The hallmarks of cashmere

Soft like no other fabric, light, ungainly, but also durable, able to maintain its characteristics unchanged over time. Cashmere originates in the highlands of Asia Minor and is spun by the hircus goat, which has to adapt to an environment that is anything but easy. Hot, cold and humid are all at their best in the places where this animal is native, but its response has been surprising: cashmere, indeed.

Cashmere is the fruit of this story, where versatility and adaptability are indispensable-that’s why it is so special. It can shelter from the wind, warm to the core but also let the skin breathe. It never renounces touch and elegance; it is no coincidence that it also lends itself to being worn in direct contact with the epidermis. Cashmere is simply perfect, it is easily washed by hand and if, kept with care, just let it air between uses, it can really last a lifetime aging well.

Let’s move on at this point to see how to wear it, in different situations and times of the day. The style of 1stAmerican is casual and at the same time chic, perfect for the college student who does not want to give up a touch of sophistication as well as for the business woman who wants to be comfortable and elegant. This year’s fashion suggests outfits that can be worn from morning to night, simply by playing with accessories. Cashmere from 1stAmerican is perfect for any occasion, and at the end of the day you will feel good in your garments.

1) Cashmere and silk by day

Being chic and stylish doesn’t take that much. A nice pair of pants, perfect the timeless jeans, a turtleneck and a light jacket. Just pay attention to color matching: no more than three colors at a time suggest stylists and you’re done. You can complete the outfit with a necklace that echoes the chosen colors and a comfortable shoe, with a heel or without.

Heading into autumn, a cashmere-silk crew-neck sweater is perfect. Lightweight, breathable, pleasant in contact with the skin, cashmere does not have the typical wool problem of causing itchiness and redness to the epidermis; on the contrary, it manages to make it feel almost moisturized. Silk, also soft, adds lightness and luminosity. The cashmere-silk choker is precious and delicate.

The ideal complement is a silk jacket, which can be found on 1stAmerican in classic shades such as blue and beige, with a classic cut. A perfect garment with the cashmere-silk crew-neck sweater, which is also functional for the summer office look: just put on a basic T-shirt, this year’s fashion loves it white or pastel, shades that suit everyone.

2) A poncho for all occasions

If you are on vacation in the mountains, even on late summer days a slightly cooler evening can happen, and a cashmere garment always comes in handy in your suitcase. A cashmere poncho is ideal and takes up little space.

1stAmerican offers it in shades of black, blue and pink, which match perfectly with the other colors. For evening in the mountains, the cashmere poncho looks elegant and comfortable. It looks great with both jeans and a silk dress, casual yet hyper-feminine.

The cashmere poncho is a must-have item in anticipation of fall but also winter. It can be used in place of a jacket for a fun daytime look for study, work and leisure. In winter worn under a coat it replaces the classic sweater, giving a different option. A cashmere poncho really cannot be missed in the wardrobe because of its special versatility.

3) Not just cashmere: linen for leisure.

Linen is one of the oldest materials. It was one of the cornerstones of Ancient Egyptian culture; it is reported that Pharaohs were wrapped in it to make the transition from human to divine possible, and it was also worked by primitive man. It is therefore no accident that it has come down to us without ever falling into disuse.

Its texture makes it ideal for summer: it inspires coolness, recalls the sea breeze, and allows you to cope with warmer temperatures with ease. What is not expected is that it can be functional in less mild, not to mention cold, temperatures. Linen is a natural fiber that can adapt, somewhat like cashmere and silk. Not to mention its sophistication and elegance.

Linen is an ideal material for leisure, whether for spending time outdoors or for an evening with friends. 1stAmerican offers it in different types of garments: blouses, shirts, sweaters, pants, Bermuda shorts and dresses. Linen discreetly shelters from the sun’s rays but also from the wind, allowing the skin to relate best to the weather. A shirt or blouse, even with long sleeves are a great solution for the beach, an alternative to the classic cotton or a sarong, to stay on the beach in style.

In winter, the same linen sweater that was used in summer can come in handy again under the cashmere sweater, making it even warmer and cuddlier, while during mid-seasons it can be paired with the silk jacket for the office look. As to say, one garment so many matching possibilities.

4) Cashmere cardigan? A certainty!

The cashmere cardigan is a certainty. Comfortable, practical, enhances the figure and allows great freedom of movement . The cashmere cardigan looks good over a shirt, even a linen one, or a sweater, more or less opaque depending on the season.

In winter it can be paired with a turtleneck of the same color; a necklace, a pendant, and even a brooch will make it even more precious. For mid-season, however, the ideal combination is with a silk tank top, which makes it lighter. Another element can be added to this look, again in silk, which 1stAmerican offers in so many variations: the 100% silk scarf.

5) The silk scarf: garment that never gets tired

The headscarf has been a fashion staple for many years and periodically returns to the runways. Made iconic by stars such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Grace Kelly, it can be worn in a thousand ways and can only be in silk, the fabric that most enhances it.

1stAmerican offers it at affordable prices and both patterned and monochrome. It can be used for summer evenings as in place of a scarf or stole during other seasons. It makes the skin brighter-no other material is as radiant as silk-and is an attractive protection for the neck area. Silk is a natural thermoregulator and manages to combine elegance and functionality.

The silk scarf is suitable for use both on special occasions and during everyday life. It is extremely functional when traveling and looks great with any other fabric from cashmere to viscose.

6) The importance of accessories (in cashmere)

Accessories are the strong point of any look. They allow you to express your personality and make your outfit unique, but also, by alternating, you can adapt the combination to the day as well as to the evening: a scarf, a piece of jewelry, a different shoe will suffice.

Cashmere is not only sweaters, cardigans and ponchos; it is also perfect for making accessories. Because, as we mentioned, in direct contact with the skin it is really comfortable, even for those with particularly sensitive epidermis.

Cashmere gloves are not simply wool gloves. They are softer, do not cause irritation and are more refined. The same goes for the scarf , delicate to the touch and durable. The hats are a surprise: lightweight and functional.

7) Silk cashmere dresses: always elegant

Silk lends itself not only to scarves or, together with cashmere, to making sweaters capable of impressing. A silk dress allows one to be elegant on all occasions while feeling light, this thanks to its impalpable feel to the touch.

Cashmere has the same characteristics as silk and, in a dress manages to give it an extra element in its favor: elasticity. Silk, in fact, can feel almost too “straight” in the fabric of a dress, while cashmere makes it more snug, bringing out its softness.

A silk cashmere dress is a garment that will fit little in the closet, since it is a passepartout for all occasions. A fabric that enhances the figure, softening the shape and enhancing height. To make it even more special, a string of pearls will be the most appropriate choice: the silk of the fabric will shine even more.

8) Turtleneck what a passion!

Sometimes people think that uncovering is more seductive, but this is not necessarily so. A cashmere turtleneck succeeds in enhancing a sensual part such as the neck by exactly the opposite (and complementary) system, namely by covering the neck.

The turtleneck allows you to enjoy a better quality of life in everyday life. The neck stays warm, and it is something to pay attention to. In anticipation of the fall season, the choice of a turtleneck, light as only cashmere can be, is not to be underestimated. It is also a garment that allows you to stay more sheltered from the sudden environmental changes that have characterized recent years and at the same time not give up elegance.

Cashmere, silk and linen. Fabrics that look good both on their own and together. Perfect for creating outfits of a thousand shades, classic and always different.
