Today our Trend Watch: vintage crochet
the styleminr concept comes from my love of original style and my lifelong fashion commitment to scouring the globe for vintage pieces that speak to me. These are vintage clothing gems that have been mined to inspire.
Vintage crochet has been a comeback for the past few seasons and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. There are plenty of ways to wear vintage crochet today. I'm particularly drawn to vintage crochet because it has such an interesting history. Crochet was originally created as a way to make lace — guipure lace and other delicate fabrics. The popularity of crochet declined in the early 20th century but made a resurgence in the 1970s to the hippie movement (think macramé). Today, there are all sorts of different takes on vintage crochet, from modern interpretations of classic designs to one-of-a-kind pieces.
Vintage crochet has a unique charm that adds colour and beauty to any wardrobe. This year, the on-trend effortless chic style is perfect for those who want to look great without trying too hard. One way to achieve this is by adding vintage clothing or accessories to your closet.
"Vintage Crochet Fashion: 7 Picks for Effortlessly Chic Style" Here are our top vintage crochet pieces to make stylish outfits with vintage crochet clothing and accessories…my 7 picks for effortlessly chic on-trend outfits for spring/summer 2023 for the bourgeoisie Boheme
- Outfit 1: the first look is our Vintage crochet top which totally delivers on-trend. The MAUVE pastel colour and Black pearl beading work when playing with BEIGE oversized cargos. Don’t be shy to try layering it with a multitude of metal necklaces; a metal-heeled stiletto with balance the softness of the pastel with its toughness. Chic.
- Outfit 2: vintage crochet dress look. Here I was tempted to make this look quite simple and done -: a white long-sleeved vintage crochet lace mini dress with ballet flats will satisfy our call for the balletcore trend. Instead, we’re giving you a one-of-a-kind Vintage Marni Crochet lace dress in BLACK. It's a knockout for anyone really. Pair it with a simple BEIGE vintage London Fog coat and you're done...On your feet try these vintage gladiator sandals. They’re chunky and open-toe. Not great for rain…but who’s checking the forecast?
- Outfit 3: Bohemian vintage crochet Midi length coat look. Need I say more? This goes with EVERYTHING boho. It’s SJP on SATC streaming on Netflix easily (though don’t quote me on that)...
- outfit 4: vintage crochet jacket look– here I’m giving you vintage elegance. This crochet is a form of Guipure lace. Try the outfit with an on-trend sheer bodycon top below and a vintage high-waisted pant and vintage leather ankle boots to keep it cool.
- outfit 5- vintage crochet swimwear outfit– For those who want to take their vintage crochet obsession up a notch? Ours is a vintage crochet tankini to make you feel pretty and sophisticated while hanging out at the beach. To lounge poolside for lunch pair it with an oversized menswear white shirt and an upcycled denim skirt a pair of gold hoop earrings and a monogrammed vintage scarf on your head. For a night out with cocktails try these vintage studded clogs; they’ll complete the look, giving it some cool girl attitude.
- outfit 6: vintage crochet cardigan outfit. Try this trick: when you have a vintage crochet piece we run the risk of putting together a look that is too sweet and too literal.. Instead, wrap it at the front and tucked all into a vintage leather and suede skirt, maybe a little bit of lingerie and you’ll have a sexy decolletage.OR try an IVORY-colored tapered parachute pant. With an open toe, color NATURAL strappy flats can work. Or for color? It’s a good opportunity to go with the pastel again. I like MINT for flats or kitten heels..
- Outfit 7 - vintage crochet shawl outfit. This look is very daring, but cool as well. Effortlessly using an ARMY GREEN color dress – a trend-worthy go-to color for UTILITY – the NEON Greens, Yellows and Pinks on this vintage shawl simply shine. A basic NEUTRAL bag will do. This vintage accessory is the only statement piece, the chic piece you'll need.
To sum it up, Vintage crochet is making a comeback in the world of women's fashion, and for good reason. The unique beauty and charm it adds to any outfit cannot be denied. With their bold colours, beautiful silhouettes, unique vintage textures and feminine aesthetic, one-of-a-kind crochet pieces are the perfect staples to have in your closet.
