Nothing can dress up or warm up a sundress like a cardigan. For a night out or the office, this
button-front knit cardigan features ladder and chevron lacework. With three-quarter-length sleeves and a cropped length, this cardi is cute and breezy atop a tank and shorts or a LBD. This will become your go-to warm-weather essential.
Early or late summer evenings can often be chilly when transitioning from spring to summer or summer to fall. Keep cool and stylish with a
ladder-lace cowl. This short infinity scarf looks lovely with a tank and maxi skirt and omits the typical chunkiness of an outfit topped with a winter scarf. If you love effortless layering all year round, this cowl will be your go-to accessory season after season.
An alternative to a cowl is an open ombre
ladder-lace scarf. In summery pastel colors, this scarf will elevate your summer fashion game. Wear it loosely around your neck on a breezy night, or don it as a lightweight shawl over a strapless dress or top. Plus, the ombre effect looks pretty and punchy all at once.

sleeveless ladder-lace shell is perfect for warm temperatures and style genius. It will go with anything, from black ponte pants to denim cutoffs. Wear for work or for play, so get knitting right away.
