Cashmere Sweater Vests

The cashmere sweater vest is a classic wardrobe item for men and women alike. Cashmere sweater vests have a decidedly preppy look but they are easily dressed up or down. If you've never owned a cashmere item before, you should know where this fabric comes from and why it is so special. Cashmere is combed or sheared in the early spring from cashmere goats. Prominent producers of cashmere are China and Scotland because of their large goat population. This wool must be separated from the denser wool, and is light yet warm. It can take in excess of three goats to make one sweater.


Cashmere is expensive and shows the world you are a person of refinement. For guys, the sweater vest can be worn with trousers and an Oxford shirt with or without a tie for a business casual look. Or, they can pair a vest and collared shirt or basic T-shirt over baggy jeans and trendy shoes for a street prep look. It all depends whether you want to go dressy or casual. If you are shopping for the special man in your life consider buying him one of these vests, especially if it is not something he would usually buy for himself.

For ladies, the sweater vest can be worn in the same way. The key is to give it a feminine flair. There are vests that double as summer sweaters for women who want to show off their arms. Or, pair your sweater vest with a V-neck T-shirt and jeans for a trendy style. Sweater vests can also be worn with button up shirts and skirts for a serious business look. The best thing to do is play around with your vest and try it on with different tops and bottoms to see what you like best.

Cashmere sweater vests can be purchased online, which is a good way to find bargains. Using Nextag, you can find and compare products with a click of the mouse. Also, you can browse your favorite fine department stores online. All of them have sites where customers can shop. Cashmere is a fine material and costs more than other fabrics, but everyone should have at least one piece. A cashmere sweater vest is a great way to start your cashmere collection.
