Writer Brenley Goertzen was working on our guide to the best cardigans when she came across a curious new fabric from Gap: CashSoft. A medium-weight layer, it has a cashmere-soft feel that’s made from 53 percent cotton and 47 percent nylon. It very quickly became a part of her fall and winter wardrobe — she’s worn it everywhere, from around the house to happy hour. “The CashSoft material was so comfortable and gentle on my skin that I could wear it with just a minimal bralette,” she says. After raving about CashSoft to some of the Strategist staff, Goertzen learned that she’s not the only fan. New York Magazine’s deputy editor, Alexis Swerdloff, and Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio are both CashSoft devotees.
