Unless you were born in the '60s, crochet clothing probably isn't a huge part of your wardrobe. In fact, you may only own one crochet item or none at all. We've seen the knitted fabric in swimsuits, crop tops, and dresses, though crochet has become a subtler embellishment too. You might see it on the hem of a sleeve or as an embroidered pattern on a dress. Either way, crochet hasn't completely disappeared from designers' radars. As proof, we found 15 cute and stylish pieces you can wear right now for Summer. They're definitely not the items you'd find at Grandma's garage sale.
