Summer Bliss

A sweater for sunny days might sound a bit off-beat, but this open-knit wonder begs to differ. With its playful stripes and light-as-a-feather feel, this one’s perfect for wearing over a bikini at the beach or popping on for those balmy, breezy evenings when you’re sipping rosé with your toes in the sand. The look? Big eyelet diamonds on repeat, each row separated by a different pop of colour. Not quite classic, not quite bohemian - it’s just uniquely fun with a little hint of mum-knitted-it nostalgia.

The fit is loose and slouchy in all the right places, thanks to drop shoulders and wide sleeves that are brilliant for showing off a stack of bangles (or hiding a slightly sunburnt wrist). The crew neckline is modest, while the hem skims the hips, so there’s still plenty of room to tuck into shorts or tie up at the waist if you want. Edged with the same cheery knit as the body, it’s seamless from neck to cuff - except it isn’t actually seamless, because we all know those never wear well. But you get what I mean.

Oh, and 100% acrylic means it dries quickly when you’ve been splashing about. Because nobody wants soggy sleeves next time they reach into their esky.
