Some of us have been talking in the comments section about this burgeoning “summer fashion vibe” that seems to incorporate a lot of adjacent nano-trends: sardines, crochet, jelly sandals, sunkissed hair, gingham. It feels like a European coastal summer, boho-adjacent. It all kind of goes together, but it’s difficult to subsume under one name. I am especially drawn to all the crochet pieces I’ve been seeing this season; it feels youthful and easy and beachy, even if I’m just heading to cocktails with girlfriends — as I was above, wearing Aligne! A Magpie reader wrote to let me know that this J. Crew Factory dress nails the vibe for less, and I also spotted this longer-length variation over at Varley in case you’re not loving the mini length.

My Favorite Crochet Top for Summer.
I wanted to spotlight this fabulous under-$50 crochet tank I bought from Gap. I absolutely love the fit and it comes in the perfect tomato red hue. I paired with these gauze pants (also Gap) and apologize for not getting a better pic! Will be styling again soon, probably with my favorite white summer skirt. (P.S.: Peep the best margarita ever — this is literally the only marg recipe you’ll ever need.)
