As summer approaches, one question keeps coming up: can you wear a cashmere sweater in summer? Although this noble material is traditionally associated with winter, the superfine cashmere offered by Studio Cashmere8 breaks the rules and has become a chic ally for the transitional months. June, with its fluctuating temperatures, is the perfect month to embrace this iconic piece in a new light.

Cashmere sweaters: not just for winter

Cashmere has long been seen as a warm, dense material reserved for the coldest weather. Yet not all cashmere is equal. Thanks to textile innovation and artisanal know-how, Studio Cashmere8 offers a knit of exceptional fineness: open-knit 26S2 cashmere, 7 gauge. This very fine gauge produces a sweater that is light, fluid and breathable, perfectly suited to milder temperatures.

Wearing a summer cashmere sweater is therefore possible… as long as you choose the right piece: an airy cut, an open knit, light colours. An elegant alternative to synthetic materials, which are often stifling in hot weather.

June: the ideal month to wear lightweight cashmere

June is often marked by unstable temperatures: cool mornings, excessive air conditioning on public transport or in offices, evenings that turn chilly. The cashmere sweater then becomes the perfect companion for the season:

• It naturally regulates body temperature
• It adds an elegant touch to any outfit
• It folds and travels easily without creasing

Unlike a cotton sweatshirt or a wool sweater, open-knit cashmere offers a fluid drape and a silky feel against the skin, without ever weighing you down.

How to style a summer cashmere sweater

Here are three minimalist summer outfit ideas for wearing a cashmere sweater in June:

• Ivory cashmere V-neck sweater Kelly 10 + flowing sand linen shorts + flat sandals: a natural, clean look for sunny days.
• Oversized cashmere sweater in a pastel shade Kelly 3 + pleated midi skirt + espadrilles: perfect for a day in town or dinner on a terrace.
• Sweater draped over the shoulders with a long cotton dress: the ultimate chic detail for a sunset stroll.

Accessorise with a woven straw bag, delicate gold jewellery and oversized sunglasses to complete an elegant, practical look.

Which cashmere sweater should you choose for summer?

Choosing the right style is essential to make the most of cashmere in the warm season. At Studio Cashmere8, several styles are designed for the in-between seasons and summer:

• 16-gauge or 7-gauge sweaters, 48S2 yarn or open-knit 26S2 yarn: ultra-fine, breathable, like a second skin
• Straight or slightly loose cut: for a relaxed, elegant fit
• Light colours: white, sand, off-white, sky blue, which reflect the light

This type of knit works just as well for a casual chic look as for a dressier outfit. It is a versatile piece that adapts to every situation.
