I Thought Finding Affordable Cashmere Was Impossible, But Uniqlo’s Under-£100 Selection Proved Me Wrong

Shopping for cosy knitwear is a serious job, one that can't be done on a whim. After all, you don't really want to splash out on a jumper only to discover that its polyester construction is barely warm or that it starts pilling after one wash. If you shop well, however, and find a good quality brand, you'll have a solid winter essential that'll last you way beyond AW24. If you haven't found yours yet, let us turn you to one of the best high street brands that stock affordable cashmere — Uniqlo.

While searching for affordable cashmere typically presents itself as a trying task, Uniqlo stocks a plethora of luxe knitwear staples that are not only extremely warm, but incredibly soft to the touch. With a large majority of cashmere favourites under £100, it's no surprise that Uniqlo's cashmere offering has become a fashion holy grail, especially when outdoor temperatures remain chilly.

One of the brand's best sellers, the Cashmere Crewneck is made from 100% cashmere and cut for a relaxed, slouchy fit. Available in an impressive 24 shades, meaning there's a colour for every sartorial taste and occasion. While the style set has largely been favouring classic neutrals such as grey, off-white, black and beige, a few have been draping red and olive variations around the shoulders for a preppy pop of colour.

Softer, lighter and promising better insulation from the elements than most other polyester and wool designs on the high street, the Uniqlo cashmere knit (like many other Uniqlo favourites) is the cornerstone of any capsule wardrobe. My personal go-to for the last three years, trust me when I say, you'll be wearing this one for every winter to come.

If, however, the crewneck isn't quite your cup of tea, you can shop a plethora of other 100% Uniqlo cashmere favourites, all under £100. Keep scrolling for our round-up of the best Uniqlo cashmere jumpers below. The best part? Some of them are on sale.
