From mesh tops to delicate threadwork dresses, this summer’s knits are skipping the picnic blanket cliché and giving heatwave romance in all the right textures
Forget cardigans. This summer’s knits are sheer, slinky, and legally require SPF. The crochet revival has gone full coastal, turning beachwear into everyday wear, with just enough sass to raise eyebrows at brunch. It’s a season of open weaves, delicate appliqués, and stitched silhouettes that leave nothing (and everything) to the imagination. Whether you’re poolside on Egypt's North Coast or at a rooftop party in Marbella, there’s a thread for every version of your summer alter ego.
Daisy Crochet Dress White and Yellow | Oceanus
Lightweight, sun-soaked, and easy to throw on. With soft white crochet over a yellow base, this one’s made for barefoot beach walks and iced coffee stops on the way home.
Avaris Jumpsuit | Amina Galal
A full crochet jumpsuit that doesn’t play it safe. Striped in sun-faded shades of mint and clay, with an open back and oversized tie, it’s equal parts craft and attitude.
Crochet Fishnet Shawl | RAFA
Covers nothing, completes everything. This handmade cotton shawl won’t keep you warm, but it will pull your whole look together without even trying.
IBIZA Beach Dress in Sequin Mesh | COCOBELLE
Low back, high shimmer. This sheer mesh moment comes with a gold seashell belt and a built-in RSVP to every party from Sahel to Mykonos. Effortless? Maybe. Unforgettable? Definitely.
Sardine Chain Bag | Bottega Veneta
Crochet, but make it sculptural. This raffia mini from Bottega pairs soft texture with a statement metallic handle and a braided chain strap, like a beach bag that quit its day job and now only goes to gallery openings.
Kiwi Top in Green | Be Indie
Because dressing like a kiwi is surprisingly hot. Crocheted in green with wooden bead fringe, it’s tied up, backless, and not shy about it.
Cotton miniskirt | Miu Miu
Not too precious, not too plain. With its soft texture and crisp shape, this skirt does the whole effort-meets-attitude thing Miu Miu does best.
Bondi II | ZYNE
Delicate but grounded. Handwoven in raffia, these slingback flats bring just the right touch of texture to your summer look—equal parts barefoot energy and polished finish.
1969 Micro-Bag in Sequin Mesh | COCOBELLE
Small, sparkly, and just enough. This sequin mesh mini fits your phone, your gloss, and your mood for the night. Anything else is kind of extra anyway.
Rouge Knit Set | BAZIC
Bright, flirty, and made for warm nights out. With a frilled mini and a cropped knit vest, this set hits that sweet spot between playful and just a little bit bold.
Askala Sequin Crochet Dress | Retrofête
Intricate, striking, and impossible to miss. The Askala dress stuns in turquoise sequin crochet, with a one-shoulder cut and high slit that bring just the right edge to summer nights.
Golden Glaze Set | The Hoye
A halter top and matching skirt, hand-crocheted in warm yellow with glossy sequins stitched throughout. Subtle sparkle, easy shape—summer dressing done right.
Flores Dress | Rat & Boa
Ivory crochet with scattered floral detail, short sleeves, and a soft V-neckline. The Flores dress is light, sheer, and quietly romantic—made for warm days and slow, pretty moments.
Flower Crochet Earrings | Suna The Label
Cute, light, and way easier than going full crochet. Just enough to play the part without fully committing.
Summer in Bloom Crochet Top | Suna the Label
Crocheted florals, a tie-back halter, and the kind of energy that makes everything else in your suitcase feel boring.
Murex Gold Straw Box Clutch | Sarah’s Bag
Straw texture, gold shell clasp, sharp shape. The perfect add-on for a night out with friends.
