12 Of The Best Crochet Dresses For Summer

Knits aren’t just for winter. These crochet dresses are perfect as the temperature dials up too.

Where knitted wool dresses left off in spring, crochet cotton dresses have taken up the style mantle as we look towards summer. Expect the same relaxed and easy fit but with a sunshine feel. Wear them over your bikini on holiday and complete the look with beaded jewellery and chunky fisherman’s sandals for a modern boho luxe feel. Or opt for more close-knit styles (aka less see-through) with trainers and a denim jacket in the city. The choice is yours: go full-knit for a body-hugging silhouette or just a hint, with crochet panels or trim.

We’ve rounded up a dozen that we have our eye on right now, from designer investments to high-street hauls.
