They're slightly longer than ankle length and feature a generous cuff, so you could wear them longer if you prefer. The two-ply rib knit is stretchy and they're available in a variety of colours, so you can easily mix and match them with what you're wearing. Materia){kind=link}
IS There anything more luxurious than cashmere for keeping you warm, cosy and feeling like a million dollars – and the best cashmere socks for women afford you that luxury at an affordable price.
Of course, they’ll set you back more than a pair of cotton socks would, but relatively speaking, it’s an inexpensive way to own one of the most high-end knits in the world, adored by the rich and famous – and now by you.
You can also enjoy the luxury of cashmere at a cheaper price by opting for blended knits – some of the socks we looked at contain from 10% cashmere upwards and are blended with cotton, viscose or sheep’s wool.
Whether you go for bed socks to keep your toes toasty at night, or a daytime design to wear with boots, you’ll be adding an item to your winter wardrobe that will benefit you through the coldest months.
Cashmere is warmer than sheep’s wool and comes from the Cashmere goat, which has a double fleece intended to withstand the extreme climates of the countries in which they live. Choose ethically sourced and sustainable cashmere – such as that which meets the Good Cashmere Standard – so you can be sure of animal welfare conditions.
