When it comes to summer fashion, it’s all about combining practical picks with trending styles, and a crochet dress manages to check all the boxes. It’s lightweight and airy enough to keep you cool, whilst still giving you a chic, boho-inspired look that can be worn everywhere from the beach to your favourite festival with just a few styling tweaks.
Stripes are another major trend this summer, and this V by Very X Tara Maynard Stripe Pointelle Mini Crochet Dress, , manages to tick off every single box. The dress comes from Very’s collaboration with influencer Tara Mayanard, which is packed full of colourful and chic summer-ready buys, including brightly coloured co-ords and bold prints to tailored neutrals and wardrobe staples like linen trousers.
Very's striped crochet mini dress is perfect for summer (Very)The Pointelle Crochet Dress is a chic way of wearing the summer-ready trend, and has a 60s inspired silhouette, with a knee-length fit and long flared sleeves. Rather than a skin-tight, bodycon fit, the dress has a relaxed, slouchy style that skims over your figure whilst still showing off your shape.
You can stick with the oversized look for a low-key beachside look, or accessorise with a statement waistbelt to create a more defined silhouette that’s perfect for heading to the bar. The dress has a timeless striped pattern and an open-weave pointelle style knit, and it’s worth noting that the dress is unlined, so you can choose how to style it.
The dress has flared fluted sleeves (Very)It looks fab worn over a colourful bikini at the beach or poolside; just throw on a pair of sandals and grab your straw bag and you’re ready to go. However if you want to wear it for dinner or a day trip you can always team it with a slip dress underneath, like this iB-iP Women's Cotton Short Full Slip, , from Amazon.

Alternatively, wear it over a pair of denim shorts with a cropped vest and trainers as a cover-up that’s perfect for a quick trip sightseeing, or brave baring all with some neutral black underwear underneath. Don your favourite platforms and some statement jewellery to keep the 60s vibe going.
For festival season, you can just as easily team the dress with a pair of knee high wellies and a denim jacket as you can with some biker boots or trainers and a leather jacket. It's also lightweight enough to be crammed into a small backpack for easy travelling, making it the perfect last minute packing essenital
The dress is super easy to style for plenty of occasions (Very)If you prefer a longer hemline but don’t want to be too covered up, New Look’s Curves Black Chevron Crochet Beach Maxi Dress, , is a great alternative. It had a maxi length hemline that makes it more daytime appropriate, but balances out the silhouette with a sleeveless design.
It also features a similar tripped pattern with a flattering chevron twist, and although it’s also unlined it has a smaller, less open weave that makes it less see-through. The dress has gotten some rave reviews from shoppers, with one saying: “Absolutely thrilled with the dress. Really flattering on, glides over curves, perfect length. Of course is see-through but wore nude undies on holiday and would wear a slip back here and will wear again and again.”
