Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

It is a lightweight knit, so it works best as a layer. Wear it over a shirt or under a coat in cold weather rather than on its own.

How does it compare with a heavier cashmere sweater?

It is thinner and less warm than two-ply cashmere crews, but lighter and easier to layer. Choose it for year-round wear, not deep winter.

Lightweight cashmere commonly pills where it rubs, such as under the arms and at the cuffs. Wash it gently and de-pill with a fabric comb.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo or dry clean. Lay it flat to dry and avoid hanging, which stretches the knit.

How does the classic fit run?

It is a straight, easy fit through the body. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Our take on the Banana Republic Lightweight Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater

A classic-fit crew-neck sweater knitted from lightweight cashmere, made for layering and year-round wear. The straight, easy fit through the body and simple crew neck and straight hem keep it versatile. It sits above heavier two-ply cashmere knits on warmth but is softer and lighter than cotton or merino crews at the same weight. Owners rate it highly for softness and everyday wear; the main knock is that thin cashmere pills and needs careful washing.
