WHY MEN SHOULD WEAR CASHMERE

March 8, 2016

Looking for a soft, luxurious fabric that keeps you warm in winter and effortlessly chic all year round? Look no further than Cashmere. No longer reserved for your rich grandmother, Cashmere is getting the modern update it deserves.

Combining the quality of cashmere with the austere minimalism of Scandinavia is Nordic brand People’s Republic of Cashmere. Established in 2012, the brand prides itself on combining Inner Mongolian cashmere with the traditional Scandinavian minimalist design. Their garments (consisting of the stock standard scarves and other accessories to shirts, jumpers and pants) are made from one hundred percent goat cashmere. The product is all totally made in Inner Mongolia. This provides a clear point of difference from most other Cashmere or wool brands. They offer an array of colours and classic designs for you to complement your wardrobe, their mission being to create garments suitable for all kinds of settings.

The timeless nature of these garments means that they transcend the typical flightiness of most branded fashion. What’s more, due to the characteristic fine knit of the cashmere, their garments are thin, yet strong and warm. Perfect for layering in cooler climates, or as a standalone piece in ‘straya. If that doesn’t tickle your pickle enough, then the quality that cashmere provides should. Get that luxe feeling by rocking a cashmere sweater or outerwear piece over your regular basics. If you’re on a budget, then selecting a cashmere accessory might be more within your price range. A quality scarf in a neutral colour will last you many seasons and go with absolutely anything. If you want to push the boundary then going a shawl or cape is bang on trend right now.

Over here at Bloggers Boyfriend, we love a good timeless piece. Especially one of such high quality. We recommend purchasing your garment in a neutral colour. Wear your tonal coat and scarf over a brightly striped shirt, basic blue jeans and black leather slip on shoes. Camel, navy and black shades will go with absolutely everything. If you’re a clean freak then pure white will be a standout.

If one colour ain’t your jam, then stripes are universally flattering as well. Here Kurt rocks a navy, red and white combo shawl over a basic white tee and pale blue jeans. Giving a modern update on the classics can sometimes make for the most effective and memorable outfits.

Of course if you were born to stand out then make like thethreef.com and rock an oversized burnt orange shawl. With corresponding shoes natch. The oversize element is totally in, and a blanket scarf is the perfect way to add that in. Be like Vincenzo from imaxtree.com and pin on a brooch or tie pin for added interest.

The fantastic thing about wearing cashmere is that it adds a textural element to your outfit. Here Tommy Lei of mybelonging.com rocks a monochromatic outfit with a cashmere sweater. The sweater adds a textural element to the piece and the added dimension of the shirt tails poking out from underneath add an extra element of interest.

No matter whether you follow trends, or aim for the traditional classics, there’s no doubt that cashmere is a material that you need to be featuring in your wardrobe. Bloggers Boyfriend goes to People’s Republic of Cashmere for all his needs and so should you.
