It's Here: The Cosy Cashmere Jumper on Every Fashion Person's Wish List
As the last days of this September heatwave pass by, one thing is on my mind: cosy autumn days. With crisp mornings and a flurry of showers about to set in, I’m romanticising the shift in seasons, daydreaming about grey days bundled up in soft knitwear with a coffee in hand as the rain sets in.
The chilly winds at the start of the month declared the shift in seasons, and I found myself quickly scrambling to assemble the outline of an autumn capsule wardrobe. My trench coat and boots were swiftly unpacked, but as knitwear goes, my selection is lacking. Now is the prime time to add something truly special to the mix—enter the COS Chunky Pure Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper (£225).
As an editor, I'm constantly scanning for shopping inspiration. I'm always looking at our readers' selections and what my stylish colleagues are wearing, and I scroll through the new-in sections of high-street and designer brands on the daily. So when a piece emerges as a favourite of Who What Wear readers and editors, it's time to take note.
Known for a focus on quality fabrics and timeless design, it's no surprise that we're turning to COS for our latest knitwear buy. The Chunky Pure Cashmere Jumper features a classic crew-neck cut with ribbed detailing on the collar and cuffs. The jumper is understated and pared-back, allowing the premium fabric and versatile shades to do the talking. It's made from sumptuous GCS-certified cashmere, ready to cocoon you through the chillier seasons, and it currently comes in two timeless shades—grey and black.
The piece is more of an investment than some other high-street jumpers, coming in at £225, but the anti-trend design and high-quality, 100% pure cashmere fabric assure longevity, both in style and wear. There's also a turtleneck version that has seriously piqued my interest. Whichever you choose, paired with tailoring, denim, skirts or even thrown over your shoulders, these are jumpers you'll wear on repeat.
