Can You Wear Cashmere in Summer?

The simple answer is, yes, of course!

When considering your summer wardrobe, we know cashmere isn’t the first choice that comes to mind. Usually, the luxurious yarn is associated with winter nights and colder weather, keeping you warm and cosy. However, due to cashmere’s delicate fibres, it is breathable and lightweight making it also ideal for the warmer summer days.

The Mongolian goats are known for the highest quality cashmere - hence why we source our yarn from here. These goats use their soft and fine undercoats to regulate their body to the fluctuating temperatures of their climate. Which changes from freezing temperatures in winter, to sweltering heat in the summer. This unique yarn is designed to keep you comfortable in both the warm and cold months, so you can wear it all year round.

As a cashmere company, we have many lightweight garments which are weaved to allow the skin to breathe. Check out our collection of cashmere sweaters and jumpers, many have a loose-fit and soft feel, you will hardly tell your wearing it! At Loop we pride ourselves on using the softest cashmere, making jumpers and sweaters that feel light and comfortable, perfect whilst waiting for the temperatures to increase.

Another possibility for summer is layering, as the seasonal weather can often catch you out. Cashmere provides loads of options for layering, a Cashmere Cardigan or a Cashmere Poncho, are both an ideal cover up for a cooler summer evening. Style by wearing light and colourful clothes, our Cropped Cashmere Sweatshirt in beautiful pastel shades is perfect at brightening up any summer wardrobe.

If you are travelling further afield then try one of our Cashmere Scarves to accessorize with elegance instead. Great to ward off the deathly cold air conditioning of the aeroplane or to drape over sun-kissed shoulders it’s light and lofty knit is breathable and it rolls down, taking up next to no room in hand luggage.
