Cashmere Sweaters—A Traditional Trendsetter
Cashmere Sweaters have been known for quite some time to be a luxurious and stylish gift of comfort. They’re softer and more warming, too, than standard sweaters. From basic crewnecks to novelty sweatshirts, 2025 has you covered. Here are 27 of the best men’s cashmere sweaters you can buy right now, based on luxury, affordability, and style. They include beloved brands such as Naadam, Quince, and Ralph Lauren. We will also look into care tips, the advantages of Grade-A cashmere, and more.
Why Cashmere? The Advantages of Grade-A Material
Cashmere is the fine undercoat of the cashmere goat, and it’s even softer than wool. Grade-A cashmere, in particular, is incomparably soft and strong. It’s a thin weave and very light, and great for wearing alone or with other items. If you treat high-quality material well, it also isn’t prone to pilling so you can hang on to these sweaters for a long time.

Caring for Cashmere Sweaters
To care for cashmere, you need to keep it soft and pill-free. Follow these tips:
- Handwash: Cold water with mild detergent.
- Best to Air Dry: Lay flat, not in the sun or near heat.
- Avoid Machines: Do not toss cashmere into the dryer or washing machine.
- Stave Off Pilling: Prolong the life of your knitwear with a sweater comb or stone.
- Protect from Moths: Cedar blocks or natural insect repellents are useful here.
- Launder after wearing so that you won’t attract moths to stains.
Why Invest in Cashmere?
While still soft and warm, grade-A cashmere has a plusher, more luxurious hand (feel) than comparable parts of other grades. A well-maintained cashmere sweater can last for years, which makes chasing the sale price worth it.
What Does Gauge Mean in Cashmere?
A sweater’s gauge equals the number of rows of yarn per inch. When worked at a looser gauge (I used a 12), it makes a thin fabric suitable for layering. The lower the gauge, the thicker and warmer the knits (these are great for deep winter).
FAQs About Cashmere Sweaters
What Makes Grade-A Cashmere Special?
Grade-A fibers are as fine as 14 microns and have a silk-like texture.
How Do You Keep Moths from Eating Clothes?
The moths go after natural fibers, such as cashmere. Place laundered sweaters with natural cedar blocks.
What Makes Cashmere Pill?
Loose fibers create pilling (more frequent with inferior cashmere). Pills can be brushed away using a fabric comb.
