Summer's Most Versatile Trend: The Crochet Dress Returns
Crochet isn’t just a moment, it’s a movement. Summer 2025 is celebrating texture, craftsmanship, and ease of wear. From runways to Instagram feeds, this nostalgic yet elevated style has found its way into every it-girl’s suitcase. If you're looking to build a wardrobe that feels intentional, breezy, and beautiful, look no further than this standout trend.
According to Kate Made, making your own clothes is a form of sustainable slow fashion. She says: “Crochet started trending because it has the same pull and attraction as thrifting does, which is also incredibly trendy amongst Generation Z.”
But you don’t have to go out and buy hooks to get that effortless, relaxed look. Crochet blends nostalgia with modern tailoring and gives you endless styling options, and at Casual Chic, it’s helping you build a summer wardrobe with soul.
Why Crochet?
The renewed love for crochet speaks to a deeper desire for pieces that are both stylish and soulful. There's something grounding about its artisanal texture—handwoven or designed to look that way—that contrasts beautifully with our fast-paced digital lives. And while crochet once lived strictly at the beach, today’s silhouettes are refined enough for gallery dates, garden parties, or a casual walk downtown.
The Standout Piece:
At Casual Chic Boutique, our top pick for the season is the Square Neck Sleeveless Crochet Midi Dress, which is available in orange, cream, and pink.
As with so many of our offerings, this article is stylish, breathable and effortlessly elegant. The airy weave keeps you cool even on sweltering days, and it’s giving European vacation energy without the transatlantic flight. Perfect for beach days, Sunday brunches, or anything that calls for "just threw this on" beauty.
Pair it with flat sandals and oversized sunnies for a daytime look, or dress it up with platform heels and sculptural jewelry for an evening vibe.
Pro tip: the orange version is practically begging for golden hour photos.
