Editor’s Pick: Top Crochet Revival Trends & Must-Haves

Fueled by the mermaid-core craze and revival of the 80s trends, crochet is back in a big way in 2024 and we’re loving these cute pieces with boho vibes that have taken over the internet. Everyone is jumping on the crochet trend be it high-end designers, well-known brands, or homegrown apparel manufacturers. If all that comes to mind when someone says crochet is simple white stitched fabrics, don’t be mistaken. You can find several crochet products that feature delicate accents, chunky knits, and bright shades.

I love the crochet trend because it reflects the world’s move from fast-fashion and mass-produced garments to pieces that have a unique look, character, and personality. Crochet pieces are popping up all over the runways as well as in streetwear styles, and you should definitely get in on this trend. This trend is also not just about the one that is passing by, you can use and cherish crochet items for as long as you want as they have a timeless vibe and a carefree boho-chic appeal. Let’s dive right into the top crochet trends and my favourite products you should add to cart ASAP!

1. Dresses

From Selena Gomez’s rainbow crochet dress seen in the the Love On (2024) music video to the many celeb looks we saw for Coachella this year, crochet dresses are having a big moment. For a sleek beach or resort wear outfit, don’t miss out on the ONLY crochet dress. I cannot recommend this classic style enough! It can be paired with colourful bikinis or worn over trousers for the ultimate bold outfit. If you’re looking for a dressier option, get the top-rated LABEL REYYA dress that has a crochet bodice and straps that will be perfect for brunches or lunch dates.

2. Tops

From casual jeans and cargos to cute skirts and shorts, crochet tops are here to be your favourite this summer. Embrace the colourful and vibrant style seen across runways and on celebs with the multi-colour crop top that features a trendy V-neckline and shoulder traps. For a semi-formal look, opt for the Kazo crochet detailed top that adds a touch of drama while still being on the minimal side.

3. Ethnic Wear

I love it when Western trends meet Indian clothing and seeing the lace details on these kurta sets warms my heart. From the bell sleeves to the vintage scallop details, the Gajra Gang kurta set is perfect for daytime wedding ceremonies and garden parties. It is also available in 4 different colours to match your preferences and reviewers vouch for its quality and fit. The Black Scissor crochet lace Anarkali set is the answer to your bridesmaids’ haldi or mehendi outfit woes.

5. Swimsuits

The easy-going and carefree vibe of the bohemian aesthetic is captured in crochet swimwear and this IZF beach wear proves my point. It is the ultimate cover up that flatters your curves, is soft to the touch, and has the right ratio of see-through and coverage. If you’re attending a cocktail swim party and want a unique crochet swimsuit, you must grab the black monokini from dash and dot for a classy and polished look.

6. Hats

If you love bucket hats, you must try the crochet hat trend that allows you to enjoy the look of this popular head cover without overheating. We recommend the MIXT by Nykaa Fashion crochet hat as it also has embroidered flowers for the ultimate 90s bohemian style. I also love the unstructured look of the Twenty Dresses by Nykaa Fashion crochet hat.

7. Bags

With the focus on artisanal styles and sustainability, crochet bags for shopping are the next totes. As someone who loves colourful statement pieces, the Magic Needles crochet bag is already in my cart. It is sustainable, made using responsible production practices, and handmade by artisans – truly representing the crochet trend. If you need something more compact, check out the crochet shoulder bag from MIXT by Nykaa Fashion that comes in two cute colours – blue and purple – and is also produced responsibly.

Lightweight crochet jewellery adds an elegant touch and is especially perfect for the summer. Whether you’re pairing them with a simple crop top and jeans or a floral dress, crochet jewellery helps add a signature boho touch to your looks. The crochet detail earrings with shells from Blueberry reinvent the hoop design for a chic and unique look. As chokers are coming back in trend this year, crochet lace chokers like the one from Forever 21 are surely going to take over social media.
