Porter du cachemire en été : le paradoxe élégant selon By Marie

Wearing cashmere in summer: the elegant paradox according to By Marie

Extreme Cashmere: The oversized cashmere revolution

Extreme Cashmere has changed the way we think about cashmere. The Dutch brand, founded in Amsterdam with the ambition of creating sweaters you never want to take off, offers oversized pieces with generous proportions, in surprisingly lightweight cashmere.

These are the sweaters you pull on over a bikini when you come back from the beach, wear with jeans in the evening on a terrace, or slip into your suitcase knowing they’ll work in any situation.

The colors of the summer 2026 collection: sand tones, soft corals, and off-whites are a direct ode to the season.

At BY Marie, we have been wearing Extreme Cashmere since its beginnings, convinced that its proportions and its "always too big to be perfect" philosophy are the exact antidote to overly conservative fashion. These are the favorite pieces of fashion editors, of those who don't need trends to dress: they have Extreme Cashmere.

Guest in Residence: Modern Cashmere

Founded by Gigi Hadid, Guest in Residence is not a celebrity brand; it's a serious cashmere house that has made fiber quality and modern silhouettes central to its project. The pieces are absolutely soft, with a fineness that allows them to be worn directly on the skin without the slightest irritation, even in summer. Tank tops, light cardigans, cashmere shorts – Guest in Residence has understood that cashmere doesn't need to be a turtleneck sweater to make sense.

At BY Marie, we love Guest in Residence for its way of making cashmere casual, accessible, and everyday. It's not a noble fiber you pull out for a special occasion; it's what you wear every day because it's simply better than the others.

BY Marie Collection: The House's Signature Summer Cashmere

The in-house BY Marie collection has developed a cashmere line specifically designed for summer ,a capsule of ultra-fine yarn pieces that answer a simple question: how to stay elegant when heat is everywhere, except in air-conditioned places? Marie Gas’s answer is a selection of tops, vests, and cardigans made from the finest spun cashmere, which have the lightness of a second skin and the ability to adapt to all temperatures.

These pieces are exclusively available in BY Marie boutiques and on bymarie.com; they can't be found anywhere else. This is the very definition of what BY Marie seeks in every in-house collaboration: something unique, carefully designed, that is unlike anything else on the market.

Alexandra Golovanoff: The Parisian Cashmere Icon

Alexandra Golovanoff is an institution. Fashion editor, artistic director, she founded her brand with a simple conviction: the best basics are those that last thirty years. Her cashmere t-shirts and sweaters, often adorned with discreet, sometimes impertinent messages, have become signature pieces for a certain Parisian woman who knows exactly what she wants and doesn't feel the need to justify it.

In summer, Alexandra Golovanoff's pieces are worn over a beach dress, tied at the waist over high-waisted jeans, or tucked into a bag for when the evening turns cooler. At BY Marie, we see them as fashion investments—pieces that cost what they're worth and prove it season after season.

Why Cashmere in Summer? By Marie's Answer

Here's what BY Marie has always advocated: the best fashion pieces are timeless , they adapt. Fine cashmere is thermoregulating, which means it keeps the body at a comfortable temperature in both heat and cold. It’s soft on sensitive skin, doesn’t wrinkle in a suitcase, washes easily, and ages well. These qualities are not seasonal.

And then there's that truth every woman who's spent a summer in Paris or on the French Riviera knows well: summer nights often require an extra layer, and nothing beats a beautiful cashmere sweater to elegantly navigate that twilight hour when the temperature is uncertain.
