The Best Of: Naadam Winter Sale
In 2019 I made it a goal to shop fast fashion less, leaving me to my own devices to find alternative options for the things that I do shop for (I have been a Rent the Runway customer for almost three years now, so I don’t shop for anything for a one or few time use anymore). Along this journey, I discovered Naadam, which is a sustainable cashmere company, with the best staple pieces.
Growing up in a family that dressed me in Ralph Lauren since the day I came into this world, I am no stranger to great cashmere, but when I graduated college and was fully supporting myself, I had experienced my first time of trying to buy a new cable knit cashmere sweater when I realized that it was $300. Needless to say, when I found Naadam, I fell in love with their business model allowing me to shop for sustainable pieces for so much less than other cashmere dealers ;)
I am so fortunate to work with Naadam - I chalk this up as my most valuable partnership of 2019, not just because of the amazing pieces I have been gifted, but because of the number of you guys who have reached out to me weekly asking for my recommendations on Naadam pieces. I love that I get to share a brand with my community on here that is doing amazing things in this world and making otherwise luxury-priced pieces of clothing accessible to the rest of us! With even more requests this week for Naadam recommendations in lieu of the huge sale, I wanted to consolidate all of my responses by sharing my top five favorite pieces from the sale. Because things are going quickly, please keep in mind that as I pulled this list together, I made sure to include pieces that won’t be sold out by the time you get to this blog post today or tomorrow, but should anything be almost sold out in all sizes, I will replace or add other items that I love! I can’t wait to hear what you all buy from this amazing sale!
Disclaimer: I am gifted generously from Naadam, and may receive a kickback from you shopping through my links, which helps me continue to do this.

I have a few Naadam hoodies and it would be wrong of me to pick a favorite - you truly cannot go wrong with a cashmere hoodie. I love this one because the ribbed material allows it hang on your body so comfortably with no band at the bottom confining you in anyway.
I can’t recommend the hoodie without recommending the shorts that go with it! While you may be hesitant to buy cashmere pants as we head into spring, the shorts are the perfect transitional piece for hanging around your house, pairing with a white button down and flats for a chic look to wear for a day out, or for apres-ski with cashmere socks. Both hoodie + shorts are 50% off!
My mom drilled it into my brain when I was a child that turtlenecks are your winter’s best piece of clothing, and would yell at me everytime I would walk out the door without my chest covered in the winter. Turtlenecks make everything look better, and I love this one because it is the perfect weight with a silk/cashmere blend for layering or wearing alone with jeans without overheating. You cannot go wrong with a $75 turtleneck that will last you years with the proper care! 40% off!
Speaking of turtlenecks, I was gifted this one in Camel at the start of fall, and wasn’t sure if I would love it because I haven’t yet learned to love my arms (working on it!), but I was wrong. This is 100% cashmere, which is the softest (and warmest!) you can get on their Softness Scale. I learned quickly that the sleeveless aspect of it is actually freeing and perfect for transitional weather from fall to winter or winter to spring. So chic with a pair of jeans or a skirt and is perfect for work attire or for dinner out! 50% off, only $50!
Last but not least, contradictory to my statement about covering your chest for winter, I love this sweater as a basic to add to your wardrobe, and this burnt orange color is to-die-for IMO. This one is super soft and I love how the v-neck isn’t overly prominent, creating a very feminine look accentuating the collar bones.
Feel free to DM me on Instagram with any questions about sizing or other recommendations. I can't wait to hear what you all buy!
