As we move into the warmer seasons, I'm ready to shop some lightweight items that I can use as extra layers during spring but which also hold their own during summer. As a fashion editor, my wardrobe is naturally brimming with cotton tees and ribbed vest tops, but I'm looking to elevate my capsule collection with an equally versatile yet interesting design.
Beloved by French women, you know spring has arrived in Paris when you see the city's fashionable dwellers plucking pointelle knitwear pieces from their wardrobes, and it's this classic and relaxed wardrobe basic that I'm shopping right now.
Pointelle is inspiring a host of Brit girls this season too, as Google searches for "pointelle knitwear" have surged over the past few days. Evolving from the coquette aesthetic that dominated over the winter months, the pointelle knitwear trend taps into similar cutesy energy through intricate detailing, form-fitting designs and girlish motifs including hearts and flowers.
From Dôen's puff-sleeve knitted top to Topshop's lightweight tee, there are plenty of pointelle pieces to shop right now, whatever your budget. Read on to discover our favourite pointelle knitwear items on the market.
