5 cashmere sweaters that will keep you cozy all winter
With all the walks we have been going on, Zoom meetings and cozy Sundays, a lot of our fashion inspiration is focused on dressing from the waist up. And with a chill in the air and even snow days it seems to be the perfect time to get out your favorite winter wardrobe staple: the sweater.
Why we love sweater weather? It’s like wrapping yourself up in coziness, just like a cup of hot chai tea. And let’s be honest: can you ever have enough sweaters? They are basically the winter equivalent of the white t-shirt. It’s one of the most versatile pieces in any closet, wear it with loose pants to run errands or with a beautiful satin skirt when the occasion arises. Whether you have a virtual meeting or social distancing date, there is a knit for every occasion and most importantly for everyone. The reason why investing in a good quality sweater is important, is because knitwear is so personal. Especially when it comes to cashmere. You should choose it with care and love, because you will keep it forever. Cashmere is the perfect indulgence: it feels great on the skin and will keep you wonderfully warm. It’s simply a piece of art. And speaking of art, meet Queene and Belle our favorite knitwear brand who are seamlessly blending classic appeal with modern shape and comfort.
