Cashmere. As you may know by now I’m not a big fan of winter. But, since I can not escape it, I have been arranging some tricks that allow me to survive it more comfortably. One of those tricks is cashmere.
Those who follow the blog know that I have an obsession with cashmere sweaters. They are the perfect basic to wear in winter with pants or skirts. In addition to having a great look and touch, they are super hot which makes them perfect. The only snag is really the price, although one understands why they are expensive. Cashmere is extracted from the undercoat of the goats of Kashmir (a region between China and Mongolia). Therefore, it is considered a noble wool.

But, let me tell you a secret: all my cashmere sweaters (including the one I’m wearing in the pictures) were bought in sales. I believe they are a great investment to make when prices are lower. After all, they are basics we always need (and last for years looking perfect, unlike those of acrylic). Now, you’re probably wondering where I buy them. Well, my 3 favorite stores to buy cashmere sweaters are:

Mango: All cashmere knits I’ve bought at Mango are super soft and beautifully designed. Look for them at Mango Outlet because they’re always with a big discount on the site. I’ve made some great cashmere finds there.

Massimo Dutti: When the store gets on sales, I always end up bringing some cashmere knit from there. This year I was lucky because I found a basic black one with a huge discount (they had marked the price wrongly), so it was a bargain. Anyways, you can do great finds at Massimo Dutti at the beginning of the sales.

H & M: H & M’s cashmere sweaters are fantastic – super soft and with a perfect fit – and, at the beginning of the sales, there are still many colors in almost all sizes. This one I’m wearing is one of my favorites.

What about you? Are you guys a fan of cashmere sweaters?
