I’ve recently found myself drawn to the crochet sweater skirt from Ann Taylor, a surprising choice for summer attire. Despite my initial reservations, I have worn it multiple times while out with friends. Pairing it with black and cobalt blue accents and casual shoes like my Birkenstocks or Converse has been a refreshing style choice. Additionally, it can easily be dressed up with heels or nicer shoes, perhaps paired with a navy top.

The sweater skirt is currently available at Ann Taylor for $139 in both classic and petite sizes. Its popularity as a bestseller indicates that my appreciation for it is shared by many others.
