Pointelle: Summer's Must-Have Knitwear Trend
Pointelle, a lightweight cotton fabric with decorative holes and lacelike patterns, has become summer's reigning trend, endorsed by style icons like Zoë Kravitz, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo. The fabric's intricate stitching and romantic details—bows, florals, diamond motifs—make it versatile for various occasions. Vogue highlights five styling approaches: cool-girl inspo with Cou Cou Intimates camisole and Suzie Kondi shorts; day-to-night with a white pointelle midiskirt and Sara Cristina blouse; weekend uniform with Donni cropped pants; happy-hour with Dôen blouse and Reformation skirt; and casual Friday with Gap pointelle T-shirt and Bermuda shorts. Key pieces include accessories from The Row, Saint Laurent, Staud, Khaite, and Sandy Liang.
