Trendwatch: Crochet Then vs. Now

Trendwatch: Crochet Then vs. Now

Once upon a time, crochet was all about homemade blankets, granny square vests, and free-spirited ‘70s festival looks. Fast forward to today, and it’s one of the hottest trends in fashion—sleek, modern, and effortlessly cool.

If you’re not riding the crochet craze yet, it’s time to get on board!

Then: The Vintage Crochet Vibe

Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, crochet was all about that carefree, hippy energy. Flowing maxi dresses, handmade halter tops, and open-weave vests were the uniform of the Woodstock generation.

The ‘90s brought a resurgence with crochet bucket hats, barely-there crop tops, and the ultimate beach babe aesthetic.

Now: Crochet, but Make It Chic

Today’s crochet is sleek, stylish, and designed to work everywhere—not just on a festival field.

Instead of purely handmade, overly boho pieces, modern crochet is structured, refined, and effortlessly wearable.

Here’s how it’s showing up in 2025:

Button Cardigans – Lightweight, breathable, and perfect for layering. Toss one over a simple cami and flared jeans or wear it over a sleek maxi dress to add texture and interest to your ensemble. 

✔ Cropped Tanks – Vintage charm meets modern edge. Pair with high-waisted denim or under a flowy kimono to add instant chic to your look.

Long-Sleeve Popovers – The perfect knit for transitioning seasons. Throw this statement piece over a basic bralette, and brace yourself for compliments galore!

Handbags – Forget basic totes—crochet bags are the ultimate sunny day accessory. Pair with jeans and dresses alike—a versatile crochet tote will get more mileage than your favorite pair of shoes.

✔ Hats – Sun protection and a major style moment? Yes, please. A crochet sun hat is the ultimate finishing touch to any outfit.

✔ Cover-Ups – Not just a poolside necessity, rock it over denim cutoffs and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this ultimate statement piece.
