I Tried On The Row’s 5 Chicest Cashmere Knits—Here’s Everything You Need to Know Before You Invest

As a shopping editor who quite literally lives in cashmere for half the year, I’m hard to impress. I know the fibres, the handle, the fall. I notice immediately when a knit collapses rather than drapes. Which is why The Row remains, for me, a category of its own.

There’s the featherweight Sibem in the richest navy that feels like the most elegant base layer I’ve ever touched, the sculptural Kensington funnel-neck, which sits somewhere between knit and design object and the mole-toned Liberty cardigan that instantly makes denim feel considered. And that’s just the start.
