Ethereal Lace

Crochet’s had a bit of a glow-up lately - all those daggy, hand-knitted, ‘70s vests have been swapped out for ethereal, intricate pieces made with actual technical prowess, and it’s about time. This cover-up gets it. The ultra-fine mesh lace shows off a whole thesis’ worth of different stitches and motifs - from the smaller netting to the larger floral-inspired patterns and geometric cutouts - it’s giving wholesome cottagecore meets Ibiza beach club. And yes, there are double spaghetti straps. Less is more.

Semi-sheer but never OTT, this is one of those pieces that’ll have you diving (face first) into your holiday wardrobe as soon as you get back - even when the weather isn’t on your side. Try layering it over a bikini by the pool or style it up with a mini slip dress and chunky sandals if you’re heading straight to the bar from the beach.

Oh, and if you're thinking about the hem - don’t even get me started. That uneven, scalloped look? It’s highly covetable and shockingly flattering at the same time. And while they say you can't beat a classic, this is one of those styles that proves them all wrong.
