White Crochet Bikini

What crochet is on swimwear

Crochet is a knitted construction — the fabric is worked in an open, hollow pattern, and the edge finishes as the scalloped trim. It reads as the hand finished texture on a swim cut, and it spans both swim pieces and cover ups in the pool.

The edit runs 9 styles, about $16 to $50 — the knitted hollow out top, the V neck maxi cover up, the bell sleeve wrap skirt set, the open knit thong tassel halter and the sequin crochet Brazilian.

Styling crochet swim

• Crochet reads as resort — pair it with a solid base and the knit stays the statement
• The cover up pieces layer over any set in the store, not just this edit
• For the sequin crochet, the surface carries the evening look; skip the extra hardware
• Off the beach, the V neck crochet piece works as a light layer over a top

Caring for crochet swimwear

• Hand rinse the crochet — the open weave traps sand and salt in the gaps
• Dry flat; the knitted panel drapes and creases if hung by one point
• Do not wring the hollow panels; squeeze the water out and let the set air dry
• Check the scalloped edge after each wash; the finished edge takes the wear first
