If you’ve ever lusted after an incredibly soft, incredibly beautiful and incredibly pricey sweater, there’s a good chance it was 100% cashmere. The covetable fabric is a winter favorite that, unfortunately, tends to be pretty expensive. That’s why we’re so excited about these six cashmere sweaters that are less than $100.
The thing that makes this type of wool so amazing is the same reason its price is so high. Cashmere comes from the undercoats of goats, which creates an unbelievably soft and warm knit. Even though it’s very lightweight, it’s also a great insulator. Cashmere can keep you up to eight times warmer than sheep’s wool. Plus, it’s super breathable, meaning you don’t need to save it only for the coldest days of winter.
The problem is that it takes wool from multiple goats to make just one cashmere sweater. The process is also very labor-intensive, which hikes the price up even more. That’s why you’ll often see cashmere sweaters selling for hundreds and hundreds of dollars. There are affordable options too, though!
Keep scrolling for our six favorite 100% cashmere sweaters under $100.
1. Naadam Original Cashmere Sweater, $98
Naadam’s famous original sweater is iconic for good reason. The unbelievably soft 100% Mongolian cashmere comes straight from goat herders in the Gobi Desert. Cutting out the middleman means better wages for farmers and lower costs for you, which is our very favorite kind of win-win. This classic crewneck has a tailored fit that falls perfectly on almost any body type. Choose from a core range of neutral shades plus a rainbow of more colorful limited-edition hues. While this style is $98, you can buy two for $150 right now.
2. Quince Mongolian Cashmere Full Zip Hoodie, $99.90
Your beloved old zip-up hoodie sweatshirt is nice, but you know what’s even nicer? That same silhouette in a plush, 100% cashmere version. Whether you wear it lounging around the house, out on casual errands or for a more dressed-up occasion, you’ll love this luxurious upgrade. The fabric is thick, warm and super long-lasting. Snag a pair of Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants too for the set of your dreams. Besides this shade, there are ten other pretty neutrals and colors.
3. Uniqlo 100% Cashmere Turtleneck, $99.90
