Top 5 Summer 2023 Fashion & Crochet Inspirations
What's truly so incredible about Summer fashion is that you can seamlessly transition into it following your Spring looks. It's the perfect opportunity to change up your style to match with the changing of the season & there are tons of exciting ideas to experiment with incorporating them into crochet designs as well. The exciting part is applying your own personality to new concepts for a visual & handmade refresh.
These Are My Top 5 Summer 2023 Fashion Inspirations!
DENIM TOPS
Surprise! The denim revolution is still coming in strong & denim tops can be worn in many different ways. Sometimes, I'll wear a nice chambray shirt that I'll tie up or I'll go with a denim vest which opens up layering opportunities. My Dream Duos Denim creations reimagine denim tops with flowy crocheted flutter sleeves, crocheted tops with denim sleeves, & more. Denim is truly versatility exemplified & I love altering them in a way that exhibits my admiration for the craft world.
BODYSUITS
Bodysuits help you create that perfect silhouette that's super clean. I like wearing them with a pair of jeans & keeping the look casually chic, or changing it up a little by layering the look. Throwing on a loose-fitting spring jacket over it or a denim jacket gives it that effortless contrast. Currently, I am experimenting adding Crochet into the bodysuit style, with a few ideas on how it can be incorporated in a fresh new way. Truly hoping the designs come out how I imagine it as well.
ALL THINGS CARGO
The utility inspiration that is within cargo pants as well as skirts, truly prove that you can be comfortable & stylish which is always my go to.. They're loose-fitting & the extra pockets are aesthetically utilitarian & practically useful. They can be worn in a laidback style with a simple tee, or you can do it up 90s style with a cropped top that's fun & balances out the outfit. Entirely looking into bringing this style more into the Crochet world, with using notions like parachute buckles, extra pockets for dimension for carrying crochet hooks of course!
BALLET FLATS
Flats are beautifully simple, but they are so effective & can add a lot to an outfit. For dressier looks, you can wear modest flats to bring it back down to earth or wear dressier flats to give a casual outfit more flare. Metallic flats are perfect for the latter look to increase the style factor dramatically. Looking forward to adding Crochet set upon Footwear, with ribbons or appliques, the handmade possibilities are excitingly numerous.
MINI BABYDOLL DRESSES
Mini dresses were made for the Summer. These are often standalone garments, but you can still find ways to be creative with them. Experimenting with various sleeve lengths can give a mini-dress a whole new vibe, & accessories elevate the outfit. Pairing a mini-dress with a matching bag or adorning your arms with eclectic bracelets can turn a straightforward dress into something spectacular. Currently, going through a puffed out crochet babydoll creative phase, where all I want to do is create them. Which is a wonderful state to be in, where inspiration strikes & influences you in such a strong way.
Beyond elated to experiment Creatively with these Summer inspirations & allow them to take me on a Journey of intermixing Fashion with the adoration of Crochet.
