The Trend I Want to Steal Right Now: Sexy Crochet

Heather Summerville on the next hot summer trend.

By Heather Summerville

Crochet has always appealed to my hippie tendencies: it's romantic, it's crafty, you get the idea. But I've never considered it entirely sexy, until now. Over the past two weeks, I've been spotting crochet-back dresses everywhere--on girls at restaurants, once on the subway, and even on street-style photographer The Cobra Snake's website (see photos below).



With their open, graphic designs and organic-feeling construction, these pieces have that wildly-sexy-without-trying thing going for them. But in all my obsessive searching for look-a-likes, I haven't come across the abundance of options I was expecting. So far I've found this almost-as-seductive tank from the eco-conscious line Covet. And a pretty racerback dress at Urban Outfitters. Any suggestions?
