This Spring/Summer 2021 Trend is Not Your Grandma's Crochet
Crochet is the perfect solution for adding color and texture to your summer wardrobe.
Spring/Summer 2021 fashion crowns crochet as the key trend, as seen at Fendi and Bottega Veneta. The colorful, hippy '70s-inspired fashion, perfect for holidays in Ibiza or Mykonos, is both sexy and eccentric. Popular for accessories, like hats, as well as for full looks, the homemade look of crochet brings a cozy touch. Thanks to the pandemic, we've seen a rise in handmade and DIY fashion, which has brought about this renewed interest in crochet.
Celebrities of the past like Cher and Melanie Griffiths sported the trend during its '70s heyday, and today, fashion figures like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and FKA Twigs have become fans.
From Harry Styles' patchwork knit sweater by JW Anderson to viral TikTok and YouTube tutorials, anyone can learn how to create the look. And if you're not feeling crafty, there are plenty of ready-made crochet styles to shop. See our favorite crochet looks from the runway:
