As temperatures rise ( as they have been in the NYC area ), the idea of wearing clothing is a daunting task.

A comfortable crochet fabric feels like an in-between approach to wearing white dresses and swimwear. Even if crochet clothing may seem too boho for some, the crochet pattern perfectly captures summer’s easygoing vibe.

It has always been a vacation favorite – but it is not just for beachside escapes. It is easy to incorporate pieces into your summer wardrobe. 

Crochet Outfits

Slip into a pair of loose crochet drawstring shorts or trousers while lounging around at home or over a one-piece when heading to the beach.  If you are a minimalist at heart, pair with a simple white tee or tank. Let the piece be the star of the look.

Sleek crochet dresses are versatile enough to be worn for a night out or as a cover-up for the beach.

Recreate those tropical holiday feelings by slipping into a crochet dress.

Whether it be a crochet mini dress or maxi dress, choose soothing neutrals as they embrace an easy-to-wear color palette compared to the statement-making styles you’d often associate with crochet.

Many crochet dresses are versatile enough to wear if you are going out; if you plan to do so, opt for ones that look less like cover-ups for maximum coverage, while running around for dinner and drinks or heading to a summer bridal shower.

Wider stitches mean more visibility, meaning that the crochet fabrics are easily layered.

Layering with either a pair of matching underwear, the fabric allows you to show the items you’re wearing underneath in the most flattering ways.

Crochet can take on a sophisticated and modern silhouette, a minimalist-inspired dress.

Swap out your usual black dresses for a crochet dress. The dress is a head-to-toe instant explosion of texture and a masterclass in how to dress joyfully to make the most of summer.

Add a crossbody bag and sneakers for a summer in the city moment. 

Crochet Skirts

Summer isn’t summer unless you’re frolicking with a crochet skirt.

The crochet skirt makes a particularly joyful fashion statement in the summer.  While the crochet skirt has been gaining momentum—it has always been a vacation favorite— the boho aesthetic won’t be confined to the summer season only.

These intricate pieces don’t lean too heavily into bohemian or festival outfits, but rather they take on sophisticated and modern silhouettes.

There is simply no such thing as “too much” crochet.  Rock a crochet crop top with a matching skirt for easy, summer dressing.

A full look of crochet is the perfect choice when opting for a feminine, laidback, yet sophisticated look.

There is something special about crochet, adding a retro touch to whatever item it’s styled with. For the minimalist, you needn’t compromise your usual refined style.

Choose fine-knit crochet in neutral colors for a subtle nod to the trend.

Planning a getaway? Your vacation outfit starts with crochet pants.

They embody that lush summer feeling without going full-on tropical.

Crochet Tops

Knit tops capture that festive summer feeling without going full on festival.  

However, if you are into festival tops, a crochet piece would be the perfect place to start.

With details like a colorful weave to shaggy fringe, it’s a super rad addition to any warm-weather wardrobe, whether you’re headed to the seaside or sticking to the city streets.

Combat chilly, air-conditioned rooms with a crochet-knit sweater or a crochet cardigan.

For one-step dressing on weekends, slip on a white poplin skirt or dress, and finish off with loosely interlocked tops to help optimize full-breeze potential.
