We recently tried and reviewed new-to-us-brand, Naked Cashmere, and now we’re here to show you all the ways we’ve been wearing it and our thoughts after a few months trying it out.
The original article can be found here (including video reviews).
The truth is we’re both smitten with everything we’ve tried but we also wanted to wear it, wash it, and do an even more in-depth report.
Naked Cashmere As A Set
Kaia + Uri Joggers
We both ended up buying a set (all pieces purchased separately). The sweaters were so good we couldn’t resist. We’ve also tried (and returned) cashmere pants in the past, and have never found any that stood up to our standards, until now.
For me, the biggest issue with cashmere pants is weight but also whether it will pill easily. Spoiler alert, these don’t. Even expensive cashmere pills, but my pieces from Naked Cashmere haven’t yet. That doesn’t mean they won’t pill – it just means they are not pill crazy (like some brands we’ve tried).
Sweater | Pants | Boots (sized down 1/2) | Bag
Over the weekend, I was heading out for Sunday morning breakfast and this was cozy and perfect (mornings here are chilly).
I’ve also worn this to Trader Joe’s (a must in the freezer section, ha!) and just lounging around at home. I’ve not washed mine yet, but Rachel has washed hers twice on the hand wash cycle in the washing machine, without issue. She has used the Naked Cashmere shaver but pilling has been minimal and only on high friction areas (under arms and between legs)
My set is definitely more casual than Rachel’s. Navy and black lends itself to styling up a bit more. I also have a more casual sweater paired with my joggers.
I’m wearing size S in both pieces.

Poppey + Uri Joggers
Sweater | Pants | Bag (Left) | Bag (Right) | Sneakers (Left) | Boots (Right)
Rachel has worn her set already a ton (cooler temps in Denver than San Diego) She’s worn hers with sneakers, loafers, lug boots, heels (yep) and tall boots like above. This set is easy for lounging but luxe enough to dress up a bit. And of course, the pieces can easily be styled individually. See her Instagram reel where she styled it several ways.
Rachel is wearing size XS in both pieces.

Poppey Pullover
Sweater | Pants (up to 27) | Belt | Boots | Bag (similar)
After Rachel got her gorgeous set, I fell in love with the Poppey half zip. I’d been looking for one for a while but they were all too bulky or itchy. This one is so perfect for me.
We went window shopping one night (I love our outdoor malls) and now that daylight ends at 5pm and decorations are starting to go up, I love wandering around when it’s darker. It’s just so pretty and makes me excited for Christmas. As a Canadian, I have to work a little harder at that here in San Diego.
Naked Cashmere
Campbell Pullover
Even though it doesn’t always feel like Winter or Christmas here, I can’t complain too much, as we also get to do this year-round.
My kids have spent their entire lives living in beach places – North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Oahu, and San Diego. My daughter says she can never live away from the ocean.
Jeans (TTS) | Sweater (TTS) | Bag | Flip Flops | Sunglasses
The Naked Cashmere Campbell sweater is so cozy and I absolutely love the ribbing. I don’t have anything like it, and I’m wearing it in colorway Storm Grey in size Small.
Naked Cashmere
Tulip Pullover
Sweater | Jeans | Bag | Strap (similar) | Boots | Sunglasses
At only $125 full price, the Tulip sweater is perhaps the very best deal and also one of our favorites ever! You can wear it both on or off the shoulder. All the colors we’ve seen are gorgeous, it has a beautiful drape, and the knit is lightweight and super soft.
I purposely tugged it down to wear it off the shoulder here, but Rachel mostly just wears hers on the shoulder (below).
Pants (minimal sizes left) | Pants (similar) | Shoes | Bag
Rachel is wearing XS in colorway Alabaster (currently sold out, but there are so many amazing colors) and I am wearing S in colorway Truffle.
Naked Cashmere
Runa Pullover
Rachel also has the Runa sweater in Adobe and this is very similar to the Tulip, above, except it is definitely an off the shoulder boat neckline. It is also heavier than the Tulip at 210 grams of 100% pure cashmere 12-gauge knit.

She wore it during her recent visit to San Diego and even though it was warm out that evening, she was very comfortable and not too hot.
As with all her Naked Cashmere pieces, she’s wearing the Runa sweater in XS in colorway Adobe.
Naked Cashmere
Cora Pullover
I wrote about the Cora Pullover in my original article here. I did size down in this one to XS in colorway Olive.
sweater (oversized, wearing XS) | pants (TTS, wearing 4) | bag | bag strap
I wore this to a dressier affair, but it was also chilly with light rain on and off. The Cora is perfect for dressing up or down and the ribbed olive fabric and bell sleeves looks and feels luxe.
Naked Cashmere
Black Friday Collection
Naked Cashmere comes out with new items the first day of each month. This month they are also offering their Black Friday Collection, their exclusive limited-edition collection comprised of 23 of their most coveted styles at even better prices. These items are only available while supplies last.
Some of these would make fantastic holiday gifts, including for the men in your life!
These are just a couple of the items that caught my eye. There are so many good pieces of all price points.
They have an entire Gift Guide Section, including a Gifts for Him section plus an Under $100 Gift Guide Selection.
