Suave Summer Knits To Level Up Your Look

Whether you’re the hitting town or unwinding at home, we’ve compiled a list of knitted essentials to keep you looking effortlessly composed.

Before I begin, let me preface that we are talking summer knits, not summer sweaters, two words that should never be allowed in the same sentence. I know in this sweltering heat, the word knit probably makes you want to run back into your air-conditioned apartment till the end of time. But fear not because these knitted tops are some that are crotched, lightweight, and most importantly, breathable. So whether you’re hitting Chrystie Street for a night on the town or peacefully unwinding at home, we’ve compiled a list of essentials to thoroughly compliment any occasion while still remaining effortlessly sauve.

With the notable luxury fashion houses of Prada, Casablanca, and Maison Margiela weaving knits into their latest Spring Summer Collections, (see what I did there?) it’s safe to say that including an airy knitted top in your wardrobe is essential. Whether it’s crotched, mesh or a nice interplay of both, a solid knit top can soon become your ideal vanguard piece. So choose your fit, and embody your uniqueness because, after all, your highest self unveils when you stop limiting.
