When you hear “cashmere” do you automatically assume this luxe fabric comes with a luxe price tag? Not always! It is possible to find quality cashmere at an affordable price point. Wearing cashmere is one of Erin’s favorite tips for layering comfortably while staying toasty. It feels amazing on the skin, and without being bulky, it packs a warming punch. Cashmere pieces also make great gifts because you know it’s a quality fabrication that will last and last…and last. In today’s For Less Friday post, we wanted to share some of Erin’s favorite, most-loved, and most-worn cashmere pieces in case you are shopping for that difficult-to-buy-woman on your list…or maybe, that’s YOU?? All but one of these cashmere sweaters and accessories are under $115…an amazing price point for quality cashmere.
Another go-to fabric this time of year is leather, faux leather, and vegan leather. Tis the season! Erin shares tips for styling faux leather pants and leggings here. Plus, all of her favorite leather finds cna be found here.

Cashmere Sweaters
If you’ve been a Busbee Style subscriber for a while, you’ve likely seen these Aqua Cashmere and C By Bloomingdale’s Cashmere sweaters a time or two before. You just can’t beat the quality. The cashmere is ultrasoft and luxurious to the touch. And, they are almost ALWAYS on sale. Not all cashmere sweaters retain their shape over time, but these do! They’ll layer perfectly under coats and jackets, and the styles are fun, wearable, and just a little bit different and cool. We love it when comfort and style come together. Here are 5 of Erin’s favorites, all currently priced at $113 or less.
1) Twofer Layered Cashmere Sweater
The 2-in-1 cashmere sweater Erin’s wearing above is one you could easily wear to the office with trousers or a skirt, but you can also style it casually with jeans and booties. The layered effect takes all the guessing and discomfort out of making sure 2 pieces work together without hiking, wrinkles, and bunching.
2) Crewneck Camo Cashmere Sweater
Erin had the green version of this camo crewneck and loved it so much that she decided to get the greyish-blue print too. Wear it with black jeans, blue jeans, joggers, or lounge pants for an elevated casual look.
3) V-Neck Cashmere Sweater
For a super classic, can’t-go-wrong cashmere sweater, this classic v-neck is the way to go. It comes in 14 colors and is the most affordable cashmere piece in this roundup…it’s currently on sale for $89!
4) Pink Athletic Striped Cashmere Hoodie
The pink striped sleeves on this cashmere hoodie are such a chic and sporty detail. Cashmere athleisure wear? Yes, please. Wear this with joggers or lounge pants for a cozy day at home or with jeans and a puffer for a day out and about.
5) Stars Cashmere Sweater
This might just be our favorite. A few Team Busbee members own and love this sweater. The star detail down the sleeves is modern and fun. It also comes in a navy blue with bright red stars. Layer this sweater under a puffer or shearling vest for a look that’s both chic and sporty.

Cashmere Accessories
6) 100% Cashmere Oversized Scarf
Next, we wanted to share this cashmere scarf that has quickly become one of Erin’s favorites. It’s lightweight, really keeps you warm, and it’s super luxe! It’s also at a great price point for 100% cashmere at $80. The size is quite large so can wear it as a wrap too. When traveling, this is a great scarf to pack in your carry-on if you get cold on the plane. It comes in 3 other pretty colors…black, red, and ice grey.
7) Reiss Cashmere Check Scarf
Well, this scarf didn’t exactly make our under $115 cutoff, but it’s just too good not to share. The camel, grey, and cream print is really beautiful. It looks so similar to another high-end designer scarf brand, doesn’t it? The warmth and pretty factor are 100%. It will pair perfectly with your neutral-colored sweaters, jackets, and coats.
8) Cashmere Lined Leather Gloves
Our last affordable cashmere accessory is these leather gloves that are cashmere-lined. They have tech-friendly thumbs and fingers, they’re warm and elegant, and they would make an amazing gift. They also come in 5 other colors including a bright red which would be fun for the holidays. Get them on sale now for under $50.
