanket in scarf form.
Uniqlo
If you're not sure of where to start when it comes to cashmere, Uniqlo is always a safe bet. Customers all tend to agree on the fact that it is of excellent quality, and there are plenty of different styles and colours to choose from. I especially like this Short Sleeve Crew Neck Jumper [28] (£40, originally £50), but I would also recommend the Long Sleeve Crew Neck Jumper [29] (£60, originally £70).
Reiss
The Reiss Albany Oversized Cashmere Jumper [30] (£135, originally £195) will allow you to stay cosy all season long, and I also love the gorgeous colour of the Bekah Jumper [31] (£70, originally £195).
Topshop
You can always count on Topshop to have everything you could ever need, and it's also true when it comes to cashmere. And if you were looking to add a bit of colour to your Winter wardrobe, then you'll love this V-Neck Cashmere Jumper by Boutique [32] (£110).
Karen Millen
The Karen Millen Cashmere Balloon Sleeve Jumper [33] (£190) is a great investment piece that fashion girls will love. Spun from pure cashmere, it's made with statement balloon sleeves in a ribbed knit and finished with a boat neckline.
French Connection
The French Connection Claudie Cashmere Jumper [34] (£100, originally £125) is another great basic that's worth having in your wardrobe. The brand also has cute Cashmere Hand Warmers [35] (£14, originally £35) and a matching Cashmere Rib Beanie [36] (£26, originally £65) that'll keep you warm all Winter.
