“Crochet dresses are back.” That was the observation made by my boyfriend on a recent beach vacation. My boyfriend, a design professional with an eye for fashion (jealous?), was right. Everywhere we went, our fellow vacationers were decked out in the handwoven garment, from open-weave swimsuit coverups to close-knit lacy florals.
Crochet isn’t limited to the beach. The summery style is all over the runways, the red carpet, TikTok and even the set of “White Lotus.”
It makes sense. Equal parts boho and breezy, the woven summer staple is the fashion equivalent of a sunny day. Crochet is endlessly versatile, transitioning seamlessly from a beachside cabana to a coffee shop to after-work drinks — if layered and styled strategically.
Looking to nail this beach bum-beloved summer trend? Ahead, we’ve shared our favorite crochet dresses fit for the beach, brunch and beyond.

Crochet cover-ups are the unofficial uniform of beach getaways. Lightweight and often sheer, these breezy beauties are designed to be worn over swimsuits. Don’t have plans to visit the beach just yet? Layer one of these over a slip for a casual look you can rock anywhere.
