The Fresh Summer Fabric to Wear on Weekends (Instead of Linen)
Besides our usual summer favourites of light linens, woven straw accessories, and quality swimwear, we’ve discovered a new collection that's made us fall back in love with '70s-inspired crochet. Australian label She Made Me, has reimagined the retro fabric in its new clothing collection (the brand is typically known for its crochet swimwear). Think: Sun-bleached pastels and neutral tones, vintage striped prints, and soft metallic maxis. It's the elevated version of crochet beachwear—pieces that you can actually wear from beach-to-bar, without feeling like you've still got one foot on the sand.
How will you style these pieces for summer? We're looking at a mini container bag, paired with wooden block heels, or strappy sandals to complete the look.
Keep scrolling to peep the new collection, and shop it just in time for summer.
