There’s something magical about the perfect cardigan—the warmth, the slouchy cuteness, the way it can make you feel effortlessly put together and comfortable at the same time. So it’s no surprise that every time the temperature starts to drop there’s a mad dash for the Jenni Kayne Cocoon Sweater ($345) which, in our opinion, is the perfect cardigan.

But the California brand also sells buzzy shoes—like its shearling slides—and magazine cover-quality home goods, too.

How to care for Jenni Kayne sweaters

As most of the brand’s sweaters are made from delicate materials like alpaca, cashmere, or wool, you’ll absolutely want to dry clean them. While it might seem worthwhile to chance it with a hand-wash at home, with a price point like Jenni Kayne’s it’s in your best interest to treat your investment with the utmost care (and caution). Trust—this is coming from someone who has hand-washed an alpaca sweater before and shed tears over the shrunken, doll-size version she was left with.
