Lightweight Layers I’m Loving (and Shopping) Right Now
While dresses and chic swimwear may steal the seasonal spotlight, don’t sleep on summer knits. Between cool mornings, over-air-conditioned interiors, and chilly Aspen nights, lightweight knitwear is a must-have for me this time of year.
I’ve swapped out my heavy cashmere for lighter layers – think Tuckernuck’s short-sleeve cashmere tees (a new MVP in my closet), oversized cardigans, and chunky cotton knits from La Ligne, Jenni Kayne, and Kule (the “Matey” style is a summer hero if there ever was one).
Does your knitwear need a refresh? Below, a shopping list of my favorites – each one perfect for layering now and wearing all season long.
LA LIGNE MARINA FINE STRIPE SWEATER
Lightweight and effortless, this stripe knit is a summer staple for crisp mornings and breezy beach nights. Layer now, live in it later.
SHOP
JENNI KAYNE FLYNN SWEATER
Jenni Kayne’s “Flynn” sweater is one of my most-worn knits – all year long! It’s the cashmere is so soft and super lightweight, making it ideal for layering without added bulk.
SHOP

This Kule sweater is a quiet hero piece—luxe cotton, timeless crewneck, and just the right weight for year-round styling. Bonus: it comes in over 10 different colors.

With a relaxed fit, this openweave cotton cardi is an ideal summer layering piece – not to mention, doubles as a chic beach coverup.

SHOP
FRANK & EILEEN MONTECITO CARDIGAN
With a relaxed fit, this cotton cardi is the ultimate summer layering piece. It’s the kind of knit you’ll want to keep on standby for sunset strolls or an overly aggressive AC.

Proof that cashmere isn’t just for cold weather. This lightweight, short-sleeve version is buttery soft, breathable, and endlessly wearable.
