With summer approaching, you may just be lucky enough to be planning a holiday abroad over the next few months, which means some new holiday clothes are probably at the top of your wish list right now. And even if you’re not jetting off anywhere, faced with our first restriction-free summer for two years, some new summer-y clothing is definitely a must buy right now.
With that said, one particular summer trend has caught our eyes lately, and that’s summer knitwear. The trend is essentially knitwear reinvented in summery shapes – think crocheted tank tops, knitted sleeveless dresses and open-knit crop tops, for example.
If you think it’s a trend you can’t get on board with, think again. A knitted crop top goes perfectly with wide-leg linen trousers or high waisted denim shorts – the slightly longer kind we’re seeing everywhere this summer. Throw an open-knit dress over a slip for added modesty, or go for a knitted trousers and top co-ord for a chic, pulled together look.
Our summer knitwear picks start from £15 so there’s something for every budget, and come from all corners of the high street, from stalwart M&S and Next to Monki, & Other Stories and ASOS. Keep scrolling to shop the best summer knitwear available now…
