Best women’s cashmere jumpers 2022: Sweaters for all budgets

Best: High street cashmere jumper

Rating: 10/10

As high street cashmere jumpers go, this competes with the heavyweight brands that stock the equivalent at double, if not triple the price. It has a ribbed neckline and cuffs, with a slightly oversized fit that makes it a total dream to wear. Owing to its thickness, it’s the perfect layering piece, and works well with every outfit we’ve paired it with so far, whether that’s leopard print jeans or a black mini skirt. All in all, it’s a faultless knit that we predict will stand the test of time.

Best: Pink cashmere jumper

Rating: 8/10

Dopamine dressing is where it’s at, and if you’re looking to add some additional colour to your outfits, this cashmere jumper is ideal. The bold pink colour and contrasting cotton trim makes it a personal favourite and it’s becoming a linchpin in our wardrobe. If you’re unsure on how to style it, then we’d go as far as to say it goes with just about everything. And as brand’s go, Me+Em is one you can trust thanks to its well-considered designs and silhouettes.

Best: Colour selection

Rating: 9/10

Pure Collection’s jumpers are loved by the likes of Holly Willoughby and we can wholeheartedly see why. Its cashmere selection is vast, but it’s this boyfriend fit number that caught our eye. The slightly oversized fit means you have that effortless borrowed-from-the-boys look, which we love. But where it really excels is the colour and pattern selection, there really is something for every taste, whether it’s stripes or black. The quality and design is faultless, we’ll certainly be returning for another colour soon.

Best: Under £80 cashmere jumper

Rating: 9/10

As brand’s go, high street stalwart M&S excels at cashmere at affordable prices: cue this gorgeous jumper. While it comes in at under £80, clearly no expenses have been spared. It feels as luxurious as some of the sweaters that are double its price. What’s more, it comes in a huge range of colours. We opted for the dusky rose, but frankly, they’re all equally as covetable, so you’re in safe hands regardless of the one you choose. Depending on the type of fit you like, we’d recommend sizing up.

Best: Roll neck

Rating: 9/10

It’s hard not to fall in love with this jumper from Jigsaw, it’s oversized, super soft and has the perfect roll neck – we’d got as far as to say it’s quickly become one of the hardest working pieces in our wardrobe. With an incredibly luxurious feel, we don’t think you’ll regret making the investment. If you’re looking for a party outfit, wear the jumper with these well-priced sequinned trousers (£35, Mintvelvet.co.uk) for a low-key look. If it’s looked after well, we think this turtle neck will see you through winter after winter.

Best: Cashmere hoodie

Rating: 8/10

While we might not be exclusively wearing our loungewear anymore, a hooded cashmere jumper certainly should not be disregarded. This one from Ted Baker is a dream to wear, it has exaggerated puff sleeves and it feels every bit of luxe as you’d expect. It’s an ideal pick for everything from the school run, to off-duty styling days, just make sure to keep coffee, red wine and muddy paws as far away from you as possible. We’ve got our eyes on the cashmere joggers (£195, Tedbaker.com) to really complete the look.

Best: Black cashmere jumper

Rating: 9/10

All Saints is a go-to for boxy knitwear and this cashmere roll neck will not disappoint. It’s weightier than the others in this round-up, which makes it feel particularly luxe – always a win. It’s also more eco conscious than some of the others featured as it’s made from recycled cashmere, which only adds to its appeal. A reliable choice that won’t let you down.

Best: Lightweight knit

Rating: 8/10

Unlike some of the others in this round-up, this lightweight cashmere knit has a tapered cut. It makes the perfect workwear piece, especially when worn with funky trousers (we like the abba trouser, £45, Motelrocks.com). But of course, it’s a great everyday essential, too. It has all the attributes of the perfect cashmere jumper: it’s soft, comfortable and versatile. While we fell for the extremely wearable grey, it’s also available in a bright red if you’re looking to add a pop of colour to your outfit. The best bit is that it comes in at just under £65 in the sale.

Best: Navy cashmere jumper

Rating: 8/10

As brands go, Uniqlo is known for its high-quality basics at reasonable price points. And it does cashmere jumpers extremely well. This crew neck design has been designed in a particular way to prevent the fabric from piling, which is a big bonus. While navy is the colour we gravitated towards thanks to it being chic and timeless, there are more than 10 others to choose from. In terms of fit, we opted for a jumper two sizes bigger than we usually take, giving a slightly more boxy look.

Best: High neck cashmere jumper

Rating: 8/10

If you’re looking for something to well and truly wrap yourself up in, then this Hush jumper should fill the void. It has a mock neck and an oversized, relaxed fit. We think it looks great when loosely tucked into high-waisted jeans. Owing to the colour, it will slot in nicely into your wardrobe and will most definitely be something you’ll be able to wear on repeat. It’s great quality, cosy and warm, meaning it’s a big winner with us.

Best: Cable knit design

Rating: 9/10

For a sweater that has an undeniably chic design, you can’t go wrong with Crumpet Cashmere. From the moment we took this out of its packaging, we knew it’d become a mainstay in our wardrobe, pairing with just about everything – including leather trousers (£47, Marksandspencer.com), jeans (£15.99, Zara.com) or over shorts (£25.99, Zara.com) and tights. As for the cable knit design, it’s a firm favourite and fairly rare to find in cashmere. With its hefty price tag, it is the most expensive jumper by far within this selection, but if you’re looking to make the investment, this is the one to pick.
