Waimari Under $150: Where Brazilian Craftsmanship Meets Effortless Luxury
Waimari is one of those Brazilian labels that earns its reputation quietly — through the tactile weight of its lace, the precision of a well-placed trim, the way a strapless top holds its structure without so much as a boning seam in sight. Founded with a deep reverence for Latin femininity and artisanal textile work, the brand has built a devoted following among women who understand that true luxury lives in the details, not the logo.
What makes this edit particularly compelling is what it proves: that Waimari's signature sensibility — delicate lacework, considered silhouettes, fabrics that photograph beautifully and feel even better — is fully accessible at under $150. At Lola Dré, we've pulled together the pieces that best represent the brand's DNA at this price point, from breezy strapless constructions to sheer tie-front tops that feel equally at home on a Copacabana terrace or a European rooftop dinner.
The Pieces Worth Knowing
Start with the Franca Cream Lace Trim Strapless Top — at $80, it's the most approachable entry point into Waimari's world, and one of the most wearable. The structured strapless silhouette is finished with the brand's signature lace trim detailing along the neckline, giving it a romantic edge that reads dressed-up without demanding a formal occasion. Pair it with wide-leg linen trousers for a resort lunch, or tuck it into a tailored midi skirt for an evening out.
The Amanecer White Lace Trim Crop Top operates in a similar spirit but with a more relaxed, sun-soaked attitude. The name itself — "amanecer" meaning dawn in Spanish — hints at the brand's Latin roots, and the piece delivers on that promise: clean white cotton with lace trim detailing that catches the light in the most effortless way. It's the kind of top that works over a bikini at the beach and then transitions, with the right styling, straight to cocktail hour.
For those drawn to texture over lace, the Diane Floral Sequin Tweed Cropped Top is Waimari at its most playful. Woven tweed with embedded floral sequin detailing is not a simple fabrication — it requires careful construction to keep the sequins anchored within the weave without distorting the drape. The result is a cropped top that carries real visual weight and works beautifully against solid-colour tailored shorts or a sleek column skirt for an evening occasion.
Sheer Confidence
Waimari's sheer pieces are where the brand's approach to femininity becomes most apparent — these are not see-through for the sake of it, but carefully layered and proportioned so that the sheer quality feels intentional and refined. The Toscana Sheer Blue Lace Tie Front Top and the Nerissa White Lace Short Sleeve Top both exemplify this. The Toscana's tie-front detail cinches softly at the waist, creating shape without structure, while the Nerissa's short-sleeve lace construction is the kind of piece that looks just as considered with straight-leg denim as it does with a floaty skirt.
This is precisely what Lola Dré looks for when curating a price-point edit — not pieces that feel like a compromise, but ones that represent a brand's point of view just as faithfully as its headline styles. Waimari's under-$150 offering does exactly that: it's an invitation into the brand's world of Brazilian-inflected, lace-detailed femininity, at a price that makes the introduction an easy one.
