Keep your eye out for these crochet trends go make any look more au courant:
The Dress—A popular choice for summer soiree, the crocheted dress sequels from an ultra chic beach cover-up to a dressy evening look suitable for any affair.
Crochet on Top—A crocheted top paired with tailored pants adds pattern and texture to something otherwise perceived as classic. The handcrafted artistry is juxtaposed with the sharp tailoring and highlights the wearer’s appreciation of the unique.
Un Peu de Crochet—You name it from floppy style hats reminiscent of Carly Simon to Lon and linear gladiator sandals–the crochet accessory is this season’s must-have fashion accessory.
Crochet à la Plage—Remember handmade bikinis and one-pieces first seen on beachgoers in the Sixties and Seventies? The look is back in an ajar way. Even if what they reveal is only an illusion–it’s a tantalizing one at that.
It’s all in the Details—Whether a subtle flourish edging the sleeves of a tailored shirt or a curvy ruffle bordering the hem of a pencil skirt, the eye is drawn to contrast, and the result is true visual excitement.
The Revamped Cardigan—Two of the easiest ways to lend a chic, “on-trend” layering options are to throw a crocheted cardigan or kimono over just about anything.
Crochet Sustain—As sustainability has become a major focus of the fashion industry, crochet’s eco-friendly appeal has hastened the trend’s climb into the stratosphere.
The Bottom Line—It is possible to both look and feel good wearing this season’s hottest trend.
