Seriously Soft Sweaters That Aren’t Cashmere

Everyone on the TME team loves cashmere. They talk about how soft it is and that it’s their absolute favorite fabric for sweater weather. I, however, am not a fan. And believe me, I have tried A LOT of cashmere sweaters.

While I wish I was a Team Cashmere Gal, I find it to be itchy and uncomfortable. This is likely because I have a slew of allergies and am allergic to just about everything under the sun. My last panel of allergy tests identified 200+ allergies.

So, I unfortunately have to admit defeat when it comes to cashmere. Instead, I’m always on the hunt for seriously soft sweaters made from different fabrics. The one I’m wearing above is a recent find from Anthro, and I am in LOVE.

These Sweaters Are Cute, Soft & Not Cashmere

By and large, the top non-cashmere recommendation from our team is J.Crew’s Supersoft Yarn. These sweaters are seriously so soft and come in a variety of colors and patterns. What’s amazing is that they are often on super sale, and you can usually find them for such an incredible price. I personally haven’t had a chance to try any silk blend sweaters, but have my eye on this one by EILEEN FISHER. It looks so incredibly soft, and I love a good deep v-neck!

Here’s what else I’ve found on my hunt for seriously soft sweaters…

1 / J. Crew Mockneck Supersoft Yarn Sweater

This is the TME favorite! It’s made with a blend of different yarns and is beyond cozy for cold weather.

This sweater is most like my typical style. It’s slightly cropped and has balloon sleeves! I find it very soft and love how easy it is to style. It comes in a ton of different colors too!

OMG, this sweater is beyond soft. Every time I put it on, I can’t stop touching the fabric. The sweater is made of wispy haired yarn and is seriously the softest thing ever.

8 / Pilcro Maggie V-Neck Sweater

Even from the pictures, this sweater looks beyond soft! It fits the bill for my sweater preferences: v-neck with balloon sleeves! It comes in a beautiful vibrant blue color too.

9 / Prana Polar Escape Half Zip Sweater

This sweater is made from super-soft fleece material. It was one of the things I ordered in my recent Backcountry haul, and while I loved how soft and cozy it felt, it did run small for me so I will need to order a larger size.
