If last summer whispered "quiet luxury," this one is singing a more tactile tune. And it's crocheted.
Long relegated to coastal grandmother fantasies and DIY Pinterest boards, crochet has undergone a major glow-up, emerging as Summer 2025’s most captivating texture. But don’t mistake this resurgence for nostalgia—it’s not your grandmother’s yarnwork. This season, designers are threading craftsmanship with modern sensuality, creating pieces that feel both artisanal and avant-garde.
From slouchy, open-weave dresses that suggest more than they show, to crochet pants and tops, fashion houses are giving this homespun technique the runway treatment. But the real power of crochet lies in its duality—it’s both breezy and bold, tactile yet minimal. The open knits are ideal for heatwave dressing, and the transparency trend dovetails seamlessly with its peekaboo charm. Pair a crochet tank with wide-leg linen trousers for downtown polish, or throw an oversized crochet button-up over a triangle bikini for a Riviera-ready look.
On the streets of Paris and the beaches of Tulum, the fashion set is already wrapped in handcrafted ease. Brands like Andreeva, Decolet the Label, and Peregrina are delivering laid-back luxury in tangled threads, and the demand for artisan-made pieces is at an all-time high.
And yes, the beauty of this trend is that it's as wearable as it is photogenic. Whether in minimalistic or with floral appliqués, crochet has slipped out of the craft closet and onto the global stage—one loop at a time. This summer, don’t just wear fashion. Weave it.
