If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I fell, and hard, for Leset’s pointelle tees last year (you can get the look for a little less with this PerfectWhiteTee). I own multiples of them and adore them for layering beneath oversized knits. There’s something interesting about the texture and overall sweetness of the design — it can introduce contrast/tension to whatever you’re wearing, and also feels divine against the skin. I’ve been seeing a lot of pointelle this season, too, and have been stocking up on alternative styles and shapes. I’m especially excited about this Tuckernuck turtleneck and this Madewell scoopneck, both of which I ordered last week. A few other great pointelle finds for fall:
01. This cherry red cashmere cardi. Kill two birds with one stone — the pop of red trend and the pointelle! I like the idea of wearing this on its own (nothing beneath) with a pair of great jeans. I own the white Leset cardi (I truly went all in on Leset last fall – wearing mine above) and she’s fetching paired with light wash jeans and bare feet. You can get the look for less with this $34 steal.
02. This baby tee. I like the idea of pairing this with the trending utility pants, like the La Ligne Duntons, and a more sophisticated top layer — navy cashmere cardigan, oversized wool stripe sweater around the shoulders, maybe a riviere.
03. For casual daywear, I love these pointelle pants. I own the ones from Leset, but you can find similar from Donni and Gap. These are true loungewear to me, but I may have convinced myself to venture out with them if I pair with an oversized button-down, loafers, and a grown up bag…
04. Alternatives to my Leset crewneck: this Doen v-neck, the aforementioned Madewell scoop.
05. Alternatives to my Tuckernuck turtleneck: Doen, Tanya Taylor. I plan to wear this turtleneck with fall skirts.
On the intimates/loungewear front, pointelle is peak fall hygge to me. I can’t wait to get my hands on this pointelle set from Negative. Planning to pack for our trip to Italy as a post-excursion hotel room outfit. I love Negative because everything is comfortable but sexy! And how sweet are the pointelle bralettes from Zara and Free People? I love the idea of layering these beneath button-downs this fall/winter. Polkadot London has some very sweet pajamas in this material, too.
P.S. Home finds and buys for fall.
