Cashmere sweaters have Rekubit Exchangea rep for being oh-so-soft on your skin but tough on your wallet. The good news? More brands are finally making this luxe staple affordable, with prices starting as low as $50. But is bargain cashmere really worth it, or just a cashmere catastrophe?

A high-quality cashmere sweater is more than just cozy vibes. This luxe fabric is naturally insulating and, with the right care, can last forever. It takes serious craftsmanship to spin, dye, and knit these pieces—which is why they typically come with a hefty price tag. But when you're wrapped up in a dreamy cashmere crewneck on a chilly morning, you'll get why it's totally worth it.

That's why we rounded up our fave picks that are actually worth the splurge. From classic crewnecks to chic mock necks, these cozy finds prove you can have luxe cashmere without the jaw-dropping price tag.

With its classic crewneck, dreamy softness, and a fit that's form-flattering but oh-so-comfy, this budget-friendly cashmere sweater is the ultimate gateway into the world of quiet luxury. Even better? It comes in a rainbow of colors and plenty of sizes to suit every taste. It's also our Editor's pick!

Made from 100% cashmere, this Madewell v-neck sweater features a relaxed fit that looks and feels cozy. It is also easy to layer over collared shirts (which we highly recommend for a chic look). I'd say since it's on sale right now, it's definitely worth the price.

Drapey, flattering, and ultra-soft, this cashmere gem comes in at half the price of our already budget-friendly fave. Sure, it might pill a bit quicker and leave us wondering about long-term wear, but for the price? It's a total steal!

For a more classic crewneck sweater, opt for this Madewell relaxed option. It's simple, lightweight, but still oh-so-soft on our skin. While it's on the pricier side of our budget, I'd still still say is worth the splurge for it's quality and longevity.

Uniqlo's cashmere selection is not only affordable, but also very well-priced. This relaxed sweater comes in a variety of colors and doesn't have that itchy cashmere feeling when worn on its own.

For the best cashmere that feels as good as it sounds, Gobi Cashmere works directly with Mongolian herders to hand-comb the fibers, creating an ultra-soft feel at a price that starts at just $99. I’ve swapped my long-sleeved tees for their mock neck sweater, and let me tell you, it’s thick, warm, and totally worth the splurge—no need for extra layers!

Everlane is our go-to for high-quality basics, and their cashmere sweaters are no exception, offering chic updates on classic styles at a great price. The classic crew, their most popular and versatile pick, is not only one of the best options out there but also one of the most affordable.

J.Crew is your go-to for cashmere that goes beyond the basics, offering everything from classic hues to bold, unique shades. Plus, with their commitment to sustainable cashmere production and inclusive sizing up to 3XL, it’s a feel-good buy all around.

For timeless, classic cashmere that’s all about modest style, Lands' End is where to shop. While their 2-ply cashmere is a bit pricier, the brand’s frequent sales and wider size range make it totally worth it.

Beloved by shoppers and our very own editors, Abercrombie & Fitch is another brand that has really knocked it out of the park with its cashmere options. We love this crew sweater that has made its way into many of our winter capsule wardrobes. It's thick, cozy, and worth the price (even if it's technically on the higher end).
