Short cashmere cardigans for women

A short cardigan in 100% pure cashmere adds a soft layer without concealing the shape of an outfit. The length works particularly well with high-waisted trousers and skirts, but the cardigan can also be worn open over a lightweight top or buttoned as a top in its own right.

How to style a short cardigan

Wear the cardigan buttoned as a soft top, perhaps leaving a few buttons open at the top or bottom for a more relaxed feel. Over a dress, singlet or T-shirt, it becomes a lightweight layer that is easy to add or remove throughout the day.

The shorter length creates a natural transition at the waist. Pair it with wide-leg trousers to balance the proportions, or with a slimmer skirt for a more continuous silhouette.

Layering silk and cashmere

One of our silk tops or blouses worn beneath a cardigan creates a subtle contrast between the smooth drape of silk and the softness of cashmere. Let the neckline or collar remain visible, or leave the cardigan open so the two materials can work together.

For a soft layer in the same material, pair the cardigan with a cashmere singlet. This adds warmth without unnecessary bulk and works well in tonal combinations or contrasting shades.
