5 Cashmere Jumpers for Winter 2026, From COS to Uniqlo
From a £50 Quince crewneck to a plush Reformation favourite, these five cashmere knits bring different weights and silhouettes to winter dressing.
Cashmere earns its place in a winter wardrobe when it works across more than one kind of outfit. These five tried-on jumpers cover the useful range: a substantial crewneck for cold days, a light layer to keep close, a relaxed investment knit and a modern V-neck. Prices vary, but the point is the same: texture, shape and styling determine how often a jumper comes out of the wardrobe.
A cashmere layer can soften tailored trousers, bring polish to denim or add warmth over a simple top. It also makes a useful counterpoint to the season’s other textures: try brushed knitwear with satin, or contrast a relaxed jumper with a suede skirt. For easy weekend dressing, an oversized crewneck works with leggings and knee-high boots; for the office, a closer-fitting V-neck pairs neatly with tailored trousers. A cardigan can travel in a bag or sit over the shoulders for an extra layer.
Five jumpers, five different roles
COS Rounded Pure Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper
COS’s recurring best-seller has a sculptural, relaxed shape that makes a familiar crewneck feel current. The thick ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem give it definition, while drop shoulders keep the fit easy. A slightly cropped hem helps the generous volume look considered rather than cumbersome.
This is the heaviest of the five, and the one to reach for when warmth is the priority. It should layer comfortably over a fine long-sleeved top or T-shirt. The reviewer tried a size L, but says her usual S would be the better choice because the style already runs oversized.
Details: 100% cashmere; sizes XS–XL. Colours: Grey Mélange, Brown Mélange, Dark Green and Cream.

Soft Goat Boyfriend Crewneck
Soft Goat’s Boyfriend Crewneck makes a case for investing in a simple shape with a considered finish. It’s made from 4-ply, 100% cashmere, with a mid-weight feel that the reviewer found cosy without the bulk of a chunkier knit. The boxy cut, straight hem and ribbed trims keep the design classic, while the oversized proportions give it a relaxed mood.
The reviewer wears a size S, which gives the intended slouch. This is the elevated everyday crewneck in the edit: easy with denim or tailored trousers, and substantial enough to wear on its own. The brand offers it in Black, Bordeaux, Camel, Chalk, Greige, Navy, Rouge, Waxed Paper and Anthracite. A size range wasn’t provided in the source.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Jumper
At £50, this is the accessible pick, and Quince’s UK launch brings a popular staple within reach of local shoppers. The crewneck is lightweight, with a soft finish and fine ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem. Its regular fit suits straightforward layering; size up if you want a more generous silhouette.
The reviewer wears a size S and likes it over bare skin or layered with other basics. Its lightness also makes it practical to carry in a bag or drape over the shoulders when the temperature dips. That versatility gives it a clear role alongside heavier winter knits.
Details: 100% A-Grade Mongolian Cashmere; sizes XS–XL. Colours: Heather Grey, Heather Charcoal, Ivory, Rich Burgundy, Faded Denim, Moss, Brown, True Navy, Heather Storm Blue, Black, Varsity Red, Teak and Elk Brown.

Reformation Cove Cashmere Oversized Crew
The Cove’s appeal is its balance of ease and shape. Its oversized drape feels cosy, but the reviewer found it polished enough to avoid looking like an afterthought. She has worn her grey version for a year and says it still looks new. The fabric combines 95% recycled cashmere with 5% recycled wool.
It’s the pick for anyone seeking a soft, slouchy crewneck with more movement than a dense knit. The range includes solid shades as well as stripes and patterns, including Husky Fior Di Latte Stripe, Thunder Argyle and Dark Pine Stripe. It runs large: the reviewer wears XS.
Details: sizes XS–XL. Colours also include Navy, Black, Compost, Husky, Wheat, Navy Neptune, Chianti, Parmesan Mahogany Stripe, Purple, Pear, Mushroom and Flannel Narcissus Stripe.

Uniqlo Cashmere Relaxed V Neck Jumper
Uniqlo’s relaxed V-neck brings a subtle update to an everyday knit: the neckline sits higher than on earlier V-neck styles, giving it a cleaner, more contemporary line. The reviewer found the 100% cashmere soft against the skin, including over a tank top. Its mid-weight build and brushed texture add warmth and tactile contrast to winter outfits.
Wear it with satin trousers to play up the mix of textures, or layer it over a tank for a simple, comfortable look. The reviewer wears a size M. Colours are Yellow, Dark Grey, Black, Pink, Beige and Dark Brown; sizes run XXS–XXL.
