The cold spell has officially arrived, which can only mean one thing: my annual search for beautiful, affordable cashmere that will stand the test of time is well underway. Admittedly, it’s not always an easy task. Finding genuinely good-quality cashmere at an accessible price point can feel like an impossible feat, with promising searches often leading to pieces containing just 20% cashmere and offering little in the way of longevity. That was, of course, until I discovered M&S cashmere.
For those in the know, M&S cashmere is hardly a revelation. The high-street stalwart’s £90 pure-cashmere crew-neck jumpers have long been a favourite amongst fashion editors and savvy shoppers alike, and come in a rainbow of elegant shades. As someone who owns two, I can personally attest to their exceptional softness, substantial feel and impressive longevity, not to mention their versatility. But the brand’s cashmere offering extends far beyond the classic crew-neck. From elegant funnel-neck jumpers and brushed-texture cardigans to collared knits and heritage-inspired argyle styles, there’s an entire collection of expensive-looking pure-cashmere pieces to discover, many of which come in at under £100.
