24 Stunning Crochet Pieces to Wear All Summer Long

A little white dress is a perennial warm-weather staple, but the attached crochet vest on this En Saison poplin number gives it an edge over similar styles. Wear it to work with a pair of loafers to combat the office AC.

This cheery design on this citron-colored midi is actually lined with cotton, so you can wear it out and about in the city as well as the seaside.

Leave it to Italian brand La DoubleJ to provide us with the perfect excuse to pay homage to retro Riviera style. Throw on this shift dress over your swim for a day at the beach or wear it to dinner with lace-up leather sandals.

Named for designer Haeni Kim’s grandma, Kitri’s Bunty dress is the ultimate balancing act between 90s minimalism and rainbow-colored maximalism.

Between the tie detailing on the shoulder straps and irregular stripes, all you need to complete your look with this crochet midi are a pair of strappy sandals and minimal jewelry.

Contrast trim adds the tiniest bit of intrigue—but this crewneck is still a layering basic through and through. Pack it in your carry-on bag as a stylish (and much more hygienic) alternative to airplane blankets.

Delicate blue stripes offer a minimalist take on traditional nautical dressing, making this short sleeve option an instant summer staple.

If you’re a more-is-more kind of dresser, Staud’s acid blue tank deserves a spot in your collection. Psychedelic granny squares have never looked better.

Chilly nights by the fire pit call for something cozier, like this knit cardigan. All you need are a pair of jeans and you’ll be good to go.

Consider this an elevated version of your go-to crop top. The scalloped style is definitely festival-ready: Try layering in some jewelry and wearing it with a sleek maxi skirt for an easy ensemble.

The warm-weather version of your favorite button-down, this top is all about high contrast and geometric prints. Pair it with a set of linen pants (and maybe even a bucket hat) to amp up the coastal look.

Crochet details can be found on footwear this season, too. They’ll add a boho-inspired touch to an otherwise simple style (like these mules) and as a nice little side benefit, won’t give you blisters because of the soft fabric.

If you’re not a heels person but need something a little fancier than a flat, Ulla Johnson’s tie-up flatforms are the best of both worlds. They give you some height with the jute footbed and the crochet stitching adds just a hint of pattern.

These slip-ons can take you from poolside to dinner. Plus, thanks to their molded footbed, they’re actually comfortable.

When you’re ready to hit the beach or pool, reach for a crochet swimsuit—it’ll even double as a playful top when you’re no longer near a body of water. L.A. All this floral one is missing is a breezy sarong to take you right to post-swim happy hour.

Mix and match your swimwear with a hipster bikini that features some crocheting at the hips. Play off the palette to create your pairing: Anything lilac, yellow, or rosy pink would match this pick.

Fresh off the brand’s Summer Swim 2023 runway, Zimmerman’s patchwork paisley bikini blends Italian lycra with delicate crochet detailing to expert effect.

It girl brand Frankies Bikinis has plenty of fun, Y2K-inspired options like this green checkered pick (which also comes in fuchsia pink, if you’re leaning into Barbiecore this summer).

If you prefer a more subtle approach to incorporating the trend into your wardrobe, try a crocheted bag. This one from Australian brand Gunes is actually made from old t-shirts, for a cool sustainable touch.

This chartreuse crossbody can be carried two ways: By the shoulder strap, for those errand-filled days with heavier cargo, or by the top handles, for when all you need is a bright accent piece.
