The Classic Summer Dress Trend French Women Swear By Every Year
French women have a deep understanding of the classics, and they rarely stray far from what works. Their commitment to certain key staples seems to only be growing stronger as time goes on, and this summer, I can't help but point out the pretty dress style they're bringing back once again. Behold the magic of the crochet dress. As the poster girl for French style, Jane Birkin and her many crochet looks from the '70s (including her iconic crochet wedding dress) are no doubt the main inspiration behind this 2023 trend.
Even though the '70s are having somewhat of a moment right now, French women throughout the decades have barely ventured away from the openwork knit style, and summer 2023 is no different. Now that summer is in full swing, our favorite stylish Parisians are breaking out the perennial dress and giving it a fresh spin for the present-day in zesty shades of tangerine and lemon and sultry cutout silhouettes. Up ahead, scroll through to shop the best crochet dresses right now and see how French women are wearing the classic style this summer.
A one-of-a-kind piece designed with ethically sourced materials and made in NYC.
I know this is meant to be a swim cover-up first and foremost, but how cool would it be as a "naked" dress?
I would show you the back, but the front deserves your full attention.
Don't sleep on Zara's chic sister brand, Massimo Dutti. There, you'll find a trove of elevated finds like this halter crochet dress that just screams quiet luxury.
Beige crochet is cool and all, but this lemon-hued number is simply on another level.
The mix of black and white tones here makes this feel so elevated.
Wear this French-designed number strapless or tie the strings around your neck for a halter silhouette.
My friend wore this as a beach cover-up last weekend, and I immediately peppered her with questions about where it was from. It just looks so good IRL.
