16 cashmere pieces from niche brands not on your radar

Cashmere, when approached thoughtfully, elevates the layering of looks during the winter season and also feels more personal.

Across emerging labels in Korea, Copenhagen and beyond, designers are reworking cashmere through a lens of quiet confidence, minimalism and versatility.

These pieces are designed to integrate seamlessly into a modern wardrobe. A softly slouched cashmere sweater can be worn loose over tailored trousers, half-tucked into a silk skirt, and even layered under sharp outerwear for contrast. Fine-gauge knits work beautifully as base layers, offering warmth and allowing effortless transitions between climates and occasions.

What makes niche brands particularly compelling is their attention to quality. This precision allows each piece to be styled intuitively so dressing up with jewellery and heels or paired with flats and denim will also work.

Investing in these pieces is more about longevity and expression. The palettes are intentionally understated with soft ivory, washed grey, baby blue, stone and oatmeal to adapt across seasons and styling moods. Rather than dominating an outfit, these tones offer a canvas for personal interpretation.

The pieces from emerging brands often improves with time, softening and moulding to the wearer. Scarves become second skins, sweaters develop character, and well-loved pieces take on a quiet familiarity. This relationship between garment and wearer is what transforms cashmere into something enduring.

To invest in niche cashmere is to embrace clothing that evolves with you. These pieces encourage to repeat wear, be thoughtful while styling, and an appreciation for subtle luxury that feels individual.
