The savior of spring and summer outfits that tend to get stuck in a rut!What is Summer Knitwear?

Summer knits are lightweight, breathable knits produced primarily for wear during the spring and summer seasons. Compared to the knitwear developed for the fall and winter seasons, summer knits are thinner and lighter, and have a crisp, cool feel to the skin. The most common materials used are linen, cotton, polyester, nylon, and Japanese paper, all of which have excellent breathability. Compared to wool, water-resistant fabrics are often used, and they are easy to wash at home.

GENTLEMAN PROJECTS

Summer knits come in a wide range of variations, from very lightweight types for midsummer to those with a good thickness for use in spring and early fall. From here, we will introduce the coordination of summer knitwear suitable for each season, divided into “early summer,” “mid-summer,” and “late summer.

How to wear summer knits in early summerZaku-knit knitwear, which is just right as a woven item, is a big hit!

Although the days are warm, the mornings and evenings still feel a little chilly in early summer. A summer knit that can be used as a lightweight outer garment is useful. Cardigans are the most popular type of knitwear that can be used as a woven coat. However, the problem with the high-gauge cardigans sold at mass merchandisers is that they look a little too formal for casual use. What we want to aim for is a zakked cardigan like the one worn below. The expressive knitted fabric of so-called “low gauge knitwear” adds a nice accent to your coordination.

A technique that is only possible with wrinkle-resistant knitsCool down in the warm daytime by wearing a summer knit over your shoulders

Summer knits are wrinkle-resistant and easy to carry around. In the early summer, when it’s just fine to wear a T-shirt by itself, it’s nice to wear a summer knit over your shoulders to keep cool. A summer knit is a great way to add a fresh accent to your outfit and give it a more summer-like seasonal feel.

Summer knitwear for 'midsummer'Look out for short-sleeved knits that look classy!

At a glance, it looks like a T-shirt. However, upon closer inspection, the texture of the fabric and the silhouette are different, giving the wearer a sense of adult elegance. Short-sleeved knitwear is useful during the summer season when T-shirts are often worn by themselves. There are two types of standard short-sleeved knitwear: “knit T-shirts” and “knit polos. This year’s mood is to wear both in a tight silhouette so that the cuffs fit around the arms. Like the fashionable Italian, we want to wear them smartly with beautiful slacks.

Monotone, autumn-winter mood

When the heat starts to settle down a bit, you’ll want to incorporate an autumn/winter mood into your outfit. Chic monotone tones and leather shoes on the feet give this summer knitwear outfit a calm, autumn-like feel. The long-sleeved knit polo with a zaku knit can be taken off and hung over the shoulder when it gets hot to adjust body temperature, or worn as an inner layer with a coat or outer layer for a fun twist.
