For the Budget concious shopper, I can't think of a better place than Gap to get a slew of sweaters for under $100 with many styles on sale for under $70. While there aren't any Cashmere options at this pricepoint, Gap's signature CashSoft material is used in many designs to give customers a cashmere-like experience without the price tag.
