Luxe Cashmere Knitwear: The Everyday Essential for Fall

At St. John Knits, we believe every sophisticated woman deserves to have luxe cashmere in her wardrobe. We incorporated our Luxe Cashmere capsule collection into our Fall 2019 line because the fully-fashioned knitwear is a go-to staple for casual and dressy ensembles. Take a closer look into what makes our cashmere knitwear so unique here. 

Known worldwide as a luxury textile, cashmere is wool derived from a specific type of goat that has a lighter, stronger, warmer, and softer texture than other wools. These goats live in relatively harsh winter conditions, so they produce a double lined undercoat consisting of fine hair and guard hair. The fine hair is separated from the guard hair resulting in cashmere that's ready to be converted into beautiful garments by artisans from St. John. 

We use only the most luxurious Italian cashmere and noble fiber yarns to craft ultra-soft garments that are ideal for the fall season but also work for year-round wear. Meeting the highest standards in strength, resilience, and purity, the Luxe Cashmere Collection at St. John Knits features pieces with impeccable silhouettes, seasonal colors, and timeless style.

Our selection of cashmere sweaters and knitwear marries the concepts of comfort and fashion with garments offering a variety of silhouettes that highlight feminine structure. With fully-fashioned seams, hand-linking, and fine trims, each piece features meticulous proportions to fit and flatter the body's form. Even our oversized menswear silhouettes embody the comfort of lounging with long, irresistibly soft fabric. 

As an essential material for the fall season and everyday wear, we infused our luxury cashmere pieces with a variety of color options ranging from solid to mélange to mouliné. Stay sleek in solid hues, or add some visual interest and texture with colors that are mixed together before the yarn is spun or various hues twisted together during the garment crafting process.

Popular, neutral hues, like almond, camel, and cream, pair well with any garment. Dress up the natural colored cashmere with wide leg trousers or a feminine structured military jacket for an added texture. Soft color pigments like jade and light grey mélange play into every season, while strong and bold colors, like hot pink and bright red, add a sophisticated feel under any jacket or with any cigarette trouser pant.

Our cashmere line offers many new and classic styles of cashmere knits. We incorporate naval stripes and graphic styling to infuse the extraordinary feel of our knitwear with intricate details and deliberate, texturized patterns. Updated fabric, scale, and color modernize patterns traditionally found in menswear, like herringbone and twill, for an innovative new take on an old classic. Accessorize the capsule collection with color-blocked cashmere scarves for the perfect finishing touch on your fall ensemble.
