How To Wear A Long Cashmere Cardigan

Autumn is the perfect time of year to update your wardrobe with sumptuously soft and stylish cashmere to keep the cold at bay. After all, just because the weather is cooler, it doesn't mean you can't look effortlessly stylish as you wrap up warm in something snug.

'Duster' style cashmere coats are a key trend for A/W 18, so whether you want to wear one of this season's most favoured items, or a chic full-length cashmere cardigan, this helpful guide will show you how you can wear that fashion-forward piece, so you're prepared for the new season.

The Perfect Oversize Coatigan

Earn extra style points this autumn with our Crochet Waterfall Cashmere Coatigan in Navy Blue and Fumo Grey. Designed with an understated contrast of navy and grey, it's the perfect wardrobe classic to wear when the temperature drops. It's an extremely versatile piece; wear it with fitted jeans and boots at the weekend, or pair with a skirt suit for the office. Add a touch of French flair with our Mini Stripe Jumper, made from a luxurious blend of cashmere and Lurex. You can show off a colourful pair of trousers with this cashmere cardigan, or wear it over a knee-length tunic with our Leggings or classic black tights and heels - this look will take you straight from office to any party! Its main standout feature are the loose sleeves so you can wear stylish long-sleeved gloves underneath. The matching belt is also perfect to cinch your waist in and accentuate your silhouette, drawing the eye down.

Look To Traditional Fabrics

You'll certainly forget about feeling the cold if you step out in our elegant Herringbone Cashmere Coatigan. If you're looking for a pop of colour, or rich autumnal shades, team it with our Superfine Roll Neck Cashmere jumper in Burgundy Red. Opt for timeless style by tucking the roll neck into jeans or a midi skirt, accessorising with ankle boots and statement jewellery. Alternatively, show off your fashion credentials and wear this cashmere coatigan with an all-navy outfit for a relaxed daytime look that complements the navy panels on the shoulders and hem. The exaggerated proportions of a cashmere duster coat will help to streamline your silhouette .- especially when paired with a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers. Add this to your wardrobe for a quick seasonal update that will add to every outfit that it is worn with.

Understated Off-Duty Luxury

It's never been easier to add luxury to your new season wardrobe than with our Fur Trim Hooded Cardigan in Snow Grey. This classic long cashmere cardigan is perfect for those off-duty days when all you want to do is relax after a busy week. With a sophisticated fur trim and additional drawstring detailing on the waist, this can be styled with our matching Striped Cashmere Trousers and Bold Stripe V Neck Cashmere Jumper over a vest to stay warm. It even has a snug hood to cover your ears and head, so you stay warm on chilly days.

Or, if you're going for a more colourful look, go for layers and pair it with our Cropped Cashmere Jumper in Aubergine Purple with a simple roll neck underneath.

Effortless Style is Easy

Our Cardigan Stitch Cashmere Coatigan in Carbon Grey is a staple for any A/W wardrobe and will carry itself through multiple seasons with its subtle colour and design. The slimline cut makes it a dream to layer over numerous trouser styles, working especially well with fitted jeans, or wide leg trousers if you'd like to make your outfit interesting and play with proportions. If you're going for a sleek, understated look, opt for a muted colour palette and wear this cashmere duster cardigan with our Polo Neck Cashmere Jumper in Elephant Grey and black trousers. Take your outfit to the next level and layer a white shirt underneath our Bold Stripe V Neck Cashmere Jumper in Navy Blue and Sand Brown for a look that's a modern twist on the effortless English Rose. This luxurious cashmere cardigan is also available in Ochre Yellow if you want to make a statement.
