One reason why we love cashmere so much is because it’s a highly versatile fabric; one of the few that can take you from situation-to-situation, season-to-season. Whether you’re dressing for work, leisurely weekend walks or enjoying dinner in the garden, cashmere offers comfort and elegance all in one. 

Here’s how to make the most of your favourite pieces, no matter the situation or weather.

How to Wear Cashmere in Spring

Spring weather can be unpredictable, and this is where cashmere excels. Its natural temperature regulation keeps you comfortable on cooler mornings while remaining breathable as the day warms up.

Spring Cashmere Styling Tips

Think light and airy layers, consider:

  • Choose lightweight cashmere jumpers and cardigans in soft, pastel shades.

  • Layer over a cotton tank or linen shirt for a relaxed, breathability.

  • Pair with jeans, chinos or midi skirts for an easy transitional look.


How to Wear Cashmere in Summer

Summer is all about ease and effortless style. Lightweight cashmere provides just enough warmth for cooler summer nights or over-air-conditioned spaces without overheating. Its natural drape and refined texture instantly makes even basic summer staples look polished without adding weight or bulk.

Summer Cashmere Styling Tips

Think breezy evenings and travel must-haves. Consider: 

  • Add a lightweight cashmere jumper or cardigan to  simple summer outfits for a more considered finish.

  • Use a cashmere wrap as a versatile travel layer for flights, trains and evening dining.

How to Wear Cashmere in Autumn

Autumn is where cashmere truly comes into its own. As temperatures fluctuate throughout the day, its insulating yet breathable properties help regulate warmth without bulk. It also adds soft texture to autumn fabrics like denim, corduroy and wool, working particularly well in deeper seasonal tones.

Autumn Cashmere Styling Tips

  • Layer a cashmere jumper under a blazer, trench coat or lightweight jacket.

  • Add a cashmere scarf for warmth and texture.

  • Choose autumnal shades such as camel, burgundy or forest green.

  • Wear over a shirt, under a coat, or draped over the shoulders for a relaxed finish.

How to Wear Cashmere in Winter  

Cashmere is an ideal item for the winter months. Its fibres trap air into tiny pockets providing natural insulation. This allows you to stay warm without feeling “weighted down” like heavy knits can do. 

Winter Cashmere Styling Tips

  • Wear as a soft, thermal-like base layer by opting for a lightweight cashmere jumper. We love our crew neck and funnel jumpers.

  • For a polished look, add cashmere accessories to your outfit. Think oversized wraps. scarves, wraps, beanies and gloves.

  • Midweight cashmere jumpers, cardigans and tabards offer great mid-layer options. Wear over a shirt, blouse or under a structured coat. This is great for office-to-evening transitions as well as refined casual dressing.

  • Stay ultra warm with a cashmere coat or an oversized, heavyweight jumper. Style as a top layer over denim, tailored trousers or maxi skirts. Leather boots and a complementary handbag will finish the look perfectly.
