I like slouchy/boxy sweaters, but GH's *never* look right on me. I order the smallest size (I'm 5'4" with a 32" bust) and they fit me like giant sacks and never drape the way they look like they do in the photos. If you're attracted to that shape, check Everlane -- their cashmere crop v-neck really nails this style (looks like they haven't<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/coming-soon/womens"> restocked it for fall yet</a>, but they have a couple colours on clearance). Everlane's cashmere isn't amazing quality, but neither is GH's, and Everlane's price point is reasonable. Uniqlo might be worth a look, but their 100% cashmere generally only comes in very classic shapes, and it is definitely pilly. I like the British company Pure Collection for cashmere; they specialize in knitwear and have a wide range of cuts and colours. But even theirs has been pill-prone in the last couple years. If I buy any more cashmere, it will be vintage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957520 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 14:23:57 +0000 JAileen 1957520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Macy’s has cashmere sweaters on sale right now. I have a couple of them and they’re nice for the price. Plus they come in 15 colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957495 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:25:53 +0000 cindysmith 1957495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue and it will go with everything, but camel is classic and goes with everything too. Love the cut of that sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957404 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 05:34:34 +0000 karen13 1957404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third the arctic heather. Current reviews, even by color, are key as cashmere from the same place can be wildly different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957388 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 03:20:43 +0000 ladypainter 1957388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you’ve got camel trousers/skirts, or chocolate or charcoal ones, I’d get the arctic heather. The camel would look good with charcoal bottoms also.<br /> BTW, I’d recommend calling or e-chatting with a sales rep to get the garment measures of the sizes you’d like instead of their Fit Predictor app. I used it last year and it was totally off. I ordered 2 relaxed shape sweaters and they both were skin tigh, with no room for layers under. Nice soft quality, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957341 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 23:04:02 +0000 bj1111 1957341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try uniqlo. They have cashmere crews and turtles for a reasonable price ($79-89) and broad range of colors. If their extra fine merino crews are an indication, these will also wear like iron and feel cushy. Worth a try.</p> <p>Garnet hill sweaters are slouchier and may be thinner than uniqlo. Different look. Camel, rosewood and arctic heathers are particularly attractive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957338 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 22:56:19 +0000 binkle 1957338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Camel works really well with blues.&nbsp; If you've got the other colors already represented in your current sweaters, maybe try the camel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-cashmere#post-1957327 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 22:15:15 +0000 kerry 1957327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I’m planning to pull the trigger on a cashmere sweater for fall/winter. I’ve never owned 100% cashmere. This one from Garnet Hill seems to be a winner. I like the slouchy look of it and the reviews give the cashmere a good rating.</p> <p>I had considered cashmere from Boden but Angie mentioned it was<br /> scratchy and the v-neck looked a bit conservative.</p> <p>Which of these colours would you choose? I had thought the grey - I wear a lot of cool colours, mostly blues but my hair some golden highlights in it and the camel colours seem to be trending ...</p> <p><a href="https://www.garnethill.com/cashmere-v-neck-pullover/womens-fashion/cashmere-shop/468775?listIndex=20" rel="nofollow">https://www.garnethill.com/cas.....stIndex=20</a> </p>
