Naadan Essential Cashmere Sweater

Matthew Scanlan and Diederik Rijsemus are two college friends who traveled to the Mongolian Gobi Desert and made friends with local sheep herders. They discovered that most clothing companies cut out those middlemen, killing their livelihood. Working directly with them, the two created Naadam to bring you high-quality and sustainable cashmere like this gorgeous basic.

Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Cashmere

The cable-knit sweater is inspired by fisherman's ropes and has been a mainstay in sweater style for as long as sweaters have been a thing. As a matter of fact, legend has it that the term sweater was first coined in the 1890s when athletes borrowed the cable-knits from fishermen and began wearing them as fashion instead of functional garments. Ralph Lauren took the timeless classic and gave it the soft and luxurious feel to complete its transformation nearly a century later, and its been thriving ever since.

Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere Sweater

Italian creative Brunello Cucinelli came into the fashion industry by falling in love. First with his wife, then with her tiny little hamlet in Central Italy, and finally with creating menswear. Nothing is better than throwing a quarter-zip sweater over a collared shirt—the lap of luxury on a day-to-day basis.
