I Never Once Thought About Knits for Summer—Now They're All I Wear
Trust me on this one.
All of a sudden, I've fallen in love with knits. I have to admit—knitted fabric was never among my summer wardrobe go-tos, maybe for obvious reasons. It's like I got bit by some fashion bug of sorts, but I'm not mad about it. Now, not only am I incorporating knit pieces into my wardrobe, I'm actively building outfits around them. The other day I was out enjoying the sun and stumbled upon the cutest crochet jacket from Mango. An inexpensive purchase, this jacket feels and looks luxe, a total win for me.
Beyond crochet—which isn't technically a knitted fabric, but for the sake of this story I'll consider it one—I'm super into knit tanks at the moment. Several have made their way into my “staples pile," since they're so easy to throw on with trousers, summer denim pants, shorts, slip skirts, or any summer skirt.
I've also been gravitating towards full knit sets. My absolute favorite in rotation: the Ulla Johnson Paulina Skirt and Koa top. You can find this set in black and also a lovely ivory (which I'm packing with me for every summer getaway). The black I wore in Lake Como last summer, and whatever you think about black in the summer, I loved the look and felt chic.
I also own the Ulla Johnson set in white. The top is cute with jeans.
In an effort to dress up properly when leaving the house (ciao, workout clothes for errands!) I like to throw on a knit tank with a summer skirt and a mule.
