[unpaid/affiliate] Typically, it is recommended to buy cashmere during the summer when brands aim to clear out last season’s stock to make room for new styles and drop prices significantly. Cashmere pieces tend to be timeless in design, so there isn’t much variation from year to year. The discounted price of 60% off was too good to pass on, so despite the heatwave and concerns from Covid, I decided to purchase this ME + EM sweater.
My face is visibly sweaty! I couldn’t present this sweater seriously while dripping with sweat, eager to take it off. I’m showing you the authentic pictures with all the imperfections for transparency. The sweater has a speckled design, which I quite like for a change. I had a similar one from Cos in the past, and if I could repurchase it, I would. Even though I still have it, it’s quite worn out.
Opted for my gardening shorts instead of jeans for the photos! The sweater has a nice drop at the back, and its boxy shape allows you to easily layer it over anything for a cozy and stylish look. It combines Merino and Cashmere fibers, providing comfort levels between pure cashmere and pure wool. Note that despite the Me + Em website stating it’s 100% cashmere, the label indicates it’s actually 90% merino and 10% wool.

Dcypher Custom Blend Foundation Review
The off-white stripe around the neck adds a nice touch, and you can fold it down to hide it if preferred. Personally, I like wearing it both ways – with a higher neck on cold days and slightly rolled down otherwise. Reduced from £250 to £100, the price feels very reasonable for a cashmere blend. To protect your cashmere from moths, store it separately in a zip bag and consider freezing it for 48 hours before mixing it with other cashmere items.
Feeling much better now, I plan to spend the weekend catching up on photography work and hope to resume regular activities next week. Thank you for all the well-wishes and patience.
