With summer officially kicking off in a few weeks, crochet have invaded stores and are front and center. If you’re wondering how to wear crochet pieces in summer, look no more, I’m here to help you! Crochet pieces such as matching crochet sets, crochet dresses, crochet pants, and the like are usually worn on top of bathing suits or, nude or neutral-colored underwear to give the idea of a bathing suit as crochet pieces are see-through. One tip you can keep in mind is to keep it casual, the whole point of crochet pieces is to keep you relax and at ease during those hot summer months. You can also wear them with jeans or on a jacket on top of silk dress.
For instance, this crochet set from Mango is on the thicker side so you can get away with wearing it on a normal summer day and not necessarily because you’re going to the beach or the pool. It’s perfect for a day at the park, to take with you to your next summer getaway as it looks dressier than a traditional crochet cover-up. The shirt structure makes it dressier. You’ve seen crochet on the runway and not only big fashion houses are on board but also the ones that are more on the affordable side, enter Mango. It’s a fact that crochet knits go past beach and pool looks.
Another option, and the most common choice is to wear a crochet maxi skirt with a matching color swimsuit for the IT look this summer. If you are going for neutral tones, give colorful accessories a chance as these will elevate your look significantly. A one-piece swimsuit with a maxi crochet skirt is not just for a day at the beach but you can take this to dinner and a summer party. Just add starfish earrings, rattan statement earrings, shell earrings or keep it simple with the jewelry and add a pop of color with your shoes and bag. Crochet pants and oversized linen shirt is so summer too!
Let’s talk about rattan shoes. For the past 5 years or so, I’ve tried so many rattan mules, sandals, loafers, you name it. But unfortunately, all the ones I’ve tried on have been very uncomfortable to say the least! From high end rattan shoes to steals, so I was pleasantly surprised when I bumped into these Sam Edelman Reeta mules on the Nordstrom shoe sale rack, and they were perfect. I’m not going to lie, you’re not going to use these to walk around for hours but they are comfortable to walk for an hour or so, go to dinners, take on a trip, whatever that may be and they’ll be sure to spice up your summer looks.
