Feel-Good, Fabulous Style: The Summer Crochet Trend

This season, one style perfectly captures the celebratory spirit of summer, the summer crochet trend. While you’ll be seeing it everywhere, for us, this is more than just a fleeting fashion moment. Crochet is a timeless craft, packed with personality and intricate, story-telling details that make a piece of clothing feel truly special. It’s all about unique textures and individual style. 

We're excited to see this wonderful craft getting a fresh new energy, which is why we’ve packed our collection with remarkable women’s crochet styles. Let’s dive in and find a piece you’ll adore for many summers to come.

For those looking to make a single, remarkable statement, the crochet dress is your answer. It’s the epitome of throw-on-and-go glamour that makes getting ready an absolute breeze. A summer crochet dress works beautifully as an elegant cover-up over items from our swimwear collection for a dash to the beach bar, but it looks just as fantastic dressed up with a pair of our wedge sandals for a balmy evening. It’s confidence and comfort all wrapped up in one gorgeous garment.

The real beauty of the summer crochet trend is its remarkable versatility. From a full, show-stopping crochet dress to a simple, charming top, you can weave this style into your wardrobe in a way that’s completely, unapologetically you.

A woman's crochet top is one of the easiest and most effective ways to bring this style into your everyday wardrobe. It’s the perfect partner for your favourite jeans or one of our floaty summer skirts, adding instant personality. For a laid-back daytime adventure, why not layer a crochet cardigan or waistcoat over a simple cami?

This creates a classic summer crochet outfit perfect for a trip to the coast or a casual garden get-together. The open weave of a crochet knit is also fantastic for playing with colour, imagine a vibrant cami peeking through from underneath!

One of the most fantastic things about crochet is how it can be styled for almost any summer occasion, helping you stand out from the crowd. For those sun-drenched days of music and magic, crochet is a festival-goer's best friend. Its breathable, comfortable nature oozes a free-spirited style that’s perfect for a day of dancing. Just imagine pairing a crochet waistcoat with your most trusted pair of denim shorts and some sturdy, stylish boots to complete a look that’s ready for anything.

But the magic of crochet doesn’t fade when the sun goes down. Think it can’t be formal? Think again! A beautifully made crochet dress or a sophisticated cardigan can be a wonderfully unique choice for a summer wedding or an elegant event. It’s all about how you style it. 

Have a browse of our occasionwear collection for inspiration. A fine-knit crochet cardigan draped over a simple dress is an understated yet remarkable statement, proving this timeless craft truly knows no bounds.

A standout crochet piece is one thing, but pairing it with the right companions is where the fun begins. Crochet's beautifully textured nature works wonderfully alongside simpler, smoother fabrics, creating a delightful contrast. Try matching your crochet top with lightweight trousers for an elegant, breezy silhouette perfect for warmer days.

And of course, no Joe Browns outfit is complete without those final, fabulous flourishes. Never underestimate the power of the right extras to take your look to the next level. The handcrafted feel of crochet works wonderfully with other natural materials and bold designs found in our full range of women's accessories. Think a statement necklace that peeks through the open knit, a colourful headscarf woven into your hair, or a stack of bracelets that jingle as you walk. These are the details that add another layer to your unique personality.
