Naadam Cashmere Review: Sweaters That We Recommend
A couple of years back, I stumbled upon NAADAM while commuting by subway to the office (back when office commutes were a thing).
The inviting image of a sweater in the advertisement sparked my curiosity, leading me to visit their website where I purchased their signature cashmere sweater. I adored it so much that I got another for my husband, and soon enough, we both became avid fans.
Having built up a substantial collection of NAADAM apparel, I thought it's about time I penned down a detailed review of NAADAM cashmere for everyone.
Here’s a breakdown of the sizes, fits, my top picks, and my current wish list!

Review of NAADAM Cashmere
It’s no surprise that I’m a huge fan of NAADAM cashmere. I’ve yet to encounter any brand that delivers such durable, quality cashmere at this price point. These sweaters are built to last. They maintain their sheen and don’t pill, even with frequent wear over several months. They’re incredibly cozy, exceptionally soft, and highly breathable- you won’t overheat wearing one.
If you're considering whether NAADAM cashmere is worth the investment, I can confidently say it definitely is. The iconic cashmere sweater I’m sporting here is a popular choice for good reason. BELIEVE IT!
Sizing and Fit at NAADAM
Women’s
From my experience, all their sweaters and joggers fit true to size. And the fit? Just FLAWLESS.
My husband and I often remark how the clothing seems tailor-made for us. Their pieces are incredibly flattering and appear to be custom-fitted—no boxy shapes or awkward seams here.
My Dimensions:
- Height: 5’8
- Dress Size: 3
- Jean Size: 28
- Bra Size: 34DD
- NAADAM Size: I usually opt for a size small in their range. If you like a baggier fit, consider sizing up.
Men’s
My husband also finds that the tops and sweaters are true to size. The trousers range from XS to XXL, and initially, David wasn’t sure about his ideal size but ended up choosing a small. Below are his precise measurements for better guidance.
David’s Dimensions:
- Height: 5’11
- Pant Size: 32 x 32
- Shirt Size: Medium
- NAADAM Size: David wears medium in sweaters and small in trousers. For those unsure about their pant size from XS to XXL, consider his and the model’s measurements as a useful reference.
Top NAADAM Cashmere Choices
Below are some of my and David’s favorite picks from NAADAM. While we haven’t tried everything, these pieces really stand out for us.
WOMEN'S
NAADAM Cashmere Hoodie & Joggers
This cashmere set is a must-have if you’re considering NAADAM. Perfect for autumn with your favorite jeans and white sneakers or winter boots. I own several colors but highly recommend black and granite.
I opted for a small in hoodies and a medium in joggers for a more relaxed fit (though my true size would be small). These were my first venture into cashmere sweatpants, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. Sizes available from XXS to 3X. P.S. This set makes an INCREDIBLE cozy gift for anyone who wouldn’t usually treat themselves.
NAADAM Ribbed Cropped Cashmere Cardigan
This ribbed cashmere cardigan from NAADAM’s autumn collection might just be my favorite. Though the exact cardigan is no longer available, the linked one is very similar! When I felt like dressing up last week, I ended up wearing it three consecutive days (and then it was back to loungewear for me). The neckline and buttons are ideally placed, allowing you to wear the sweater with just a bra or add a base layer like a tank. I appreciate its snug fit without feeling tight. I’m wearing a size small.
NAADAM Structured Shoulder Cable Knit Sweater
This was the first time a “power shoulder” design didn’t make me look like I was suiting up for football. This specific sweater is running low in stock, but Naadam offers a range of cable-knit designs I’m keeping an eye on (like this v-neck version). The cable knit pattern is understated yet adds a distinctive touch that sets it apart. I’m wearing a size small.
NAADAM Cropped Cashmere Turtleneck
Discovering the ideal turtleneck is no simple feat, but NAADAM has perfected theirs. I absolutely adore the cropped version I own, though it’s no longer available. Since my initial purchase, the brand has introduced several turtleneck variants, and this one is very similar. I’m wearing a size small.
NAADAM Original Cashmere Sweater
The NAADAM original cashmere sweater has garnered a loyal following for a reason. It still amazes me that they can produce such a luxuriously soft, well-crafted sweater at such an accessible price—I’m not complaining, though. I choose between a small and a medium depending on the fit I desire. Small for a more fitted look, medium for a looser feel. This sweater pairs wonderfully with black skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots (these are my go-to!).
NAADAM Crewneck Cardigan
This crewneck style is a newer addition from NAADAM, and I’m totally in love with it. It’s adorable with a simple pair of jeans and some white sneakers or booties. I appreciate how it buttons up, allowing for various styling options. It’s essentially the ideal staple for transitioning through seasons.
NAADAM Cashmere Boatneck Sweater
I’m a big fan of boatneck sweaters during the cooler months. The subtle dip in the neckline offers a bit of cooling if needed, but it’s also perfect for layering a shirt underneath or adding a scarf for extra warmth. This sand color is a classic, though the sweater also comes in seasonal shades like berry and sage.
MENS
NAADAM Cashmere Sweatpant
My at-home wardrobe has been completely taken over by NAADAM’s line of cashmere and fleece sweats. I enjoy mixing and matching colors, as shown here with the sweatpants in sage green and the cashmere sweatshirt in black. I’m wearing a medium in the sweatshirt and a small in the pants. Wondering what shoes to pair with them? Check out my list of top white sneakers for men.
NAADAM Ultralight Button Up Shirt
One aspect I love about NAADAM is that their range now extends beyond just sweaters. Here I’m sporting an ultra-lightweight button-up shirt in black, perfect for a laid-back evening out, a casual business meeting, or a Zoom call from home. It’s definitely one of my essential men’s style pieces.
NAADAM Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
I wasn’t much of a turtleneck guy until I discovered this one from NAADAM. I had doubts about pulling off the look as they tend to fit tightly, and I’m not particularly athletic. However, this sweater’s larger, thicker design provides a more balanced appearance.
