With the sudden temperature drop here in the UK, the only thing I want to do is bundle up in cashmere. Whether it be a pair of gloves, comfy trousers or a cosy knit, cashmere will keep you warm and make your outfits look super expensive. You'd be forgiven for assuming you have to splash out loads for good-quality cashmere that will last in your wardrobe, but actually, the high street has plenty of cashmere options that are way more affordable without compromising on softness or durability. Uniqlo is my personal favourite. The brand offers super-soft cashmere jumpers in six necklines and well over 50(!) colours, so there really is something for everyone.

Made of 100% cashmere, Uniqlo's soft knits will keep you comfortable and insulated when it gets really chilly, and they're just as durable as more expensive options, meaning they'll keep their texture and shape and will last in your wardrobe for years—providing you take care of them properly.
There are so many different styles that are currently on sale but I've particularly got my eye on the 100% Cashmere V Neck Jumper and I'm already thinking of the many different ways I'll be styling it this winter. Whether I pair it with a wool A-line skirt, a pair of tailored trousers or my casual blue denim, I know this expensive-looking knit will fit seamlessly into my winter outfit rotation. I'm also planning to treat one or two of my friends and family; the quality and price point make them a perfect Christmas gift.
Most of Uniqlo's knits are available in sizes XXS–XXL, with a few styles running between XS–XL. It's worth noting that Uniqlo can sometimes run a size small, so bear that in mind and consider sizing up.
