Summer is arguably the best season of the year due to the highly anticipated summer vacation, the excuse to consume more ice cream than necessary and the easily accessible tan. However, for fashionistas like me, the hot summer season makes it hard to dress in stylish outfits without breaking out into a sweat.
Luckily, I think I have found the answer to our prayers.
One material that will leave you cool and collected all summer long is crochet. Crochet is a beautifully intricate fabric created out of material like yarn or thread using a crochet—which is French for small hook. Due to crocheted material being made up of interlocking loops of fabric, the end product is very lightweight , allowing for breathing room and ventilation.
Designers have incorporated crochet into beautiful dresses, pants and skirts for this season, some great for a day at the beach and others for appropriate enough for a night out or a brunch with friends. Here are my top picks for crocheted clothes and accessories that will make you never want to wear anything else again this summer.
