The 48-year-old music mogul explained his aversion to lambs’ wool means he has to spend a fortune stocking up on the very best cashmere jumpers.
Simon said: “I’ve got an allergy to lambs’ wool. My secret is that I buy rather expensive cashmere.
“In fact, if I find a cashmere jumper I can wear without getting itchy, I don’t just buy one, I buy five in five different colours.”
Simon’s extravagant shopping habits also extend to other areas of his wardrobe.
He added to the Daily Mail: “I’ve found buying five cashmere jumpers at a time has made life much easier, so when I go shopping I buy five of everything – five pairs of the same jeans or five pairs of the same shoes.”
To ensure he always looks his best in his luxurious clothes, the X Factor judge is careful not to indulge in calorific treats.
In fact, he is so conscious about staying in shape he hasn’t eaten a biscuit since he turned 40.
He said: “Once you get to 40, you really have to be careful about what you eat. Biscuits, cakes and chocolate are definitely off the menu.”
