Golden Breeze

There are summer cover-ups, and then there’s this. This one’s for those who want to swan about looking as if they’ve wandered straight out of a Saint Tropez daydream, even if they’re just padding down to their apartment pool for a cheeky spritz. This open-knit poncho is about as nonchalant as you can get - breezy, semi-sheer, and positively effortless to fling over the head after a hot-minute splash or a bit of deliberate sunbathing. The geometric crochet looks intricate, but the whole thing’s so light it’d practically float off on its own if a decent breeze caught it. Mid-length sleeves (well, more like glorified armholes masquerading as batwings) give you that angelic drape without risk of accidental exposure, and an asymmetrical hem keeps it interesting - no one’s ever going to call this boxy.

This is the sort of piece that doesn’t need much else; swimmers underneath, sunglasses up top, drink in hand (optional), vibes set firmly to high. With a cotton-acrylic blend that goes through the wash without any drama and doesn’t go saggy if you decide to wring it out on the line, you’ll be living in this all summer. Or winter - not here to judge your holiday plans.
