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.
