It may be circumstance, but I have always thought of cashmere as a luxury largely removed from the day-to-day. In part that may have been due to associating cashmere not solely with luxury, but also a style most politely described as traditional.

Consider me a convert with this niceness from Mr Quintessential knitwear.

The varsity/ baseball/ prep design in sky and contrasting navy blue is perfect for dressing up or more casual days.

Meanwhile the lightest-weight Mongolian cashmere injects understated luxury into the everyday without looking like you’re fresh from the golf-club in the mid 1980s, or off to the local auction house.*

As Spring finally arrives, a perfect option to see you through to Autumn like a smart-casual boss of the highest order. 

Mr Quintessential Tide Blue Crew is priced at £195
