9 Cashmere Sweaters That Have an Actual Cult Following

Not all sweaters are created equal, and I think most would agree that the type that’s superior to all the others is the cashmere sweater. Nothing compares to the softness of cashmere, and a sweater that’s made of it makes whatever outfit it’s a part of look rich and sumptuous. As we approach winter and the holiday season, we approach the time of year in which cashmere sweaters start to fly off the shelves—especially the ones I’m about to talk about.

Over the years (and in some cases, even just over the recent years), certain specific cashmere sweaters have stood out above and beyond the others. They sell out time and time again, and fashion people can recognize them at a glance—even if said sweater may just appear to be a basic sweater to the untrained eye. Now that we’re gearing up for cold weather again, it’s the perfect time to remind you of these cult-favorite cashmere sweaters. Keep scrolling to find out what makes them so covetable and to shop your favorite hues before they sell out once again.

J.Crew Cashmere Classic-Fit Crewneck Sweater

One of the most iconic basic crewneck sweaters on the internet comes courtesy of J.Crew. Its highly rated Cashmere Classic-Fit Crewneck Sweater comes in a slew of colors, from basic to bold, and has a not-too-slim-not-too-relaxed fit. According to J.Crew, it’s their number one bestseller.

Reformation Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan

As someone who owns this particular sweater in somewhere between five and ten colors, I can certainly vouch for it. I’ve yet to come across a cashmere cardigan that’s cooler and of higher quality for this price point. The brand continues to release it in fresh colorways and prints, and they keep selling out.

You can’t talk about luxury cashmere sweaters with a cult following without naming the Khaite Scarlet Cashmere Cardigan. This flattering waist-cinched cardigan inspired many imitators, but you can’t match the original.
