Double Tap to Zoom

By the beginning of March, we reached the meteorological beginning of spring, though astronomically speaking, it's still winter until later this month. Point remains, we're slowly, carefully shedding puffers, moving on to airier, layered looks, and are in need of some lightweight but warm knits.

Cashmere, which qualifies as one the most luxurious fibers on the market, is the ultimate go-to for soft, cozy knitwear that doesn't suffocate or cause itchy rashes. With its high quality can come a high price tag, and there's a number of criteria that differentiate the more expensive from less expensive options.

Let's not get into the knitty-gritty of all that right here, but focus, perhaps, on this varied selection of cashmere apparel we put together to enhance a spring wardrobe. From low-barrier staples to lifelong investment pieces, the below is a rough-and-tumble of favorite cashmere items, polos to pants.

Knits That Put the "Cash" In Cashmere... Well, Some of Them:

J.Crew Cashmere V-neck

Super easy, super timeless, let's kick this off with a gray sweater by J. Crew, shall we? This is the kind of item simply, physically cannot go out of style, and that no one would regret spending mounds of money on, much less a hundred-something bucks.

Auralee Cashmere Blend Pants
