How to Wear Cashmere in your Free Time

There are fabrics that once you put them on, you never want to stop having them on your skin. Comfortable, elegant, enveloping. Cashmere has no equal in this regard, both for its magnetic softness and for its refined and romantic charm. It may seem fragile, given the unexpected lightness and delicacy it presents on the outside, but it proves to be strong and solid instead, capable of supporting the person over time.

During the coldest period of the year, it represents security for those who choose it. Not surprisingly, it is repeatedly proposed by major fashion houses that see it as a symbol of elegance and a guarantee from the point of view of beauty. Besides work, it proves to be an exceptional material for enjoying your free time to the fullest, which is no less important, even from an outfit perspective, than professional time. Moments when it’s necessary to find spaces all for yourself, where you can catch your breath and breathe fresh air, to then return to daily life more refreshed than ever and even more motivated.

Cashmere is the ideal fabric to use during off-work hours because it allows an easy approach to life without giving up chic appeal, to feel good even when you take advantage of a rainy afternoon to stay on the couch and watch a movie. 1stAmerican offers it according to a mood of pure comfort, with sporty, essential lines that are no less refined, both in men’s and women’s collections. A way to give new value to those simple emotions that speak of warmth and sharing. Time to dedicate to your passions, to meeting with friends or, simply, to reading a book within the confines of your home but also outdoors or in a café.

An All-Day Outfit (in the Era of Smart Working)

The pandemic has shown us how important it is, when spending time at home both for smart working and for free time, to take care of your clothing. The home has become a more crucial place than ever in recent years, much more than in the past where in many jobs it was relegated to a sort of transitional place, a support where to rest and, when possible, spend meal times.

The pandemic has made our homes more complex places to live. Now that the emergency seems to be behind us, our habits have changed, even in the use of spaces during free time. We have learned something crucial and certainly in all this there is attention to what we wear. Also because the two times, free and work, with smart working tend to mix quite a bit and having clothes to use functionally for both situations proves to be more necessary than ever.

1stAmerican pieces are perfect for those who find themselves interacting with a video camera, for work meetings on Google Meet for example, but don’t want to give up freedom of movement. This is what cashmere allows, which among its countless merits has that of being an elastic fabric, much more than classic wool yarns. For these reasons, 1stAmerican’s proposal sees it as the protagonist, both alone and accompanied by yarns like wool, cotton and silk. A combination that enhances the characteristics of all these materials making them even more interesting. For all-day outfits for both him and her where a simple sweater manages to make, thanks to its shine and quality, the difference.

Jeans and Cashmere Sweater: Nothing More

You say free time and think… jeans. Denim is fashionable this year, thanks to a revival of the seventies and eighties that sees it declined in a thousand interesting ways, without ever disappointing. A casual alternative, certainly, but also elegant: the combination of cashmere sweater and jeans always proves valid for work as well as for free time, indeed, even more so for this part of a person’s life. A practical solution for both him and her, at any age. An evergreen look where the top balances well with the bottom, in a harmony and style coherence that has no equal.

The piece we suggest with jeans? The sweater by 1stAmerican in 100% cashmere, with crew neck or V-neck. A classic that never disappoints, perfect with denim and able to enhance that modern appeal all its own, for an essential and never banal style. For her, 1stAmerican creates it in different shades, one more intriguing than the other: from basic colors such as gray, blue, black and beige, to more audacious shades like coral, yellow and royal blue. Perfect for giving additional brightness to the complexion during days when the weather invites you to stay home, in the company of a good glass of wine or chestnuts.

A similar look also for him, who finds the 100% cashmere sweater by 1stAmerican elegant for free time together with jeans. An ideal solution not only for those days you intend to spend within your home walls but also outside in the fresh air, on a walk among autumn leaves. There will be no need to wear a waterproof jacket, perfect for going from the woods to the restaurant. The sweater takes up autumn colors, from orange to cherry to chocolate brown. Shades that warm at sight and that cashmere makes more precious than ever. To wear, why not, in direct contact with the skin.

A Refined Poncho

The poncho was born as a piece of clothing capable of sheltering the body from rain and/or during the cold temperatures of the autumn/winter period. Not surprisingly, it is usually found declined in wool yarns, warmer and more comfortable but also more pleasant from the point of view of protection.

