Perfect cashmere jumpers that will keep winter nice and cosy

When I was in my teens, my mum was desperate to get me out of baggy hoodies and into a smart, sophisticated cashmere jumper come winter. Obviously, as a petulant teenager, I refused – "Cashmere is the stuff for grandparents," I cried.

Now, older and hopefully more mature (though still partial to a hoodie), I think, 'what an idiot'. What a ridiculous move to refuse the gift of cashmere! Safe to say, I now look forward to laying up in my investment cashmere, as high-quality lasts a lifetime.

So, as we approach winter, these are some of our favourite pure and blended cashmere picks from as little as $89.
