India, July 18 -- What's an easy breezy fashion trend that you are seeing everyone wear this season? It's crochet! It could be a bag, a bralette and even bikini strings. This cute textured fabric of yarn has taken over the wardrobes of fashion girlies and celebs alike. There's just so much to take inspiration from. Gearing up for an outing? Take a cue from actor Ananya Panday's loose-fitted, sleeveless crochet top. Casually stepping out for a shopping day? Actor Margot Robbie's chic crochet bag is perfect for storing your essentials. Heading to a party? Opt for a white knitted crochet maxi dress like Janhvi Kapoor. So why is it in trend right now? The answer is easy and simple, crochet is lightweight during the hot and humid days and looks every bit fashionable. Also, because labels like Chloe, Isabel Marant and Zimmermann's spring/summer 2025 collections showcased a considerable amount of crochet pieces. "Crochet is having a real moment right now, and it's beautiful to see how Gen Z and celebs are embracing it. Crochet clothes gave us a playful yet nostalgic nod to boho chic," says designer Shilpi Gupta, adding, "As a designer, I feel that each piece of crochet carries a human touch that can't be replicated by mass production." The recent revival of the boho aesthetic, which includes flowing silhouettes, earthy tones, and cultural embroidery, has also surged the popularity, gradually stepping away from a more maximalist approach. "Crochet has always been considered synonymous with the boho aesthetic, often making an appearance during Coachella. But it's not just the West - closer home, Bollywood is also catching up with the trend," adds Gupta.Celebs such as Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor have adopted it in their looks as well, slipping into crochet crop tops, bralettes with an Indian touch and knitted midi-dresses....