Today the poncho is worn not only under the coat, but also over it, in the form of a cape. An elegant and pleasant-to-touch idea, capable of making a difference in terms of comfort and elegance. 1stAmerican offers it in 100% cashmere, a choice of pure elegance and femininity, thanks to a soft and less thick weave, but equally warm, compared to that of other yarns. The cashmere poncho is enveloping and is perfect for free time as well as for work, where it manages to guarantee freedom of movement, even for those who spend a lot of time at the computer, as well as its personal elegance.

You can wear it with jeans or velvet pants and to further appreciate its important warmth put on a cashmere crew neck underneath, close to the body and capable of staying in close contact with the skin without reddening it, despite being a wool even if a very special one. Pay attention to colors, balancing as much as possible with accessories. The poncho will be the extra touch for your free time.

Cashmere Cardigan: Beautiful and Comfortable

The cardigan is a loose-fitting sweater characterized by a front button closure. It’s an excellent choice for both men and women, especially when made of cashmere. The reason can be traced back to its origins as a military garment, introduced in the British Navy in the 19th century, which over time has taken on a country, somewhat rural and rustic connotation. This actually makes it very easy to pair, especially for leisure time, where it’s the essence of practicality.

Women can wear the cardigan with a patterned shirt, for example with floral prints, but also in a solid color look, suitable for smart working, the office, and even for an afternoon at the cinema or theater. Moreover, 1stAmerican’s shiny silk shirt is perfect, capable of giving extra luminosity to the complexion and new comfort to the skin, which can thus breathe without giving up authentic and personal beauty.

The cardigan also looks good for a dinner with friends paired with vinyl pants, especially black, brown, and green ones, or for leisure time at home, over leggings, which today can also be found with synthetic fur inside and are therefore even more comfortable. 1stAmerican’s cardigan features side pockets that are not only visually pleasing but also practical for everyday life and leisure time.

The cardigan is perfect for men too, after all, it originated as a men’s garment, representing a mix of rigor, professionalism, warmth, and comfort. Much like the English sailors who originally used it. It looks good both in an informal look under a shirt and accompanied by a long-sleeved sweater, even in cashmere and silk for particularly cold days. 1stAmerican’s cardigan is 100% cashmere and is available not only with the classic button solution but also in a zip-up model. More sporty and practical for those activities, such as an outdoor walk, where changing the t-shirts in contact with the skin proves to be important and necessary, even in winter.

Leisure Time Accessories

It’s the accessories that make the difference. Designers know this and for this reason, they pay particular attention to their variation. Taking care of every stitch and detail, never leaving anything to chance. What are the must-haves for leisure time during the cold season of the year? Those that cover the extremities of the body, such as the head and hands, but also the neck, significantly exposed to atmospheric agents that should never be underestimated, in an era like today’s that sees frequent and sudden climate changes.

1stAmerican offers gloves, scarves, and hats in cashmere with a simple and unmistakable style, versatile in terms of pairing and suitable for making the outfit even cooler. Why choose cashmere for these important accessories? Simple, it’s the best material both for its thermoregulatory capacity and for the fact that it’s in direct contact with skin that in these parts of the body is as delicate as ever (and therefore to be preserved from possible irritations).

1stAmerican’s cashmere and wool hats are made in colors that look good on everyone and have an excellent fit. They are designed for men but are also a great option for leisure time for women. If you think of getting one, know that you’ll find yourself, as a couple, contending for it: once worn, you don’t want to take it off anymore, even when you’re in front of the TV on the couch at home. It becomes a sort of second skin.

This also applies to gloves, perfect to match with the hat and as refined as ever. It’s important that hands are always in perfect order not only through a well-groomed manicure, for him as for her, but also through gloves which are among the accessories that least go unnoticed. With those in cashmere you can never go wrong: they are simple, comfortable, and remain impeccable. The colors you can never go wrong with? Blue, gray, and brown.

Finally, the scarf, which for men is never an easy choice but becomes extremely simple when it comes to the items offered by 1stAmerican. A sporty and elegant style. The cashmere scarf fits perfectly both in the leisure look, together with the classic jeans and sweater combination, and in a more informal one: coat, suit, and trendy shoes. A choice that will never look out of place, even on a special evening during the weekend.

In addition to being able to dare to look inside his wardrobe for leisure time, borrowing a pair of cashmere gloves, a scarf, and even the hat, women can have fun playing with accessories during weekend events, without giving up a comfortable and refined style. A pair of earrings or a pearl necklace is enough to liven up the cashmere poncho and sweater, but also a silk scarf. Capable of adapting to all shades of light and giving a new charm to the woman who thus finds a new luminosity. Capable of always surprising and making her feel beautiful in all circumstances.
