the best affordable PLUS-SIZE cashmere -

Lands’ End Sweater (c/o, under $100 with code “PITCH”), White Denim (c/o), Earrings, Sandals, Similar bag

Who else loves cashmere as much as I do?! Probably everyone lol. More importantly, I love cashmere that upholds a level of quality without breaking the bank. I find that cashmere is the perfect in-between-seasons sweater that you can wear all year, so it’s worth it! But in some cases, cashmere can get pricey. So, when it comes to the most bang for your buck, while maintaining quality, comfort, and size-inclusivity, this cashmere is the winner! It also comes in regular sizes. I’ve the styled it with white denim for a summery feel. But in the Fall months, I wear it with blue jeans and loafers, and it’s just as adorable!

Lands’ End has been my preferred cashmere forever! Over the years, I have acquired the same sweater in a solid camel, black and grey. The quality of the cashmere itself is incredible. Even if this one were not under $100 right now (marked down from $180 with code “PITCH”), the quality and fit still makes this my favorite. Cashmere in general is expensive, and this feels and looks luxurious, while being at an affordable price point. It also holds up very well. To be honest, most cashmere pills, and this one does slightly but it is not bad at all. It’s really easy to maintain with a simple sweater shaver and always looks polished.

I am wearing the plus-size version in a 16w, and find the proportions to be fantastic and realistic. Instead of just enlarging the regular proportions, Lands’ End creates separate extended-size proportions formulated for plus-size bodies. Everything about this sweater is designed for curves! The arms are not oversized and there is no over-stretching in the chest. The body of the sweater fits really well and has room without being tight. For reference, In Lands’ End items that I wear regular sizes in, I find things also run true to size and are cut as they should be.

Overall, their cashmere is great quality, comes in timeless silhouettes, and it’s light-medium weight transitions well between seasons. You can find all of Lands’ End plus-size cashmere here.
