Why Dua Lipa’s Crochet Dress Style Is Perfect For Holiday SZN

Whether you’re headed to the beach for the day, or a week-long coastal getaway, you’ll want a crochet dress on hand. Slip a knit dress over your favourite swimwear for an easy, breezy beach look that takes literally two seconds to pull together (slides, shades and SPF all non-negotiables). Look to everyday favourites like Subtitled for crochet dresses in different lengths and colours.

An invite to a summer wedding doubles as an invite to indulge in resortwear. Look to designers like Christopher Esber for knitted dresses and matching sets with intricate crochet detailing. Style back with your preferred party heels and minimalist gold jewellery for an elevated take on the trend.

Turn up the heat with a crochet mini layered over statement lingerie (or a slip if you’re after a little more coverage). Recreate Dua Lipa’s look from her night out in Melbourne with a glittering eye, colourful earrings and – if you’re game – matching gloves.

No matter how you choose to spend the day, a relaxed crochet dress meets the brief. Treat yourself to a more sustainable style you’ll re-wear again and again, and keep the rest of your look classic. Our pick? A white crochet dress, or if you're worried about food stains, a black or terracotta one by contemporary Australian label bassike is the perfect wear-again style.

With IRL festivals back on the agenda, it’s time to make up for all those killer outfit opportunities you might’ve missed. Anchor an airy crochet dress with a heavy-duty boot for a look that’s equal parts cute and comfy. Platforms? Lug soles? Knee high? Crochet plays nice with ‘em all.
