Enter the dainty summer sweater with an open knit pointelle that will be sure to keep you cool as the season heats up, while also offering a dose of color therapy. There’s a style that will appeal to everyone: There are cardi’s emblazoned with crystal buttons, lace collars, tiny flowers, and polka dots, even embroidered strawberries make a delightful appearance. Their fair share of decorative details are sure to make you smile. At the very least, these pretty pointelles will boost your mood.

Here, find 15 sweet summer sweaters you’ll want to wear all season long– inside and out.
