I’m a big fan of mesh sweaters because they are a great way to cover up in a breezy manner. Alluring, but not exposed. They also look fab layered under toppers, and make a pretty good substitute for trendy big tees that often look too big and sloppy. 

They’ve been matched with jeans here, but they work with all sorts of casual and dressier pants. They will also work over pencil skirts and sheath dresses. Here are three super styles that come in a variety of colours. 

  1. Trouvé Metallic Mesh Sweater: This one has a subtle sheen and works particularly well semi-tucked. 
  2. Gap Mesh Sleeve Sweater: This style has more coverage with mesh sleeves instead of a mesh body. Size down if you prefer a less roomy fit. 
  3. Lucky Brand Macey Metallic Sweater: With larger holes, it’s the most breezy of the styles, and also has the most sheen. The high-low hemline adds structure to the silhouette. 

There is something about a mesh sweater that reads “easy elegance”, “relaxed polish” and “casual chic”. I don’t find them bohemian, although this type of open weave is often thought of in that way. Remember to untuck your camisole so that the sweater grins evenly from neck to hem.
