It's generally at this point in the season, more than halfway through, but with some way to go, that I begin to feel a little uninspired by my wardrobe. I've given my favourite pieces plenty of airtime, and my daily staples are by now feeling particularly worn in. With plenty of summer still left ahead, my wardrobe could do with a little bit of energising—and I've found just the item up to the job.
Spotting Elsa Hosk out and about this week, the model swapped out the billowy cotton skirts she's been reaching for all season for a chic matching set in a warm-weather-ready crochet finish, inspiring my late-summer rotation in the process.
With its intricate texture and thorough detailing, crochet instantly lends an elevated feel to even the breeziest of looks. And when worn styled as a matching set, it creates a complete outfit that feels thoughtful and chic without trying too hard.
Hosk’s version, in crisp white, is from her own label, Helsa, but the trend is catching on everywhere right now. H&M has plenty of affordable options, from pretty shorts sets to more structured skirt styles, while brands like Gap and Zimmermann are offering their own takes on the look.
Cooler than a swishy skirt and twice as impactful, a matching crochet set is the easiest way to breathe new life into your summer wardrobe. Read on to shop the best styles available now.
