Recently, I've spotted a fresh top trend rippling through the wardrobes of those I look to for style inspiration. More elevated than your basic tee or tank, this summer, celebrities and fashion people have been turning to the crochet-top trend to elevate their looks.
Created using a design technique that involves interlocking loops of fabric, crocheting works to create a knit with a distinctive pattern, resulting in an open-type weave that's perfect for wearing on balmy summer days. Often spotted throughout the warmer months in the form of see-through crochet dresses layered over bikinis, this season, the design has taken on an everyday guise, with the crochet top officially taking off as a need-to-know trend.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears The Row's Christa crocheted cotton top ($4500).
Although I'm more used to seeing the trend styled in a casual or beach setting, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley recently wore her green-and-white crochet top from The Row with wide-leg trousers and black sandals, proving that the trend can look extremely elegant when styled thoughtfully.
Typically, the crochet-top trend can be found in a myriad of colors and cuts—including neatly fitted vest tops, halter necks, and long-sleeve designs.
A fresh-feeling staple in the wardrobe rotation of the most stylish people I follow, I've noticed the trend crop up on my feed countless times over the past few weeks. To get the styling inspiration flowing, read on to discover how fashion people are wearing the crochet top trend right now, then scroll on to find our edit of the best designs to shop this season.
