As temperatures drop and a freezing cold spell grips us, the importance of staying warm without compromising on style becomes clear. This is where cashmere, nature’s miracle fiber, shines. Luxuriously soft, incredibly warm, and lightweight, cashmere is the perfect material for layering when the temperature plummets.
At Wearwith, we specialise in pure organic cashmere pieces that are designed to keep you warm, stylish, and comfortable, no matter how low the mercury drops.
The Science Behind Cashmere’s Insulating Power
Cashmere isn’t just a luxury; it’s a survival tool for the cashmere goats of Outer Mongolia, who thrive in temperatures as low as -25°C. Here’s why it works so well:
-
Hollow fibers: Unlike wool, cashmere fibers are hollow, which traps warm air and creates a natural insulating layer. This is the same mechanism that keeps Mongolian goats warm in sub-zero conditions.
-
Breathable warmth: Cashmere’s natural breathability means it keeps you warm without making you overheat, regulating your temperature beautifully.
-
Lightweight yet effective: While many warm fabrics can feel bulky, cashmere offers exceptional warmth in a featherlight form.
Why Layering Works to Stay Warm
Layering is an essential strategy for staying warm, and its effectiveness lies in how it helps trap heat and regulate body temperature. Layers create pockets of air between each piece of clothing, which act as insulators, keeping your body heat in. Layering also allows you to customize your warmth by adding or removing layers as needed, depending on your activity level or changes in temperature. Moreover, moisture management plays a big role in warmth. The right base layers wick sweat away, while outer layers keep the cold out. Cashmere excels in both areas, offering breathable warmth while managing moisture effectively.
Why Cashmere Is the Best Choice for Layering
When it comes to layering, not all materials are created equal. Here’s why cashmere stands out:
-
Super Soft and non-irritating: Unlike synthetic fabrics, cashmere is supremely soft against the skin, making it a great base layer.
-
Versatile: Cashmere jumpers, hats, and scarves from Wearwith are designed to transition seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.
-
Thin yet warm: Wearwith’s 12gg organic cashmere jumpers are lightweight enough to fit under jackets and blazers but warm enough to keep the chill at bay.
-
Long-lasting: High-quality cashmere, when cared for properly, maintains its insulating properties for years, making it a sustainable choice.
