Crochet bikinis to live your best island girl life.

Crochet Bikini

During the 1970s, bikinis rose in popularity more than they ever had before. With it, the rise in crochet—well—everything. The two trends marry quite well to this day, with the crafty, chunky knit instantly giving you that boho beach vibe when you slip into a crochet bikini set. Crochet bikinis are big this season. How do you wear it? Style your crochet bikini with your favorite  sarong and slide sandals to ensure your beach style game is on point. And they are wearable by the water as they are out to dinner. Throw on a pair of linen pants or high waisted shorts to complete the vacation day look.

Pro Tip

😎

Fit is key when it comes to a crochet bikini set, as they often stretch less than spandex styles. That said, they certainly stay in place with more security when worn for the same reason.

Get your 1970s vibe on with your swimwear this summer by shopping the crafty crochet bikini trend in every silhouette under the sun.
