Good-quality cashmere sweaters do not need to cost more than $250. Case in point: I spotted two identical cashmere sweaters at the Bloomingdale's flagship store in NYC last weekend—one was $650, and the other was $141. If you can believe it, the latter took first place for softness, weight, and shape. Bloomingdale's two in-house labels, Aqua and C by Bloomingdale's Cashmere, deliver luxe and cozy sweaters, wraps, and scarves at accessible prices. I went home with that classic crewneck sweater, but there are so many other fun styles to choose from below.
Solid Colors
As soon as the temperature drops below 70ºF, I live in my cashmere pieces. I usually stick to neutral colors and classic crewnecks, but styles like the royal-blue V-neck below feel a bit more interesting.
Prints, Patterns, and Embellishments
If you're looking for cashmere pieces that go beyond the basics, I think you'll like this batch. There are rhinestones, bandana print, and even a cashmere blazer (which I didn't know I needed until now).
