Cashmere jumpers no longer have to cost a fortune, with high street brands such as Uniqlo, M&S and even Tesco's F&F range now selling pure cashmere pieces for under £100. This shopping guide rounds up the best options for layering as temperatures drop.
Why cashmere is worth the investment
Cashmere is a super-soft fabric that is lighter than wool and naturally breathable, making it ideal for layering under jackets or over t-shirts. While traditionally associated with high price tags, the high street has caught up, offering 100% cashmere knitwear without wool or cotton blends.
To keep these pieces in top condition, hand wash in cool water and dry flat and folded rather than on a hanger.
