Tactile Textiles: Fashion's Crazy for Crochet
Years after boredom-provoked excursions into handicrafts and DIY, we're still entangled in crochet and other hobbies like it. Be it the folky colors and patterns, the meditative knitting process itself, the offline-ness of their overall aesthetic – crochet clothes have our hearts, irrespective of whether we make or just wear them.
The appreciation for this age-old technique is so wide-spread, it's hard to even get your hands on pieces that reimagine the skill within contemporary apparel before they're sold out – but worry not, we've got you.
That aside, these floods of lacy, racy needlework tops and bottoms for men also go to show that, not only are knits not exclusive to winter, but that guys, too, can and should enjoy a more whimsical, softer style.
So below, take a peek at many a way to play with crochet.
A Kind Of Guise Camp-Collar Crocheted Cotton Shirt
Easing you in, we have this olive green, textured short sleeve; is it a cardigan or a button up? Not sure, not important though either, as it'll dress up or down for sophisticated summer looks.
HARAGO White Chevron Shirt
This South Korean brand is very Baby Girl, and thus a more-is-more example of how to have fun with design, tactility, and silhouette of a knitted piece that isn't a sweater.
Le17Septembre Camp-Collar Striped Crocheted Cotton Shirt
Similarly, this long-sleeve's super fine stitching presents another facet of what a knit top can take shape as, with its slightly 70s collar and stripe print adding precious traits to really single it out. Spot on in terms of the two-piece-trend, it also comes with matching bottoms.
Casablanca Multicolor Crochet Tote
While we're gonna spare you the crochet bucket hats, we will, however, not let you leave without checking out this crochet tote. We love a big bag, as you know, and this one'd make a sweet sibling to your canvas or leather ones.
Wales Bonner Crochet-Panel Wide-Leg Jeans
Again, we won't bore you with what you already know or has already been hinted at – that being, in this case, crochet shorts. But we'd like to send you off knowing you've seen these, a pair of pants that incorporate crochet in a less obvious but certainly no less wearable way, wide-legged of course.
