Styling A Cashmere Sweater For AW13 | Outfit For A Family Birthday Party

A cashmere sweater is one of those special luxuries that I’ve often dreamt about, and a good quality one in your favourite colour (not just this year’s on-trend colour) is a classic that should see you through many seasons.

Today and tomorrow I’ll show you two very different ways of styling this beautiful coral boyfriend sweater from Pure Collection – starting today with how I wore it to a family birthday party!

Coral is possibly one of my all-time favourite colours, and this relaxed fit round neck sweater in the softest cashmere is perfect for any time of year. My great-nephew turned two the other week, so for my party outfit I layered my sweater over a white mini dress and teamed it with purple tights and knee-high boots – creating an absolutely delicious colour combination in the process. To dress it up a little I added a statement necklace, simple gold rings and a chunky white watch… and I loved the result. This sweater really lends itself to layering, and the colour is so pretty.

I can see myself wearing it a lot as the fit is perfect, and as you’d expect from cashmere, incredibly soft; it’s also nice to have some knitwear that won’t be too hot for a British spring (or summer)! Do come back tomorrow for my second post to see how I styled the sweater for a business meeting.

Do you own any cashmere, and are you in awe of it like me? Let me know in the comments!
