Men's cashmere sweaters are an ideal winter layering option — warm, stylish, and comfortable. They’re also an unmatched symbol of effortless luxury.

Despite being favored in the fall and winter for its warmth, cashmere makes for versatile wardrobe staples that can transition between seasons and outfit combos effortlessly. In winter, cable knit cashmere sweaters work with button-down shirts and trousers for the office, while cashmere cardigans can take the place of lightweight zip jackets in spring.

Cashmere sweaters aren’t new to the menswear space by any means, but they have enjoyed recent popularity, with streetwear brands and luxury labels constantly releasing new styles. With the number of options available, finding sweater styles suited to your wardrobe has never been more straightforward.

8 OF THE BEST CASHMERE SWEATERS

No matter what men's sweater silhouettes you're into, choices are endless. From pure cashmere quarter-zips and full-zips to chunky mock neck pullovers, there’s a sweater to fit any style. These men's cashmere sweaters from top designers are surefire hits:

The Row

The Row's Eka Cashmere Sweater is a crewneck pullover enticing to anyone keen on oversized silhouettes. The luxe sweater spotlights a paneled back design and a drop-shoulder fit that hangs loosely across the torso. It embodies the label's core philosophy — elevating basic essentials in subtly sophisticated ways.

Alexander McQueen

An Alexander McQueen piece is never without a sense of captivating drama. Those fond of old-school heritage prints will find the label's Fair Isle Cashmere Sweater intriguing. The classic pattern adorns a ribbed-trim long-sleeve pullover with a crew neckline.

The Elder Statesman

Bold colors and trippy prints are a hallmark of The Elder Statesman’s creations. The label playfully disrupts style codes with whimsical, eye-catching concepts. The Multicolor Maze Textured Sweater drives home this point perfectly. This long-sleeve crewneck sweater fronts an abstract design in vibrant contrasting colors. It’s crafted from cashmere, merino wool, and nylon to provide a variety of remarkably plush textures.

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren's preppy sophistication is perfectly encapsulated by its Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater. In lieu of bold patterns or unusual construction, the reserved sweater exemplifies expert craftsmanship and meticulous tailoring — traits for which the label is known and respected.

Givenchy

Speaking of preppy, Givenchy embodies collegiate Americana with its Towel Varsity Logo Sweater. The cashmere/wool blend crewneck pullover bears chenille varsity lettering across the chest for a sporty-yet-scholarly vibe. Throwback varsity loungewear permeates luxury fashion, but this rendition is refined enough to dress up for business-casual settings.

Saint Laurent

Refined, elegant, sophisticated, cozy — all apt descriptors of Saint Laurent's Mohair Intarsia Sweater. The label blends high-quality cashmere, silk, and mohair into a fine pink sweater that looks lighter than air.

Tom Ford

Each collection from Tom Ford offers a masterclass on contemporary menswear tailoring. For a textbook example, look no further than the Cashmere Silk Polo Sweater. The spread collar and three-button placket add an air of professionalism to this ideal layering garment.

Burberry

Burberry's heritage design lens produces luxury cashmere sweaters of a different breed altogether. The label’s Shaggy Check Cardigan Sweater sits at the intersection of elegance, comfort, class, and tradition. Burberry’s signature vintage check print adorns the buttoned sweater, complementing a classic V-neckline and patch pockets.

STYLISH CASHMERE SWEATER OUTFITS

Cashmere sweaters are essential menswear separates that suit any occasion. Whether you’re sporting an oversized drop-shoulder cardigan or a snug crewneck pullover, there are countless cashmere outfit combinations to consider.

Cashmere V-neck sweater + leather jacket + trousers + loafers

Combine a men’s cashmere V-neck sweater, collared leather bomber jacket, pleated trousers, and classic penny loafers for a look versatile enough to effortlessly transition from a corporate-casual office to drinks with friends.

Cashmere turtleneck sweater + suit + dress shoes

Next time you head to an event opening or a fancy restaurant venue, consider doing so in a luxe cashmere turtleneck sweater. A lightweight turtleneck provides a stylish and insulative alternative to a customary button-down shirt. Team a solid-hued turtleneck with a two-piece suit and a pair of leather monk-strap shoes. 

Fitted cashmere sweater + dark blazer + dark jeans

A well-fitted cashmere crewneck can be tactfully dressed up or down to fit various contexts. A well-fitted cashmere sweater, a navy-hued double-breasted blazer, and dark-wash denim jeans make for an exemplary date-night ensemble.

Cashmere cardigan + T-Shirt + chinos

Whether running errands around town or embarking on a leisurely shopping trip, layer a men’s cashmere cardigan over a T-shirt and casual chinos for a look that’s as comfy as it is stylish. It exudes effortless luxury that can be revisited time and again.

Patterned cashmere sweater + jeans + sneakers

Take a stylish step up from a casual classic. Combine a multicolored cashmere sweater with distressed denim jeans and low-cut sneakers for an outfit that evokes nonchalance while retaining an unmistakably upscale edge.
