Knitwear in the summer? Absolutely! Chunky knit short-sleeved shirts are a chic statement against the heat with their generous holes and casual cuts.
See-through fabrics such as lace, organza or crochet are everywhere in fashion right now. The trend is also increasingly influencing men’s fashion. What sounds a little daring is actually easy to pull off in everyday life. The solution? Chunky knit short-sleeved shirts.
Knitwear for warm weather
Knitwear in summer?! This may not seem intuitive at first, but it’s a clever move. Because knitted doesn’t always mean warm and cosy. With the right technique – from lace patterns and mesh knitting to crochet looks – you can create coarse-meshed, lightweight fabrics. Not only do they show off some skin, they also provide a fresh breeze. This means that less heat builds up on the body.
With their relaxed charm, chunky short-sleeved shirts are perfect for summer. Patterned models with a crocheted look give off a playful vibe, while single-coloured knitted items are more elegant. This allows the trend to be adapted to different styles – from extravagant to subdued.

Layering or showing some skin
Depending on how big the stitches are and how much skin you want to reveal, you can wear the shirt without an undershirt. Or you could opt for a summery layered look and wear a tank top underneath. You can play around with colours and contrast to give your look more depth.
Like the look? Here are seven styles that offer an interesting alternative to summer classics such as linen shirts and cotton T-shirts.
