15 Cosy Cashmere Pieces To See You Through The Season

By Sarah Macken

Is there anything more decadent than cashmere? Up the ante with these luxe styles from Arket, COS, Lucy Nagle and Ros Duke …

If we must muddle our way through the unpredictable weather, wouldn’t it be infinitely better to do so in a decadent knit? Thankfully, there’s a host of cashmere on hand for just that purpose. 

At Marks & Spencer, eschew the wool blends for Autograph’s edit of pure cashmere pieces which are well-priced at €100 for a button-through waistcoat, as well as €129 for relaxed-fit knitted polo knits and funnel-necks. Elsewhere on the high street, COS has been shining as a leader in affordable cashmere. In fact, there’s a host of 100 per cent cashmere buys currently sitting on site; from socks, to funnel-necks and, a new favourite, jumpers with inbuilt shawls in optimistic shades of creamy white that hint at brighter days. Meanwhile, Arket currently stocks a great V-neck knitted jumper which we’re coveting, inspired by fashion editor Jo Ellison who wears a rotation of this shape of knit in navy and black with barrel-leg jeans and sharp loafers. 

No talk of cashmere would be complete, however, without name-checking just some of the designers we have in Ireland who excel at it. Dalkey-based Ros Duke’s cashmere jumpers are made in the same factory as Loro Piana (I have a foulard made by Duke and I can attest that it’s simply kitten-soft). Walking a very good line between luxury fabrications and affordability is Lucy Nagle: the designer’s button-up Everyday cardigan in conker brown ticks the below €200 box, coming in at €195. Then there’s Sphere One: the brand self-describes as a purveyor of ‘cerebral’ cashmere – I like to think this moniker describes knits worn by the thinking woman, or the literati.
