If you’re looking for a luxe summer style at a reasonable price, I’ve found the best of both worlds on Amazon.
I'm talking everything from classic summer t-shirt dresses to cute cardigans, elevated summer tanks to silk blend event-ready tops, all from affordable brand Arach&Cloz.
I've created a list of seven lightweight knits I think you'll love, and prices start at just $14.99.
Why I recommend including a summer knit in your wardrobe
It’s a common misconception that knits are only for colder weather but I can promise you a great summer knit will be your new best friend all season, and well into fall, too.
Breezy and practical, lightweight knits bring versatility to your wardrobe no matter what the weather. You'll find yourself reaching for them on chillier nights and mornings, or if you're living or vacationing in a cold region this summer. And they're definitely a lifesaver when you’re in an air conditioned office, or while you're at the grocery store. (I’m talking to you, frozen food section.)
I love summer knits in pastel tones, which can instantly add some interest to a more basic outfit like a white t-shirt and linen trousers, and can easily be dressed up or down. I'm also a big fan of neutrals - yes, even black! - which are a great option too, as they easily transition to fall.

Editor-approved Arach&Cloz picks on Amazon
Here are my Arach&Cloz favorites, which I've selected because they'd fit into my own wardrobe. Basically, the knits I've chosen will keep you a bit covered without feeling heavy, causing you to overheat or clashing with your summer dresses or shorts. And because they're lightweight, they'll be easy to pack in your carry-on or summer tote.
1/7
An elevated summer tank
- Amazon Shoppers' Rating: 4.7 stars
- Sizes: XS-XXL
- 20+ colors available
Editor's note:
"Swap out your casual tank top for these more elevated looks - they're moisture-wicking and odor-resistant, and come in so many colors. The perfect base item to build your summer look."
2/7
An easy to wear t-shirt dress
- Amazon Shoppers' Rating: 4.3 stars
- Sizes: S to XXL
- 5 colors available
Editor’s note:
“A t-shirt dress is one of my favorite summer wardrobe staples - you can throw it on with some sneakers and a crossbody, or cinch the waist with a belt for a more polished look. Another way to style is with a belt bag and sandals, my go-to vacation outfit."
3/7
A short-sleeved cardigan

- Sizes: S-XXL
- 10+ colors available
Editor’s note:
“A short-sleeved cardigan is so handy - wear it with a tank top and you'll still stay cool but have a bit more coverage for your upper arms. It comes in so many hues but I have to admit I love the pastels, especially the yellow which is a hot trend this season."
4/7
A silk blend vacation top

- Sizes: XS-XXL
- 10 colors available
Editor's note:
"Made from a soft Lyocell-Silk Blend, and featuring built-in gripper strips along the interior bust, this strapless look is figure-skimming but not tight. I can see it as a great as a 'going out top' (yes they're back!), a vacation basic or layering piece. Over 200 have sold in the past month, and shoppers say it's 'much nicer than the cotton spandex tops' and 'amazing quality'."
5/7
A wear-with-anything sleeveless V-neck

- Sizes: S-XXL
- 9 colors available
Editor’s note:
“It's the knit tank you can wear with anything! In fact, while it's seen here in the quiet luxury shade Coffee, I wouldn't be surprised if you're tempted to buy more than one color. Shoppers say this look is 'perfect for hot weather'. One reviewer enthused: 'Love this sweater! It is so soft, well made, and looks lovely.' In fact, that customer ended up ordering a second tank in black!"
6/7
A classic long-sleeved cardigan
© Arach&Cloz- Amazon Shoppers' Rating: 4.4 stars
- Sizes: XS-XXL
- 18 colors available
Editor's note:
"This lightweight knit is timeless and goes with pretty much anything, from a floral summer dress to jeans. I'd lean into the '90s vibe, though, and team it with jelly sandals, sneakers in the same color or ballet flats."
7/7
A classic casual summer top
© Arach&Cloz- Amazon Shoppers' Rating: 4.6 stars
- Sizes: XS-XXL
- 40+ colors available
Editor's note:
"This thin wool-blend t-shirt is a classic crew neck that can easily replace your cotton tees for a chic look during chillier days or for the office. And there are dozens of colors to choose from, from ivory to classic stripes, so there's definitely one that will fit into your wardrobe."
It's a great time to grab an Arach&Cloz summer knit - and the best part is they'll take you right into fall.
