If there’s one thing we’ve heard a lot of times upon shopping many a J.Crew sale, it’s that the cashmere basically never goes on sale. So when news of a seemingly under-the-radar sale happening over at J.Crew’s cashmere shop hit our inboxes, we knew we had to act quickly. Right now, select men’s and women’s items — including sweaters, cardigans, hoodies, socks, and more — are up to 20 percent off. As one of the Strategist’s resident experts on clothing basics who keeps an eye on things like J.Crew cashmere prices, I can confirm this is indeed a good deal — and here, I’ve gathered some of the styles worth buying. Below, you’ll find our favorite cropped cashmere sweater and an oversize cashmere wrap that doesn’t pill easily.
Our senior editor Hilary Reid owns this slightly cropped sweater in three shades (and counting … she’s eyeing a fourth). It made our list of the best sweaters for women because the silhouette is ideal for just slightly tucking into your favorite pair of jeans.
The same Strategist-approved sweater but with a tasteful V-neck.
Here’s the non-cropped version of the classic crewneck above. It’s a favorite of blogger Titilola Sogunro, who says, “It’s a best seller for good reason,” adding that she appreciates the array of color options, many of which are marked down.
Cardigans are having a moment this fall, and this one has two generous patch pockets and rib trim at the cuffs.
Another fun layering option is this 100 percent cashmere shawl. Strategist contributor Diksha Basu first introduced us to the soft and lightweight wrap, which can fold down to fit in your work bag or carry-on.
Sweater vests have a special place in my heart, and the gold buttons on this one are just preppy enough.
Over in the men’s section, I spotted this classic crewneck sweater. It’s on sale in a whopping 13 colorways, including burgundy, black, charcoal, and the cobalt blue shown.
You can’t go wrong with this cable-knit sweater that’s substantial without being overly chunky.
This roll-neck is more casual than his go-to turtleneck.
Just from the look of it, I’d say this waffle-knit hoodie will offer warmth without the weight.
