Knitwear can be perfect for the summer; loose linen knits enhance every beach outfit. This sweater is loose fitting so that you don’t overheat but with enough coverage to keep the breeze off. The delicate lace detail along one side creates a little visual interest but keeps the feel of the sweater casual and perfect for everyday summer wear.
