The Case for Summer-Weight Knits

Sunglasses get lots of hype this time of year, but in our book, summer’s MVP (most versatile piece) is the beach sweater. Pair it with shorts, slip it over a bikini, or snuggle up in it by the bonfire: Whatever coast you’re summering on—whether you’re picnicking at Point Dume or catching a set at the Surf Lodge (find the full summer lineup here)—a chunky cotton knit is so essential, it’ll hardly see the inside of your closet.
