How to style a crochet dress
A classic white crochet dress will be a staple in your wardrobe for pairing with trainers and sandals, and there has been a rise in striped crochet dresses for similar daytime looks. Sheer crochet styles are perfect for teaming with swimwear on holiday, and the knitted look is also hit during festival season, particularly with a pair of cowboy boots.
How I chose the best crochet dresses
- Variety: I've selected dresses in a range of styles, from crochet beach dresses to striped crochet maxi dresses, so there should be something to suit everyone.
- Price: Fashion doesn't need to break the bank, which is why I've chosen pieces with a variety of price points.
- Trusted brands: All the brands I've chosen are known and loved by the HELLO! Shopping Team. While I haven't tried on all of the products, the brands are some of our favourites, so the quality should be high.
