Should you find yourself at all curious in testing the waters, there is another easy yet effective way to dip your toe into the trend: by way of the crochet top. Much like its closet cohort, the crochet skirt, these knit tops capture that festive summer feeling without going full on festival. In fact, crochet-in-the-city is our preferred way to sport the homespun hero.
Like Chloé, Zimmermann is another brand making the bohemian spirit its signature. Just take their matching crochet skirt set, for example. With details like a blue-and-white weave to shaggy fringe, it’s a must-have in any warm-weather wardrobe, whether you’re headed to the seaside or sticking to the city streets. Escvdo’s pant set offers up a similar one-and-done appeal. Just add a sleek black sandal, woven tote and you’re instantly styled. Other crochet tops, like those from Stella McCartney, & Other Stories, and Diotima, make for strong separates, worn best with tailored trousers or poplin midiskirts. (For a cool denim moment, try a Bermuda short or a baggy jean. Then, there’s Zara’s long-sleeve version, which doubles as a chic cover-up on beach days or Rixo’s multi-colored tank that’ll add a pop of color to any of your summer outfit ideas.
