Cashmere is one of the softest—and most coveted—materials out there, thanks to its specificity. See, it's a fiber that only comes from specific cashmere goats predominantly found around Mongolia, China, and the Kashmir region of the Himalayas, from which it derives its name. When the lightweight fibers are woven together to make a textile, it results in a truly luxurious feel. Because of how intensive the production is (and, well, because it requires a certain type of goat), cashmere clothing and accessories are typically more expensive than their cotton counterparts.
If you're willing to splurge a bit, here I rounded up 33 of the best cashmere fashion finds under $400 that will last you a lifetime. Feel free to add these sweaters, pants, midi skirts, scarves, and even slippers, into your winter rotation, so you can cozy up in the glorious soft texture. Shop away!
