When the chillier weather ensues, it’s simple to just toss on the first sweater in your closet — you know, the one that’s on top.

Though we’re just approaching fall, it’s best to stay warm amid those bitter blasts. A quality cashmere sweater certainly fits the bill.

Before we dive into our elevator pitch as to why cashmere sweaters are worth the buy, let’s first debunk a myth: they don’t have to cost an entire paycheck.

Top retailers like Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue frequently host sales on cashmere pieces, while Amazon, Naadam and Quince have an impressively wide selection that’s fairly priced.
