Once you wear cashmere clothing, be warned, you will never be able to wear any other fabric. Your synthetic fabric jumpers and tops, you know, the ones that make your hair stand on end when you pull them over your head because of the static they create? They will be plunged into the dark recesses of your wardrobe, never to see the light of day again.

Never wearing synthetic fabrics isn’t such a bad thing. Cashmere, like wool, cotton, silk and bamboo, are all natural fibres. This means that they are better for the environment and better for your skin (though to be certain of the best environmental option go for organic and Fair Trade).

Natural fabrics such as cashmere clothing allow your skin to breathe. This means that when you heat up and get warm, your cashmere clothing doesn’t trap the heat making you feel like you are in a sauna like synthetic clothing does. Not only is this feeling unpleasant, but it can lead to sweating and even irritated skin and rashes.

Cashmere clothing is not only better for you but it looks better on you. Designers who use cashmere in their products are more likely to cut the fabric simply, making it more flattering and less fussy. This is why older men and women tend to wear more cashmere than younger ones – and why the Italians are so enamoured with it. Older women are also more likely to realise the long-term investment potential of a classic cashmere jumper or dress, and that it is a staple that the best wardrobes are built upon.

A bonus of cashmere clothing is that it is really warm without feeling bulky or heavy, making it ideal for trousers. Have you ever noticed how cold jeans can feel in winter? Cashmere trousers could be the thing you are looking for.
