I’m endlessly fascinated by all the trends that come back, and those that never go away. Most trends, I find, you can shop both new and vintage – which is a great thing as it leaves us with so many more options. (And price points!)
This month a trend I can’t stop thinking about is crochet. Crochet was a staple in the 1960s-70s, though as a homemade accent/staple you can find it as early as the 1920s and before. Yet? Trend forecasters are predicting that crochet will be HUGE from now 2021 (where you can already find crochet dresses, skirts, pants, swim wear and more) to about 2023.
What does that means for you?
If you love this trend (and if you don’t you don’t!) this is the time to invest! Buy the pieces you love, don’t feel guilty about spending a bit more on crochet pieces as they’ll be in style (and come back), and if you find a vintage crochet piece you love buy it! The most amazing thing about trends coming back in style is that you can pick and choose what exactly you love and buy accordingly.
What I love about crochet? It can be as subtle or as overt as you like. As casual or fancy. The first above picture is a dress I got from my grandma- she wore in the 1970s and the crochet shoulders always feel timeless. Now? I’m loving the crochet maxi dresses, the sweaters, the things that I know will last (and come back on trend again and again).
Isn’t it funny how the styles circle back to us? I would love to know your thoughts on crochet! Do you love it? Will you invest in it now that it’s back again? Let me know!
