Has any of you ever heard of the “cachemire factor”? Maybe not, because it’s a term I invented. I use it to describe a particular kind of womanly beauty, that’s irresistible for some men. I’m talking about fatal allure and welcoming softness, I’m talking about a funny look, even a bit sleepy, as if you’ve just got up from bed, but with a very pleasant thought in your mind and with a sexy robe on your shoulders. That’s the cachemire effect. Wearing this precious fabric will obviously give you a certain dose of sensuality.

Just remember, though, that well-made cachemire shouldn’t peel your skin, its pattern should be very tight and super soft. The guru Karl Spilhaus, president of the Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute, suggest a simple test: hold your sweater in your fist and then let it go. If it’s real cachemire it will immediately go back to life.

Of course there’s no need to only have 100% pure cachemire sweaters. Now that autumn is tempting and inspiring us, we can’t help but ask for the hug of a warm sweater. Here’s some interesting and original piece. First of all I’d like to suggest you this outstanding blazer, maybe in a jacquard pattern, with manly elements Wales prince inspired, or this pied-de-poule (which I prefer). Amazing color block sweater in pure cachemire by Karl Lagerfeld, with blue navy panels around the neck, the sleeves and the hem. For girls who love sports, travels and a bit of a biker-inspired style, but with personality.

Instead if you’re more sporty, I have something special for you by Tory Sports: this sweater in a precious mix of cotton and cachemire, perfect to be worn after jogging, comfortable and welcoming thanks to its raglan sleeves and its loose fit. Also, chech out Zara’s cachemire offers, which have nice colours and patterns, despite their not excellent quality. I love this light pink sweater and also this V-necked sweater with ribbed hem on the sleeves and the neckline: classy and classic.

Finally, if you want to get something eternal (but a bit prohibitive), there is Falconieri, cachemire’s master: just take a look at the new arrivals to experience the deepest of desires. Look, for example, at this marvellous coat with a loose shoulder and robe-like closure that will enhance your cachemire factor. Retro style, extra-luxury look. Have a good dream and a nice autumn.
