Cashmere Sweaters and Building Your Classic Wardrobe

There are many reasons to associate cashmere with wealth. We know they are a piece of classic style clothing for your classic wardrobe, but are they worth the expense?

Cashmere, Are They Worth The

Are Cashmere Sweaters Worth The Expense?

First, most cashmere sweaters are timeless styles that instantaneously put them into the classic wardrobe category. Secondly, cashmere is incredibly soft and feels luxurious. It is very warm yet breathable. It adjusts to your body’s temperature and won’t make you feel like you will overheat, like some other fabrics we tend to wear in the winter months. Cashmere is also very durable; it travels well and doesn’t wrinkle. Lastly, according to codgirl.com, cashmere is made from a few different breeds of goats. These particular goats have two layers of coats, one for warmth and protection from the elements and the second which is cut to make up the material, cashmere or pashminas. Harvesting these materials is much more labor-intensive than your average wool. Therefore the cost reflects this specialty fabric. Cashmere sweaters are a great addition to your classic wardrobe.

Tall Boots and Classic Wardrobe

Tall boots are a must-have for Winter. They pair great with any winter outfit. Thigh-high, over-the-knee, or knee-high is the perfect investment piece when it comes to footwear. I recommend tall boots because most outfits look proportionate with taller boots. Simply speaking, tall boots are the ish because they can go with any outfit and not make you look like a stump. Some outfits don’t look proportionate with booties or ankle boots. An excellent tall boot, flat or with a heel, can be paired with any outfit. Tall boots are a classic style of footwear that will go great with your classic wardrobe.
