While my very favorite cashmere sweaters were already mentioned in our huge guide, The Best Cashmere Sweaters of 2022, I’ve also been eyeing up the newest crop of classic cashmere sweaters. And by “classic,” I don’t mean asymmetric hems or other interesting details. Instead, I’m talking about the humble cashmere crewneck. J.Crew has one in a zillion colors, Reformation has a sustainably made one that I’ve loved for years, NAADAM has one under $100 with cult following, and Quince has one for only $60.
Which one to recommend?
In this video, I try them all on, and highlight some of the differences. So. If you are in the market for a new cashmere crew, hopefully this will help narrow down your search!
