Style Edit: crochet pieces to take on vacation this summer

Admittedly, when I used to think of crochet, old-fashioned doilies often came to mind. I’ve owned a couple of crochet pieces over the years (a crop top & bikini), but the fabric has never made its way into my staple summer wardrobe - it always felt a bit too bohemian - until now. Perhaps because I hadn’t found a way to wear it that felt like me, or there just weren’t the options there are now; it has started cropping up in the summer collections of a few of my favourite brands in the past couple of years.

This Arket crochet halter neck top for example, is exactly how I will be wearing the fabric from now on - a simple style that can be worn over or tucked into pants and skirts. And now that I’ve found a way to wear it, I can see just how underrated it is and shouldn’t be, as it’s the perfect material for summer: providing coverage plus ventilation! Here are a few of my favourite crochet picks - I hope you like them!
