Layering Essentials

If you're new to layering, an easy way to start is with a cashmere cardigan. You'll find all the function and versatility you're looking for with our Wide Sleeve Cashmere Cardigan in Black Sparkle.

The slouchy fit of this cashmere cardigan gives you total freedom with your layering. You can opt for fitted tops such as our Superfine Long Sleeve Cashmere Top in Sand Brown worn with our Superfine Cashmere Shell Top in New Ivory White underneath on extra cold days.

Alternatively, wear it with our Round Neck Cashmere T-Shirt in Elephant Grey for a tonal colour palette. Pair with jeans and a pair of your favourite boots, and finish with our matching Bramble Stitch Cashmere Beret in Elephant Grey to embrace the statement headwear trend.

How To Style A Poncho

When it comes to cashmere ponchos, our Fur Trim Diagonal Rib Poncho in Snow Grey is a stand-out piece from our A/W collection. Featuring a luxurious yet cosy diagonal knit, it's a nod to the autumn trend of modest dressing.

The elegant cropped fur sleeves help show off colourful sleeves or a patterned top worn underneath. This timeless cashmere poncho is ideal to wear with our Round Neck Cashmere T-Shirt in Aubergine Purple on warmer autumnal days, or pair with our stylish Polo Neck Cashmere Jumper in Saffron Orange to create a snug cold weather look. It's also available in Carbon Grey.

Sumptuously Soft Textures

Can you think of a better way to layer up with our Textured Oversize Cashmere Poncho in Black and Fumo Grey? It's the perfect knitted poncho if you want to make a bold statement with your outfit this season. Our cashmere poncho is also ideal to wrap up in on a chilly evening by throwing over leggings and a jumper, or pairing with a knitted dress and tights. For a winning layering look, team this with your favourite jeans and our Superfine Roll Neck Cashmere Jumper in New Ivory White. Or, complement the grey tones of this poncho with our V Neck Cashmere Jumper in Burgundy Red over a fitted white shirt and tailored trousers. You're guaranteed a timeless outfit for the office while effortlessly mastering the popular jewel tones trend.

Instant Sports Chic

Sportswear is a key style for this season and luckily, it has never been easier to layer the look. Our Oversize Side Split Jumper in Blue Beige is ideal if you want to pay homage to this trend and layer with a touch of luxury. To help you keep the cold at bay, you can layer a cashmere roll neck jumper underneath. Go for a rich colour like our Polo Neck Cashmere Jumper in Moss Green to follow this season's opulent jewel trend ” or wear the Snow Grey version for a minimalist look.
