Crochet Is Very Much Back: Summer Trend Alert 2025

There’s something undeniably sensual about crochet—the way it teases the eye, skimming the body with intricate patterns, revealing just enough while leaving the rest to the imagination. This summer, crochet isn’t just a nod to vintage—it’s a full-on fashion takeover.

From beachside strolls to late-night lounging, these woven wonders are stealing the spotlight. Here’s how to wear crochet this summer, styled the Angel After Dark way.

1. The Beach Dress That Does It All

Nothing says sun-kissed and carefree like a sheer crochet beach dress. Toss it over your bikini, pair with oversized sunglasses, and you’re ready for everything from poolside lounging to champagne brunch. Look for loose weaves that catch the breeze—and eyes.

2. The Crochet Chemise for Warm Nights In

Delicate. Dreamy. Barely there. A crochet chemise is the perfect mix of soft femininity and summer seduction. Wear it when the night is too hot for anything else—or layer it under a lightweight robe for a touch of mystery.

3. The Bodysuit That Hugs in All the Right Places

Yes, crochet can be body-hugging and bold. Choose a crochet bodysuit with a tighter weave that accentuates curves and plays with skin exposure. Pair it with denim cutoffs for day or nothing at all for after dark.

4. The Top & Skirt Set You’ll Live In

There’s something effortlessly flirty about a matching set, especially in crochet. A cropped top and coordinating mini skirt show off bronzed skin and feel like a vacation—even if you're still in the city. Just add gold hoops and a soft gloss.

5. The Must-Have: A Crochet Bag That Goes Everywhere

Soft, slouchy, and just a bit nostalgic, a crochet purse is your go-to accessory this season. Toss in your SPF, lipstick, and a spritz of perfume and go. From daytime markets to candlelit dinners, it carries more than just your essentials—it carries a mood.

Style Tip: Mix Textures, Not Just Trends

Crochet pairs beautifully with silk, satin, or lace. So don’t be afraid to layer a crochet top over your softest lingerie, or contrast it with leather sandals and bold gold jewelry. The magic of crochet is in its versatility—sweet by day, sultry by night.

Final Thought: Crochet Is No Longer Just Boho

Forget everything you thought you knew about crochet. This summer, it’s not just for festivals or your grandma’s knitting circle. It’s sheer, sculpted, sexy—and it’s everywhere. Whether you’re chasing waves or staying in, a crochet moment is always a good idea.

Stay cool, stay bold, and let your textures do the talking.
