When summer rolls around, I love bringing some crochet pieces into the rotation. It just feels so fun and beachy! It’s also a really great way to show some skin in a very subtle, sexy way. Plus, what better way to beat a hot flash than to feel the breeze on your skin?
I think the easiest way to wear this trend is to treat it like a polo or statement blouse. Just throw it on with your favorite jeans or trousers, slip into some sandals, and you’re ready to tackle the summer day. This Aqua short sleeve button down or this knit sweater t-shirt from Splendid are great options. The real showstopper is this camp shirt from Tuckernuck, complete with cute scalloped trim and a touch of green that really makes it stand out.
If you feel a little squeamish about wearing a crochet top, you can easily layer a sweater or cardigan over a tank top for a little more coverage. That’s exactly how this cream Mango cardigan is styled, and I think it looks so chic! You could go for a more dramatic duster option, like this Anthropologie one. I also love J.Crew’s lady jacket updated for summer in a pretty pointelle knit.
It’s a little bit trickier to pull off crochet pants or skirts without feeling like you have your whole butt out. Fear not! I’m here to walk you through it. You can always just toss them on over your bathing suit at the pool. But I get a bit of a thrill wearing a pair, like this fun nautical Aqua pair, with an extra-long white button down. It covers everything you want hidden, but you still get the texture and interest of the crochet.
