As cozy and chic as a great cashmere sweater can be, it’s also usually a bit of an investment—so finding one that looks great, feels comfortable, and lasts a long time is especially important.

We tested 25 cashmere sweaters, ranging in price from $50 to $500, and came away with six warm, well-made favorites—one of which is on sale right now.

Dubbed by our experts as “the perfect entry point into the world of cashmere,” this crewneck has a classic, timeless look, a fit that’s slim without being clingy, and a buttery-soft feel. On a 60-degree autumn day, it was warm enough on its own for a walk around New York City; in the deep of winter, it’s perfect as an extra layer that isn’t bulky beneath a coat.

Some good news from our cleaning experts: Despite what the label might say, many delicate textiles are actually better off being cleaned at home. (Using our favorite hand-washing detergent, perhaps?) Doing so will not only save you money, but also extend the life of the fabric.

Fueled by her “unending desire to be a human burrito,” writer Kase Wickman swears by these cozy accessories to trick out a Kindle, including a tablet holder that clamps onto your bedframe and suspends the e-reader above your head, and a remote control page turner—both of which let you keep both your arms inside your blanket cocoon.
