The Cashmere Capsule Wardrobe: Timeless Pieces You’ll Wear for Years to Come

How To Style Your Cashmere Capsule Wardrobe

Building a foundation for a better cashmere wardrobe starts with easy-to-wear, classic items like a crew-neck jumper or cardigan that will work with most trousers, skirts and jeans, giving you more outfit combinations without needing to buy something new.

We recommend choosing two or three shapes you’ll wear most often, in colours that complement each other.

Once you’ve chosen your foundational pieces, add a jacket or vest that works with different occasions. These pieces work best in spring and autumn, when a heavy coat isn’t always needed.

Cashmere isn’t limited to just sweaters and scarves. Trousers, joggers and dresses can form part of a capsule wardrobe too.

The Perfect Cashmere Capsule Wardrobe

The beauty of styling with a cashmere capsule wardrobe is that you don’t need a wardrobe filled to the brim. Make the most of what you own and style it like a minimalist, with a few jumpers and cardigans creating countless outfits.

Adding accessories like a scarf or wrap can change your entire look in seconds, making them a stylish and practical option if you want more versatility in your wardrobe.

Most importantly, choose pieces that feel just as good as they look. At Rise & Fall, we put material quality first. We work directly with expert manufacturers around the world and keep traditional retail mark-ups out of our prices. This means we can keep beautifully made cashmere more accessible, so you can build your wardrobe gradually and choose quality pieces you’ll wear often.

How To Care For Cashmere Garments

Cashmere deserves proper care, especially if you wear the same pieces often.

• Air them out: Let your garments air out; they shouldn’t be washed after every wear.

• Always follow the care label: Different cashmere and cashmere-merino garments may require different washing methods.

• Dry them flat: Knitwear reshapes easier while damp. Be sure to keep garments away from direct heat.

• Remove pilling carefully: Our Cashmere Comb helps remove small bobbles that develop through friction.

• Store correctly: Fold cashmere rather than hanging it for long periods. Use a Cashmere Anti-Moth Bag for longer-term storage.

Read our Cashmere Care Guide for more advice on washing and keeping your favourite pieces at their best.

Build Your Cashmere Wardrobe Gradually

The best cashmere wardrobes are built small and with a purpose in mind. Try and start with a classic crew-neck jumper or cardigan you’ll wear regularly, then add pieces as your wardrobe naturally grows.

Choose shapes and materials that look and feel good, in colours that complement your existing outfits. The goal is fewer decisions with better purchases and more years of wear.

Cashmere Capsule Wardrobe FAQs

1. How many pieces do you need in a cashmere capsule wardrobe?

There’s no set number, but we recommend starting small, with just two or three items that you think you’ll wear regularly. We suggest starting with comfortable basics that match with almost every outfit, like a crew-neck jumper or a cardigan.

2. Which colours work best in a cashmere capsule wardrobe?

The best colours are those that work with clothes you already own. A starting point would usually be navy, grey or cream but brighter colours can also be versatile if your wardrobe allows it.

3. Should I choose pure cashmere or a cashmere–Merino blend?

If you want a balance of structure and softness, then a cashmere-merino blend offers versatility, however, cashmere is prized for its softness and lightweight warmth.

4. Can you wear cashmere throughout the year?

Yes. It does depend on the garment and the weather, but a lightweight cashmere cardigan, for example, is perfect for even cooler summer evenings.

How do you make cashmere work for different occasions?

Cashmere works for all occasions, but depends on the garment and what you wear it with. A classic cashmere crew-neck jumper can even look considered without feeling too dressy with a pair of jeans on a weekend.

5. How often should you wash cashmere?

Cashmere shouldn’t be washed after every wear. It’s best to simply air it between wears and only wash when needed. We recommend always following the garment's care label. For more information, see our Cashmere Care Guide.
