Urban Wave Dress

This is the kind of dress that makes you want to text everyone, “Going to the beach!” even if you’re on a first-name basis with your local pool and mostly just want to feel a bit special at brunch. It’s all about that crochet - they’ve taken the humble knitting needle and given it a little nudge toward “elevated” but in a way that doesn’t make you roll your eyes. The fit is simple, sleeveless, with an easy scoop at the neck and a hemline made for showing off confidence - and maybe even your gym membership.

The top-to-bottom crochet knit is quite sheer. It’s intentionally so, which gives it endless versatility: pop a bikini underneath for beach-hopping or slip on something sleek for cocktails that start suspiciously early on Sundays. Despite its minimal look, it clings in just the right places, the subtle ribbing running down either side giving your shape some gentle flattery, and a little slit on one leg keeps things interesting when you cross them or make a dash for the next round.

It doesn’t need much fussing with accessories or shoes because there’s enough personality in how it’s constructed - think holiday hero meets city essential. Its wide straps let you move about comfortably whether you’re wearing it bare or as a layer and there’s just enough stretch to keep things close but not clingy. And if you end up somewhere that requires actual clothes - not just good intentions - slip on a denim jacket. Or don’t! Life’s for enjoying, after all.
