Best affordable cashmere

By Poppy Cory-Wright on 28/10/2022

All cashmere is not created equal, so read on for our guide to the best brands for indulging in a little affordable luxury.

Simple, unadorned styles will have the most longevity, not to mention being easier to layer, but you can add interest through bold colour, something the high street does well.

Whether you're a cashmere novice or simply adding to your collection, in order to prolong the life of the soft and fragile fibre you need to treat it with TLC. Read the Culture Whisper guide to cashmere care here.

Culture Whisper is your curated guide to the best of London. We may earn a commission for items purchased through our retailer links.

Best for elegant yet affordable: BODEN

Best for elegant yet affordable: BODEN

There's much to love about cashmere at Boden, not least the fact that most of it's machine-washable. Like much of the brand's womenswear, there's a 'grown-up' sensibility to the pieces which are neat and elegant, making them ideal for a working wardrobe as well as weekend wear. Alongside the classic black, navy, grey and pastels there are bright stripes and graphic patterns. Boden favours a slim fit so size up if you're looking for something a little more relaxed.

From unobtrusive office basics to star-spangled tracksuits, M&S's cashmere offering is impressively broad. And what's more each and every piece is machine-washable. Our top tip is to opt for the men's designs and achieve a more fashion-forward, boxy look.

Best for accessories: JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN

You might think that a heritage British-made cashmere brand is going to be anything but affordable, and admittedly Johnstons has plenty of budget-busting pieces. But there also pure cashmere accessories including gloves, socks and beanies with plenty of change from £100, making them a great gift (even if is to yourself.)
