Stylish Crochet Dresses For Every Summer Occasion

But while our 9-to-5 typically doesn’t allow room for vacation-levels of relaxation, there’s one beachbum-loving material that effortlessly bridges both worlds and — if styled properly — can even be welcome in your 9 a.m. strategy meeting or for rooftop drinks: crochet. Namely, a crochet dress, which is endlessly versatile. Just take the spring/summer 2024 collections as an example. We saw crochet used to create everything from frothy, ballerina core minis (Bora Aksu and Susan Fang), to sexy slip dresses of leather (Roberto Cavalli) and silk (Alejandra Alonso Rojas); spooky, gothic bridal gowns (Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood) and sleek, sporty netting one-pieces (Tiffany Brown). It’s all about layering up (or down), accessorizing wisely (you don’t want to be getting caught on yourself all day), and shopping for true quality and craftsmanship (by definition, crochet cannot be made by a machine, only by hand).
