Crochet is having a serious summer glow-up—and we are so here for it. Once reserved for your nan’s throws and winter knits, this open-weave, ultra-airy fabric has officially claimed its spot as the season’s hottest trend.
From dreamy beach cover-ups to glam night-out numbers, crochet is dominating both festival fields and rooftop bars. It’s lightweight, breathable, and brings a hint of boho nostalgia with a 2025 twist. Enter Next's Lipsy Pink and Orange Crochet dress.

We will be wearing this all summer long.
This stunner is the definition of feel-good fashion. With a vibrant mix of pink and orange chevron stripes, it’s a walking sunset. The addition of glittering metallic threads catch the light beautifully, giving it that sun-kissed shimmer every summer wardrobe craves.
Made from a blend of polyester, cotton, metallised fibre and a touch of viscose, it strikes the perfect balance between breathable comfort and glitzy glam. The cotton-rich crochet knit keeps things breezy on even the hottest days, while those subtle metallic fibres elevate the whole vibe. Whether you're jetting off somewhere exotic or bringing heat to a BBQ, this dress is ready.
Styling it? So easy. For a casual daytime look, throw on some nude gladiator sandals, a straw bag, and oversized sunnies. The dress does most of the talking, so keep accessories simple and effortless. Heading out for cocktails? Swap in strappy gold heels, layer up a few delicate necklaces, and go for a sleek ponytail to show off those shoulders. Feeling festival-ready? Add white cowboy boots, a western belt, and a fringe crossbody.
What we really love is the versatility. It works as a poolside cover-up just as well as it does for a night under the stars. It’s that rare summer piece you’ll reach for again and again.
So if you’re after the hero dress for summer 2025, this Lipsy number is it. It’s got colour, sparkle, style - literally everything you would want in a summer dress.
