Today we are focusing on Crochet Tops. Have you noticed how many there are in the stores and online now? There are some beautiful ones that add a touch of summer and fun to any outfit. When the weather is hot and humid, a crochet top can add style while keeping you cool. Sometimes, styling a crochet top can be tricky. Because of this, we are sharing a guide on how to wear crochet tops in different ways.
How To Wear A Crochet Top
Last year, we showcased a crochet top from Ann Taylor in a chocolate brown color, in the above photo. It looked great with white and blue denim, was bra friendly and worked perfectly when the weather was warming up. Are they still in style- based on how many we found, we say Yes! There are many price points and profiles to style for your summer looks. We are styling them with denim, skirts, shorts, dresses and swimsuits for you to check out.
Are Crochet Tops In Style
Crochet Tops and other clothing items, are having a moment and are in style. In addition to creating a unique look, these tops are incredibly comfortable. Perfect for wearing on warmer days because of their breathability and lightweight material. Looking for a new beach cover-up- a white crochet sweater and a pair of white wide leg linen pants will work with most swim suits. Also, a crochet cardigan is a great jacket alternative over a sleeveless dress.
What To Wear With A Crochet Top
Below we have chosen clothing items that we think work best with crochet tops. If you are considering adding this trend to your wardrobe, these ideas are for you. Scroll through and see if you find something you like. Click on any photo for more information and details.
Skirts
Dress skirts and casual skirts can both be styled with a crochet top. We included the Z Supply Skirt and Top that are both crochet items. For the casual look we included the Frank & Eileen DonnyBrook skirt in ecru. It’s a great basic to build an outfit around.
Jeans
Any type of jean and any color looks great with a crochet top. We are showcasing the Mango Catherin Culotte High-Rise Jean and the Madewell Ever Vintage Barrel Jean.
Shorts
We love the Varley Brand for stylish and comfy casual clothes. They have beautiful crochet knitwear to wear and it looks great paired with their Alder short. Madewell has a Bermuda 1997 Denim Short that we included in this category for you.
Dresses
Styling a dress with a crochet top adds interest to your outfit. If you have a basic dress, a crochet top adds detail and texture. A crochet cardigan draped over your shoulders is the perfect look to warm you up if the temperature cools off. The Mint Velvet Palm Print Satin Slip Dress and the Farm Rio Heli Leaves Button Front Linen Midi Dress are the perfect summer dresses- we think.
Swim Suits
For a warm and stylish beach look wear a crochet long sleeve pullover top and a wide leg linen beach pant over your swim suit. This look can take you from the beach or pool to lunch or cocktails!! We love these olive toned Gottex Ruched Suit and this Hutch Zenna Suit.
