Crochet is synonymous with summer. Full stop. The technique involves using a hooked needle and a single thread to create interlocked looped stitches. Which naturally leaves a little breathing room, allowing for air circulation that's vital this time of year. Crochet is almost always trending, but we're currently not feeling wearing outfits completely constructed of the craft. We're in a crochet footwear mood.
Now you're probably thinking we're boxing ourselves in since that's a pretty specific window. There's actually a lot of variety. We're talking high heels, slides, espadrilles (OK, you might've expected that one), ballet flats, mules, Mary Janes and even thong sandals. There's also a great mix of designer and more affordable options. If you're really looking to make an impression from the ground up, pick up Magda Butrym's slingbacks. Simone Rocha's precious ballerina flats come with silver bell charms. Alaïa made a crochet edition of its coveted ballet flats, while both Gucci and Miu Miu took a more sporty route a la Teva with technical sandals. Chloe also has a double play with dusty rose espadrilles and sleek slides. Valentino Garavani's offering satisfies this summer's thong requirement.
Zara and Mango both have crochet ballet flats. Zara's are accented with beads. Mango's boast a ribbon to wrap around your ankles. Reformation's Marion Flat Sandal is a more streamlined silhouette. Then there's Sam Edelman to feed your Carrie Bradshaw-like Mary Jane obsession with a mesh set.
