The best crochet dresses are no-brainer outfit solutions on a hot summer day. Comfortable and breathable, these garments are made by interlocking loops of yarn or thread, using a crochet hook. This technique is done by hand, allowing designers to create some truly unique pieces, that can be treasured for years to come. Since the process can be so intricate and laborious, today’s crochet dresses should be seen as investment pieces, focusing on the art, craft, and care they require, rather than a fleeting trend.
On the Spring 2022 runways, crochet made a statement in the form of super special statement dresses. A hand-crocheted white tank dress at Chloé, featuring a patchwork design of organic shapes, was styled with coordinating crochet accessories, including a knitted bag and slide sandals. At Jacquemus, there was a stunning long sleeve maxi dress, dripping in pearl bauble embellishments, and Staud also played with the technique, featuring lemon-shaped appliqués on a cool fish netted dress, with a simple one-piece swimsuit peeking through.
If you are not grabbing something right off the runway, there are plenty of contemporary options as well. Show a little leg with a range of minis like the halter dresses from Gimaguas to quirky and colorful ’60s shift shapes such as the ones from Farm Rio. Or play with proportion with a long-lined maxi that offers a bit of intrigue, due to the slightly see-through nature, like Cult Gaia and Savannah Morrow. Whatever your preference, the best crochet dresses will take you from poolside to evening cocktails in a flash, and everything else in between.
