Quince / Land's End

We're now starting to turn that corner into the last few weeks of fall and the beginning of the winter season. That means you're going to need a variety of sweaters to help get you through these next few months. You can opt for a regular simple sweater, go crazy with the flannels and cardigans, or go down the route of rocking a cashmere sweater. Made with a strong durable material (cashmere) that effortlessly keeps you warm and toasty, there's no reason why you should own at least one in your autumnal/winter capsule wardrobes, and we're here to change that if you are one of the lone rangers that in fact do not. Not only do cashmere sweaters elevate your style to the next level, they have great layering potential as on warmer days you can rock them over a basic white t-shirt, while on cooler days you rock them underneath very nice jacket/shacket and still look super cool while feeling super warm. We have researched and vetted the best cashmere sweaters for men that take both style and comfort into consideration without sacrificing quality.

Our top choice Polo Ralph LaurenWashable Cashmere Crewneck Sweater ($174.99) is an example of how investing into a good cashmere from a great brand can last you a while, while the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater ($59.60) shows that you don't have to break the bank to achieve a top notch cashmere. Scroll down to check out all of our selections, which give you a range of options at multiple price points.

The Best Cashmere Sweater for Comfort

  • Price at the time of publish: $98

The Original Cashmere Sweater from J. Crew is beloved for its complimentary fit (you'll get to show off the guns), its length as it's neither too long or too short, and its quality. The Mongolian Cashmere construction is really brought to life and highlighted through its tapering in the shoulder, arms, and chest areas, sleep appearance, and softness as the fabric is so soft that it almost makes you feel like you aren't wearing anything. If you want a v-neck cut, the brand recommends going up a size to achieve that look, and if you want a look that's more oversized, you can do so by sizing down. All this cashmere sweater greatness for under $100 definitely shouldn't be ignored.

  • Sizes: S - XL
  • Colors: Acid
  • Price at the time of publish: $850

Described as being a piece that "shows the softer side of Rick Owens," the only thing "soft" about this sweater is the material, which can attributed to its cashmere and wool make up.

  • Sizes: XS - 2XL
  • Colors: Sage, Blue Granite, Natural, Onyx, Olive

We're kind of cheating a bit here again because the percentage of cashmere in this sweater is much smaller than the optim wool (plus there's also merino wool including in the fabric as well), but the quality of Rodd & Gunn's clothing is just too good to not include. Slightly oversized but not to the point where we can say the sweater runs large (loose is a better word), there's five different neutral colors available that pair well with anything in your wardrobe, along with other callout features like the pullover style and rib-knit cuffs and waistband. Sizing runs between a XS and 2XL, with the price tag clocking in at $165.
