Ondine - Openwork Pointelle Knit Top
Ondine - Openwork Pointelle Knit Top
An open-knit top that solves the problem of knitwear being unwearable in summer.
Knitwear is the easiest thing to style and the hardest to wear once the temperature climbs. Most summer tops give up the texture entirely and end up looking flat.
Why is this open-knit geometric summer top so popular?
- Genuinely breathable: The openwork stitch lets air pass straight through the fabric.
- Texture without weight: You keep the visual interest of knitwear at a fraction of the warmth.
- Easy layering: Works over a vest for coverage or on its own over swimwear.
- Holds its shape: A stable knit resists the stretching that ruins loose summer tops.
- Lowest price in the range: The most affordable way into the collection at under twenty pounds.
Ideal for:
Women who want summer clothing with some texture to it, holidaymakers looking for a beach cover-up that also works for dinner, and anyone who finds solid-woven tops too warm once the afternoon sun is up.
Is the knit see-through?
Yes, deliberately. It is an openwork stitch designed to be worn over a vest or swimwear.
Will it snag easily?
The yarn is stable, but as with any openwork knit, keep it away from jewellery with open clasps.
How does it wash?
Machine washable on a cool cycle. Dry flat rather than hanging to keep the hem straight.
