Sleeveless knit vests aren't on the list. Instead of vests, I picked three deep V-neck knits that are great for layering loosely over short sleeves. They are MARGESHERWOOD's deep V-neck pullovers in grey and black, and Low Tide's deep V-neck alpaca knit in black. All three have deep necklines, so the collar line of the t-shirt worn underneath shows naturally without feeling suffocating. When the temperature drops sharply in the morning and evening, a pullover with a generous fit is actually more reliable to just throw on over short sleeves.
The alpaca used in the Low Tide knit comes from animals raised enduring the harsh daily temperature fluctuations of the Andes Mountains. To survive the environment that swings between midday sun and minus 20 degrees at night, they developed a hollow structure where the center of each hair strand is empty. Because it traps air inside the empty space to form an insulating layer, it is lighter than sheep's wool while offering both warmth and breathability. It was also thanks to this natural insulation that the imperial court of the Inca Empire monopolized it for noble clothing and called it the fabric of the gods.
To keep out the daily temperature difference, you could wrap a light cardigan around yourself, or you could move toward softer cashmere. Which way would you like to narrow down the list?
↳ To cashmere knits
I picked three cashmere knits. They are MARGESHERWOOD's cashmere V-neck pullover grey, INSILENCE's cashmere V-neck knit grey, and RYOO's staff V-neck knit navy. Coincidentally, all three gathered here are V-necks, and their depths make the neckline look long and neat while being easy to layer with a shirt or t-shirt underneath.
In the 1990s, the fashion world entered an era of luxury minimalism, stripping away flashy exaggerations to focus on the essence of clothing. At that time, instead of putting details forward, Jil Sander completed women's elegance with the sheer texture of pure natural materials like cashmere and precise tailoring lines. It was a moment that proved that simplicity freed of excess is the ultimate luxury created by top-grade fabric and perfect balance.
The clothes brought up this time are also great for creating a neat attitude with just the texture of the material instead of decorations. Now I'd like to narrow down the list a bit; are you looking for 100% cashmere instead of blends? Or should we look at crew neck designs, black colors, or options within the KRW 100,000 range?

↳ To 100% cashmere
I picked four pullover knits from MARGESHERWOOD made of 100% cashmere. Depending on the neckline style, they are divided into two V-necks and two crew necks, each available in neat grey and black. Without unnecessary decorations, these pieces fall clean and simple solely with the cozy texture of the yarn.
The pullover got its name from the intuitive action of pulling it over the head without buttons or fasteners. Initially, it was a rugged woolen garment worn by sailors and athletes to maintain body temperature, and the cardigan was created by opening the front and adding buttons to relieve the hassle of slipping it on over the head. In the early 20th century, Chanel introduced it as practical women's wear, and as students layered it instead of suit jackets, it established itself as the standard for fuss-free basic knitwear.
Since it's an item you lightly throw on over your head, the mood it gives off varies quite a bit depending on the neckline and color. Would you like to check the open V-neck or the calm crew neck first, or would you prefer to narrow it down by grey or black color first?
