Effortless elegance, wherever your summer takes you.
When we think of summer getaways, our minds often go straight to breezy linen and beachwear but don’t overlook the versatility of cashmere. Lightweight, breathable and luxuriously soft, cashmere is the ultimate travel companion, offering comfort and style from sunrise airport lounges to sunset cocktails by the sea.
Here’s how to style cashmere for your summer escape, whether you are chasing city sunsets with the family or escaping to tranquil coastlines with just a plus one.

1. The In-Flight Essential: Cashmere Wraps and Ponchos
Planes are notoriously chilly, and long travel days call for soft, comforting layers. A cashmere wrap or a cashmere shawl is the perfect travel companion, not only does it double as a blanket on flights, but it can instantly elevate a simple airport-to-taxi outfit.
We love our Storm Grey Classic Poncho for its size, light weight and versatility. Drape it over your shoulders or slip into it as a chic cover-up as you deplane. Our Rose Taupe Cut Fringe Cashmere Wrap cashmere wrap is also a great in-flight option, stylish to wear and also easily rolls into a travel pillow.
Other great options include our Tapioca Cream Ring Cashmere Wrap or Jasmine Cream Classic Cashmere Pashmina, soft, breathable, lightweight and folds neatly into your hand luggage.
2. Beach to Brunch: Lightweight Layering
Even warm destinations can bring breezy evenings or overly air-conditioned spaces. A fine-knit cashmere pashmina adds a layer of elegance and warmth without weighing you down.
Our super popular Baby Pink Classic Cashmere Pashmina is a perfect companion to take to brunch for some fluffy French omelette with a side of freshly baked croissants and strawberry compote. If you are looking for something more neutral, our Silver Grey Ring Cashmere Pashmina is a chic choice that works just as well over a sundress as it does with tailored shorts and sandals.
3. Cool Evenings & Coastal Walks: The Oversized Cashmere Wrap
If your getaway includes seaside strolls or romantic rooftop dinners, an oversized cashmere piece adds effortless polish to your evening look. Pair your cashmere wraps and pashminas with maxi dresses, wide-leg trousers or even over your shoulders with a slip dress.
Our Fuchsia Pink Reversible Cashmere Wrap is a great choice for summer occasions and holiday activities set on such cooler climates. If you are looking for something to keep the summer breeze at bay while blending into the Mediterranean coastal colour palette or the sprawling blue riverbanks of French Riviera try our Sky Blue Ring Cashmere Pashmina, a timeless and breathable cashmere wrap that is also super easy to fold into your carry-on.
4. Colour Pop for Summer
Summer is the perfect time to introduce a splash of colour into your wardrobe. Signature Cashmere’s palette offers beautiful pastels, bold and bright hues that reflect the joy of the season.
Try the Cerise Pink Shaded Cashmere Pashmina for an energising accent to neutral or all-white outfits. It looks especially gorgeous against sun-kissed skin.
5. Cashmere as a Statement Accessory
Don’t underestimate the power of styling your cashmere as an accessory. Tie a shawl around your waist as a sarong or wear it as a headscarf to protect your hair from the sun (and add an elegant touch). You can also drape it over your shoulders for a strikingly chic finish to your summer outfits. Our summer cashmere pieces are soft, airy and sustainably made to travel light with you.
