Cashmere Athleisure & Travel Sets
What Are We Wearing?
If there’s one trend dominating airports, coffee shops, and school drop-offs right now, it’s elevated comfort. Cashmere athleisure and travel sets are having a major moment and they have even made their way into our holiday looks. Luxurious athleisure sets in cashmere, wool, cotton, and rich blends offer the softness of loungewear, the polish of ready-to-wear, and the versatility to go from the couch to curbside pickup to champagne in the Centurion Lounge. Here’s how I’m shopping for these deliciously versatile sets and how to wear them.
1. The Airport Uniform
There’s no better travel companion than a matching cashmere hoodie or zip front sweater and relaxed wide-leg knit pants. Neutral shades like cream, camel, black or heather gray instantly make the look feel luxurious. Add a trench or wool overcoat layered on top for elegance, and finish with sleek sneakers and a structured tote or crossbody.
Tara’s Style Edit:
Always add one structured piece. Whether it’s a tailored coat or a rigid carry-on, structure keeps soft cashmere from looking too slouchy.
2. Off-Duty Luxe
For running errands, holiday shopping, grabbing brunch, a cardigan and turtleneck cashmere knit paired with matching pants hits the perfect balance of cozy and cool. Opt for a monochrome palette chocolate brown, burgundy, charcoal, or soft blush to make the outfit look intentionally styled. Finish with chunky sunglasses and a leather crossbody or tote and your favorite flats for chic finish.
Tara’s Style Edit:
Monochrome = instant polish. Keeping everything in the same color family elevates even the most relaxed silhouette.
3. Casual Holiday Fare
A rich cashmere midi dress or coordinating sweater and skirt set are your secret weapons for days or gatherings when you want to be cozy and comfortable but still appropriately put together. Style the dress or two piece set with chunky loafers, a chic mule, Chelsea boots or a fashion sneaker and finish with gold hoops and a watch to pull the entire look together with minimal effort.
Tara’s Style Edit:
Add a third piece. A layered turtleneck, cardigan or oversized scarf creates dimension and makes loungewear look like a full outfit rather than pajamas.
