Midnight Mesh

There’s an unshakeable allure to a mesh cover-up that manages to be both effortless and absolutely stunning. That little flirtation of showing skin without barrelling into overexposed. No wonder this sleeveless wonder is having a real moment - the way it hovers between poolside ease and coastal café chic has everyone thinking summer. The design? Think vertical mesh stripes alternating with solid, knitted bands, so you get structure, comfort, and a breezy, see-through tease that nails the “oh, was I staring?” line with aplomb.

The neckline plunges with twin Vs front and back - that instant posture improvement trick - and every hem has a playful, wavy finish. Each piece is spun from lightweight polyester for all-day wearability. Stretchy, slightly sheer, easy to wash at home (win), and never mind if it ends up in the dryer after all those bottomless brunch mimosas. No one’s about the drama of ironing post-pool.

The loose silhouette is endlessly forgiving. And it lets go of any pretense about squeezing into anything too restrictive right after lunch. It’s very much “hello holiday” - whether you’re hiding questionable tan lines or doing some dramatic sunhat posing against whitewashed stone walls for a friend’s phone camera.

No two mesh stripes are exactly the same – there’s always something a bit unique about each one, just enough to make it feel yours alone. Stylish enough for beach hopping and forgiving enough for food truck adventures on sand dunes. And because life’s too short for second-guessing what to throw over bathers, this has become an Australian summer go-to faster than you can say “bubbly please”.
